  • lm-sensors/trunk/INSTALL

    r363 r408  
    5555* BINDIR ($(PREFIX)/bin) 
    5656  The directory where 'make install' installs all executables. 
     57* SBINDIR ($(PREFIX)/sbin) 
     58  The directory where 'make install' installs all system programs (programs 
     59  which can only be run by root). 
    5760* INCLUDEDIR ($(PREFIX)/include) 
    5861  The base directory where 'make install' installs your include files. 
    …… 
    9396It can be tricky to know which modules you need to insert. For this reason, 
    9497I suggest you go the 'modprobe' way, as described within doc/modules. 
     98 
    9599If you just want to run a test without installing them, try the following: 
    96100  insmod i2c/i2c-core.o 
    …… 
    110114(the last is optional) from any directory to reach the same situation. 
    111115 
    112 There is a program 'detect.pl' in prog/detect which should tell you at least 
    113 what bus driver you should insert. This program is not completely failsafe, 
    114 but it may at least help. It will be expanded to cover chip detection too, 
    115 in the future. 
     116But instead of doing any of the above things, please read doc/modules and 
     117do a 'make install'. After that, you can run 'sensors-detect'. This Perl 
     118program will detect all hardware available on your system, and tell you 
     119what drivers you need to insert. First check whether you have /dev/i2c-* 
     120files (at least 4 of them), and if not, create them by running 'mkdev.sh' 
     121in directory prog/mkdev. 
    116122 
    117123Do not panic if some (or all) of the values in the /proc/sys/dev/sensors/*/*

    1919At least the following hardware sensor chips are supported: 
    2020  National Semicoductor LM75, LM78, LM78-J, LM79 and LM80 
    21   Winbond W83781D 
    22   Genesys Logic GL518SM 
     21  Winbond W83781D, W83782D and W83783S 
     22  Genesys Logic GL518SM (several revisions) 
    2323  Analog Devices ADM1021 and ADM9240 
    2424  SiS Southbridge (integrated in the chipset; the I2C adapter will also be 
    2525    supported in the near future) 
    26   Maxtor MAX1617 
     26  Maxtor MAX1617 and MAX1617A 
     27  Dallas Semiconductor DS1780 
     28  Hewlett Packard Maxilife (several revisions) 
     29 
     30We also support some miscellaneous chips: 
     31  Linear Technologies LTC1710 
     32  Dimms with EEPROMs 
    2733 
    2834We could use some testers of hardware. If you own a specific monitoring 
    …… 
    3137help us by running new modules and reporting on the results and output.  
    3238If you want to offer more substantial help, this is very welcome too, of 
    33 course. We have access to LM78(-J), LM79, LM75, Winbond W83781D and 
    34 GL518SM chips, and PIIX4 and VIA chipsets. 
     39course.

    …… 
    5964Amnong these is a list of supported busses and chips. Regrettably, there 
    6065are too many mainboards to keep a list of busses and chips used on them. 
    61 We will provide a user-space utility which probes for the presence of 
    62 chips and busses in one of the next releases. 
     66On the other hand, we provide a program called 'sensors-detect' which 
     67tries to figure out what hardware is available on your system.
