+### Tools
+
+Tools that help the driver writing process: 
+
+* [[EnvyTools|http://github.com/pathscale/envytools]] - hardware register database, documentation and collection of RE tools (nvapeek, nvapoke, nvbios, envydis, etc.) 
+* [[MmioTrace|MmioTrace]] - traces memory mapped I/O access within kernel. Used to record how a driver module uses MMIO reads and writes. 
+* [[Valgrind-mmt|Valgrind-mmt]] - modification of [[Valgrind|http://valgrind.org/]] which intercepts all traffic to the driver 
+* [[Nouveau-PM|http://nouveau.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=nouveau/nouveau;a=tree;f=nouveau-pm]] 
+* [[REnouveau|REnouveau]] ([[CVS|http://nouveau.cvs.sourceforge.net/nouveau/renouveau/]]) - dumps the modifications in the command fifo and user-mapped registers when a process emits rendering commands. 
+Obsolete: 
+
+* [[RulesNG|RulesNG]] - hardware register database (obsoleted by envytools). 
+* [[Nouveau CVS repo|http://nouveau.cvs.sourceforge.net/nouveau/]] - other tools and scripts (e.g. crashdump and createdump).

+
+### Documentation/Available source code

+#### Documentation about how nvidia hardware works
