[lm-sensors] Questions about LPC and HW monitor IC drivers porting

[lm-sensors] Questions about LPC and HW monitor IC drivers porting

[dave jones]

Hi,

I found out my board has Winbond LPC and HW monitor IC that lm-sensors
doesn't support
yet. I'm trying to write those drivers. My question is should I finish
LPC firstly, then HW
monitor driver, or vise virsa? Thanks.

Regards,
Dave.

Hi Dave,

LPC is a bus and not a chip. Access to this bus is done transparently by
southbridge. Please can you tell us what chip you want to support?

LPC is Winbond W83697UF, thanks.

Hmm this chip does not seem to have hardware monitoring caps? Are you sure it is
right one? Perhaps the chip is connected elsewhere? Maybe an i2c bus driven by GPIO?

Oops, sorry, I thought you meant LPC. The hw monitoring chip is
Winbond W83L786NR.
That chip was already supported in lm-sensors? Thanks.

No there is not. Maybe it is more or less compatible with something, this must
be checked first.

I've added detection to sensors-detect in SVN, can you please give it a
try and confirm that it finds your chip?
http://www.lm-sensors.org/browser/lm-sensors/trunk/prog/detect/sensors-detect?format=txt

I've also added an entry in wiki/Devices.

Yes, it can find my chip, thanks.
