[lm-sensors] anyone working on driver for SMSC DME1737

Hi,

Wanted to know if anyone is working on a driver for the SMSC DME1737 
sensor chip..?.

A bunch of new Opetron motherboards that i work with use this chip. I 
wanted to take a crack at writing a module for it if no one has already 
started work on it.

Any suggestions/info are always welcome.

Thanx
sam!!

Hi all,

I just noted that Emmanuel A8000 chip might be compatible with dme1737

http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2006-January/015011.html

30: 39 ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 5c 89    9.............\?

The chip has ID 5c 89 and the DME1737 has 5c 88.
So they differ just in stepping.

Regards
Rudolf

That is correct, no driver for it yet.

Please wait for Alex to respond with his status report ;)
