Most hardware monitoring chips use standard interfaces (I2C/SMBus, LPC, PCI...) so they can be found on a variety of systems. In the case of I2C/SMBus, our hardware monitoring drivers are platform-neutral and what you need is an underlying I2C/SMBus host controller driver for your platform. Most of them are under drivers/i2c/busses in the Linux kernel tree. We advertise hardware support on a per-chip basis, not per-platform basis. See: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices There is a partial list of I2C/SMBus host controller drivers at the bottom of this page, but it's PC-centric and thus incomplete and useless for other platforms. Libsensors itself is hardware-agnostic. All it does is map the sysfs interface exposed by hardware monitoring chip to an API which is convenient for C and C++ applications to use. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
