Description:
This small utility is able to show and optionally change the EEPROM contents of VIA VT6307 based controllers. Most notably this can switch OHCI 1.0 versions of such cards to OHCI 1.1 support.

In order to compile vt6307ohciver, you have to install libpci and its headers first. The necessary package is called something like pciutils-devel (Mandrake 10.1) or pciutils (Gentoo). To compile, use the command

$ gcc vt6307ohciver.c -o vt6307ohciver -lpci

(this works on Mandrake 10.1), or

$ gcc vt6307ohciver.c -o vt6307ohciver -lpci -lz

(this works on Gentoo).

Note, vt6307ohciver is also able to show EEPROM contents of VIA VT6306 (which it displays as type 6307). It is not yet clear whether it can also reprogram VT6306.
