Hi list,

I have a small system built around an Alix 2D2 motherboard. lm_sensors
used to work fine using the scx200_axb and lm90 modules, I was able to
get this:

[admin@localhost ~]$ sensors
lm86-i2c-0-4c
Adapter: CS5536 ACB0
temp1:       +40.0°C  (low  =  +0.0°C, high = +70.0°C)
                      (crit = +85.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C)
temp2:       +45.9°C  (low  =  +0.0°C, high = +70.0°C)
                      (crit = +85.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C)

But for some time now, it no longer works. I load the same modules, but
it seems like the lm90 is no longer seen, though the module loads fine.
All I get in the logs is:
	scx200_acb: NatSemi SCx200 ACCESS.bus Driver
	i2c /dev entries driver

I'm using lm_sensors-3.3.0, and kernel-3.0.1 (config attached).

sensors-detect output:

Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no):
Using driver `scx200_acb' for device 0000:00:0f.0: CS5536 [Geode
companion] ISA
Module scx200_acb loaded successfully.
Module i2c-dev loaded successfully.

Sorry, no sensors were detected.

What am I missing ?


Thanks,

Hi,

First question is what you mean with "for some time now". days ? weeks ?
months ? years ? since 3.0 ? 2.6.39 ? 2.4.16 ?

Would be great if you can point to the most recent working kernel.

Second, please provide output of "i2cdetect 0" (i2c-dev needs to be
loaded for this to work). That should show us if the sensor is still
detected on the i2c bus.

If it is, please also provide output of "i2cdump 0 0x4c".

For the lm90 module, please make sure that it is really loaded. You can
verify this with the "lsmod" command.

Thanks,
Guenter

Unfortunately I don't know, but it is more than one year. It did work in
2.6.32.2, I'm sure it didn't work in 2.6.38, 2.6.39.

Sorry, I didn't notice when it stopped to work.

[admin@ix100 ~]$ sudo i2cdetect 0
Error: Could not open file `/dev/i2c-0': No such device

lsmod gives:
Module                  Size  Used by
lm90                    7852  0
i2c_dev                 3324  0
scx200_acb              3388  0
...

This is what I see in my logs
i2c /dev entries driver
i2c-core: driver [lm90] registered

Looks like the i2c adapter is not recognized. Do you see anything in /sys/class/i2c-adapter ?

Looking into the i2c bus driver code, it was recently converted into a platform driver.
The supporting mfd driver would be cs5535-mfd. That might be one possible reason
for your problem, though it happened less than a year ago.

There have been other changes over time; since you don't know when the problem started,
it will be quite difficult if not impossible to track down the problem. You may have to
do some trials with different kernel versions to identify when the problem was introduced,
and then do some development work and use bisect to track down the actual commit.

Anyway, this is quite obviously a i2c bus driver problem, meaning you are on the wrong
mailing list. i2c issues should be discussed on linux-i2c@vger.kernel.org.

Thanks,
Guenter

Thanks Guenter, that was my problem (cs5535_mfd missing); now it is
working again:
[admin@ix100 ~]$ sensors
lm86-i2c-0-4c
Adapter: CS5535 ACB0
temp1:        +43.0°C  (low  =  +0.0°C, high = +70.0°C)
                       (crit = +85.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C)
temp2:        +49.8°C  (low  =  +0.0°C, high = +70.0°C)
                       (crit = +85.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C)

Shouldn't scx200_acb depend on cs5535_mfd in the kernel configuration
options ?

Good.

I don't know. Again, you might want to ask that kind of question on the i2c mailing list.

Thanks,
Guenter
