Subject: [lm-sensors] read/write access to SMBus on a PCIe slot
Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2007 13:19:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <467BCC5A.1000905@gsi.de> (raw)
Hello,
we are currently developing a custom PCIe card, based on Virtex-4 FX FPGA's.
Since PCIe slots have a SMBus connection, it would be very convenient to use
the SMBus as auxiliary connectivity, e.g. for firmware updates. This would
require the ability to read from and well write to such a SMBus target
implemented on a PCIe card.
That goes clearly beyond reading sensors, thus the question: is such
a functionality implementable based on what the i2c and lm-sensor
framework provides ? Any hint is very welcome.
With best regards, Walter
