# mme(1)

Qualcomm Atheros vendor-specific message enumerator

## NAME

mme - Qualcomm Atheros vendor-specific message enumerator

## SYNOPSIS

**mme** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

Print Atheros vendor-specific message types and names with associated error codes and text on stdout. Output can be printed in various formats such as **HTML**, **CSV** and plain text. The plain text format is ideal for searching using a utility like **grep**.

This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. See the **AMP** man page for an overview and installation instructions.

## OPTIONS

- \-**c**

  Output in Comma Separated Value (CSV) format. This format is suitable for import into a spreadsheet or database.

- \-**h**

  Output in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) format. This format is suitable for inclusion on a basic webpage.

- \-**?**, --**help**

  Print program help summary on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.

- \-**!**, --**version**

  Print program version information on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line. Use this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros Technical Support so that they know exactly which version of the Linux Toolkit you are using. See the HomePlug AV Specification for a description of all HomePlug AV message types. See the Qualcomm Atheros INT6000 Firmware Reference Manual for a description of Atheros Vendor Specific message types.

## EXAMPLES

The following example prints Atheros vendor-specific message codes and names, along with associated error codes and text, on stdout. The output format is plain text because no formatting options were specified on the command line.

   \# mme\
    0xA005 VS\_WR\_MEM.CNF       0x14 "Bad Checksum"\
    0xA005 VS\_WR\_MEM.CNF       0x1C "Bad Length"\
    0xA005 VS\_WR\_MEM.CNF       0x38 "Bad Address"\
    0xA005 VS\_WR\_MEM.CNF       0x3C "Bad Data Alignment"\
    0xA009 VS\_RD\_MEM.CNF       0x10 "Bad Offset"\
    0xA009 VS\_RD\_MEM.CNF       0x14 "Bad Length"\
    0xA00D VS\_ST\_MAC.CNF       0x10 "Bad Module ID"\
    0xA00D VS\_ST\_MAC.CNF       0x14 "Bad Image Checksum"\
    0xA00D VS\_ST\_MAC.CNF       0x1C "Bad Image Length"\
    0xA00D VS\_ST\_MAC.CNF       0x38 "Bad Image Load Address"\
    0xA00D VS\_ST\_MAC.CNF       0x3C "Bad Data Alignment"\
    0xA00D VS\_ST\_MAC.CNF       0x40 "Bad Start Address"\
    0xA011 VS\_GET\_NVM.CNF      0x10 "No NVRAM"\
    0xA01D VS\_RS\_DEV.CNF       0x01 "Device Failed to Reset"\
    0xA01D VS\_RS\_DEV.CNF       0x02 "Device Busy"\
    0xA021 VS\_WR\_MOD.CNF       0x10 "Bad Module"\
    0xA021 VS\_WR\_MOD.CNF       0x12 "Bad Length"\
    0xA021 VS\_WR\_MOD.CNF       0x14 "Bad Checksum"\
    0xA021 VS\_WR\_MOD.CNF       0x20 "Bad Offset"\
    0xA021 VS\_WR\_MOD.CNF       0x40 "Operation Blocked"\
    0xA021 VS\_WR\_MOD.CNF       0x50 "Fail to lock NVM"\
    0xA025 VS\_RD\_MOD.CNF       0x10 "Bad Module"\
    0xA025 VS\_RD\_MOD.CNF       0x12 "Bad Length"\
    0xA025 VS\_RD\_MOD.CNF       0x14 "Bad Checksum"\
    ......

The next example does the same thing but output is piped into the **grep** utility which selects only those lines containing the substring "**0x40**". The result shows that this error code is used by two different Atheros vendor-specific messages.

   \# mme \| grep "0x40"\
    0xA00D VS\_ST\_MAC.CNF       0x40 "Bad Start Address"\
    0xA021 VS\_WR\_MOD.CNF       0x40 "Operation Blocked"\
    ......
