| 4 | | This is a summary of the sensor and non-sensor chips supported |

| 5 | | by this package. It lists the features of each supported chip. |

| 6 | | |
|---|
| 7 | | For further information on a particular chip, see the documentation |
|---|
| 8 | | in this directory. Data sheets are generally available on the |
|---|
| 9 | | manufacturer's web site. |

| 10 | | |
|---|
| 11 | | To determine what chips you have in your system, |
|---|
| 12 | | run prog/detect/sensors-detect. |
|---|
| 13 | | |
|---|
| 14 | | If your sensor chip is not detected by sensors-detect |
|---|
| 15 | | or supported by this package, |
|---|
| 16 | | please send mail (see http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/author.html) |
|---|
| 17 | | |
|---|
| 18 | | Please include the following in your mail: |
|---|
| 19 | | - The output of (as root) 'prog/detect/sensors-detect' |
|---|
| 20 | | - The output of (as root) 'prog/detect/i2cdetect 1' |
|---|
| 21 | | (assuming your smbus adapter is on bus 1 - |
|---|
| 22 | | run 'i2cdetect' with no arguments to list the busses). |
|---|
| 23 | | - The output of (as root) 'prog/dump/i2cdump X 0xXX' |
|---|
| 24 | | X = the bus number |
|---|
| 25 | | XX = the address of each chip you see in the output |
|---|
| 26 | | of i2cdetect. (run once for each chip) |
|---|
| 27 | | - Part numbers of chips on your motherboard you think are |
|---|
| 28 | | the sensor chips (look at your motherboard) |
|---|

| | 4 | This is a summary of the sensor and non-sensor chips supported by this |
|---|
| | 5 | package. It lists the features of each supported chip. For further |
|---|
| | 6 | information on a particular driver, see the documentation in this |
|---|
| | 7 | directory. |
|---|
| | 8 | |
|---|
| | 9 | To determine what chips you have in your system, run 'sensors-detect'. |
|---|
| | 10 | |
|---|
| | 11 | If your sensor chip is not detected by sensors-detect, please contact us |
|---|
| | 12 | (see http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/author.html). Only contact us |
|---|
| | 13 | if you know for sure that your system includes a sensor chip (for |
|---|
| | 14 | example if you have technical documentation mentioning it, or if the |
|---|
| | 15 | BIOS setup screen presents monitoring values, or if you can get |
|---|
| | 16 | hardware monitoring to work using a different OS). Do *not* contact us |
|---|
| | 17 | if you have no proof that your system includes sensors. Such systems |
|---|
| | 18 | tend to be rare these days, but do still exist. This is especially true |
|---|
| | 19 | of laptops. If there are no sensors, there's nothing we can do. |
|---|
| | 20 | |
|---|
| | 21 | If you contact us, please include the following in your mail: |
|---|
| | 22 | - The output of (as root) 'sensors-detect'. Make sure you unloaded |
|---|
| | 23 | every chip driver beforehand (check that the sensors-detect script |
|---|
| | 24 | does not complain that it couldn't probe some I2C addresses on any |
|---|
| | 25 | given bus). |
|---|
| | 26 | - Dumps of the chips that might be hardware monitoring chips. To get |
|---|
| | 27 | these, follow the following steps: |
|---|
| | 28 | 1* Run 'i2cdetect -l'. This will list all available I2C (or SMBus) |
|---|
| | 29 | busses on your system. |
|---|
| | 30 | 2* For each bus listed, run (as root) 'i2cdetect N' where N is the |
|---|
| | 31 | bus number. |
|---|
| | 32 | 3* For each bus, if there is anything in the ranges 0x20-0x2f or |
|---|
| | 33 | 0x48-0x4f, dump the contents of that chip with (as root) |
|---|
| | 34 | 'i2cdump N 0xXX', where N is the bus number and XX is the |
|---|
| | 35 | responsive address. Chips in other address ranges are way less |
|---|
| | 36 | likely to be hardware monitoring chips. In particular, do not |
|---|
| | 37 | send dumps of addresses 0x08, 0x0c, 0x10, 0x30-0x37, 0x42, 0x44, |
|---|
| | 38 | 0x50-0x5f, 0x61 and 0x69. These are *not* hadware monitoring |
|---|
| | 39 | chips. |
|---|
| | 40 | - The part numbers of the chips on your motherboard you think are the |
|---|
| | 41 | sensor chips. |
|---|
| | 42 | |
