The iotools package provides a set of simple command line tools that allow access to hardware device registers. Supported register interfaces include PCI, I/O, memory mapped I/O, SMBus, CPUID, and MSR. Also included are some utilities that allow for simple arithmetic, logical, and other operations. If you ever have to debug hardware, you could probably use these tools.
prettyprint is intended to provide an infrastructure and tools to describe and manipulate hardware registers and fields. Once described, it is possible to read and write fields symbolically. This allows one to browse the state of their hardware. Examples provided include simple state dumpers as well as a FUSE filesystem.
