Can you cat /proc/bus/pci/devices? Analogously:

cat /proc/bus/pci/*
cat /proc/bus/*

When you find something that is like Is a directory, what is in there? What is it? Please share this information.

This issue termux/proot#97 @damionx7 appears to deal with an identical situation. You do not have access to the PCI bus on Android. Can you share what you are experiencing with your /proc/bus access?

i am getting access denied.

Try cat /proc/bus/*; Notice there are no cds in the example.

Thank you for sharing @damionx7. This issue #103 helped in getting htop up and running on Android 8. We could not have got htop going if it were not for help from termux/proot#32. Possibly we can make similar progress with this issue...

it fixes the issue

Great news! Can you share the snippet of code please? This can probably be incorperated into function _PR00TSTRING_ and automated for many users.

i created an empty file fbindprocpcidevices in ~/arch/var/binds/ and added the command to /usr/bin/startarch -b /data/data/com.termux/files/home/arch/var/binds/fbindprocpcidevices:/proc/bus/pci/devices.
after reading your comment, creating a .prs file would have been better.

I have looked at our work here, and I put in a little more effort. @damionx7 does this commit ad78d9e automate the issue we are working on? Please backup your work before refreshing as the same file names are used.

Command setupTermuxArch re:

[re [customdir]] Refresh the Arch Linux in Termux PRoot scripts created by TermuxArch. Useful for refreshing the root user's home directory and user home directories and the TermuxArch generated scripts to their newest version.

[damionx7]
