cpuid_ecx

Execute the CPUID assembly instruction and return the value in ECX.

Syntax:

[result =] [[px]] cpuid_ecx [(eax[,ecx])]

Where:

[px]	is the viewpoint override, including punctuation ( [ ] ), specifying that the viewpoint is temporarily set to processor x of the boundary scan chain.  The processor can be specified as px (where x is the processor ID), or an alias you have defined for a given processor ID.  ALL cannot be used as a viewpoint override.
eax	is the value to be stored in EAX before the CPUID instruction is executed. If no value is specified, 1 is used by default.
ecx	is the value to be stored in ECX before the CPUID instruction is executed. If no value is specified, 0 is used by default.
result	is an ord4 variable to receive the value of ECX.

Discussion

Execute the CPUID instruction with the specified values of EAX and ECX.  The return value (ECX) can be assigned to a debug variable, or displayed on the command line.

Example 1

To run cpuid_ecx on the viewpoint processor with EAX=1 and display the value obtained in ECX:

Command input:

cpuid_ecx

Result:

0298E3FFH

Example 2

To run cpuid_ecx on the viewpoint processor with EAX=10 and display the value obtained in ECX:

Command input:

cpuid_ecx(10)

Result:

00000100H

Example 3

To run cpuid_ecx on the viewpoint processor with EAX=10 and ECX=5 and store the result obtained in ECX to a variable:

Command input:

define ord4 o4cpuidecx = cpuid_ecx(10,5)

04cpuidecx

Result:

00000005H
