grabbing PCI signals, rev-eng dev board

im trying to reverse engineer a windows driver for a PCI fpga development board so i can use it on a linux machine (write my own driver) all i need are the command and control signals in order to configure, do dma, reset, etc... i need to capture these things as they are being sent from the windows kernel to the PCI bus, then to the pci bridge on the board.

anyone have any ideas?

Softice would be able to do the trick but not a real easy program to master.

If You have PCI board with FPGA, RAM and some inferface to second PC, it would be easier to do it in hardware.

Easiest is to get hold of a VMETRO or CATALYST PCI bus analyzer. You can probably rent one.

Get any board that connect an FPGA to a PCI connector. This one would do:

Plug it into the same PCI-bus that your target board resides on.

Use chipscope to display the PCI waveforms. You can trigger on the base address of the board you are interested in together with a falling edge of FRAME .
