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.
