[lm-sensors] WPCD374L question

[lm-sensors] WPCD374L question

[Carl Morris]

All,
	Just joined the list, I'm writing because the wiki/Devices
page specifically asked me to contact lm-sensors if I was using the WPCD374L
(replaced PC8374L according to Winbond) chip.  I searched the archives for
info on how to monitor data from this chip and found one thread from a
couple of years ago asking for info when using the latest version of
sensors-detect.

I get the "Found 'Nat. Semi. PC8374L Super IO Sensors' (but not activated)"
message, but nothing else that seems to be related.  And of course, I
can't seem to get any data from it when I run /usr/bin/sensors.

I'm new to all this and pretty clueless about Linux in general (I'm an
embedded FW for storage guy), but if anybody has any clues or wants
any info from me as implied by the wiki/Devices page let me know.

Thanks.

I would be the one who posted the call for contact. Meanwhile, looking
at ticket:
  http://www.lm-sensors.org/ticket/2182
it seems that everything is solved, both in sensors-detect and in the
lm85 driver, so the call should be cleared. I've just done that.

As far as your system is concerned, I can't say anything without the
complete output of (a recent version of) sensors-detect. Maybe your
system simply doesn't implement hardware monitoring, or it has a not
yet supported device.

Thanks for the reply.  In our investigation of how to solve our
immediate problem we learned about IPMI and used it to create our
solution.  Making it work with sensors-detect is now a low/nonexistent
priority.  If you would like me to harvest some info for you anyway
I can do that, but for me the issue is closed.  Thanks again...

No need. If you're happy with your current solution, all is fine!
