This is a public repository of all known ID's used in PCI devices: +ID's of vendors, devices, subsystems and device classes. It is used in +various programs (e.g., The PCI Utilities) +to display full human-readable names instead of cryptic numeric codes. + +
Welcome to the new web interface of the PCI ID database. +Many a thing has changed, so please read the help +even if you were familiar with the old website. + +
You can use our web interface to browse the lists and also to submit new +entries or to update the existing ones: + +
+ +You may want to read help before you start using the +web interface. + +
We generate daily snapshots of the database in form of a
+pci.ids
file. You can download the snapshot to update
+the list used by your system:
+
+
The above files require pciutils v2.2 or newer. If you are still using an older +version for some reason, please get these instead: pci.ids-2.0, +pci.ids-2.0.gz, or pci.ids-2.0.bz2. They +could however lack some subsystems. + +
The contents of the database and the generated files can be distributed under the terms of either the GNU General Public License (version 2 or later) or of the 3-clause BSD License. -
You may want to read help before you start using this site. -
The database is maintained by volunteers like you, so if you have any +devices which are not identified properly, please help us by adding them +to the database or by fixing the existing entry. + +
New entries are always welcome, but please submit only accurate information +– descriptions like "unknown modem device" are hardly useful for anybody. +of existing entries to clarify the description or to correct mistakes are also +welcome, but in this case please always add a discussion comment explaining the +reason for the change. + +
Updates can be submitted either via the web interface, or as patches to the pci.ids
+file sent by e-mail to our mail robot at pci-ids@ucw.cz
+(see the mail submit help).
+
+
In all cases, please read the submission guidelines +first. -
If you have any device not listed in our database, we'll be glad to hear -about it and add it to our database. +
New entries are welcome, but please submit only accurate information -– descriptions like "unknown modem device" are only of a little use to -anybody. Real chip names and numbers are preferred over marketing names, -in case you know both, please enclose the marketing name in square brackets -like in "3c595 100BaseTX [Vortex]". Please avoid repeating vendor -names in device or subsystem names. If you have anything important to mention -(especially why are you changing an existing entry), please add a discussion comment. +
If you have encountered any problems or if you have any suggestions, please let +us know. +
-You may submit them on this site (for help see this) or -send a patch to pci.ids file to address pci-ids@ucw.cz. -See mail submit help. +The source code of this web application is publicly available. +If you want to examine it or need some similar application, you can find it here. +
