Superiotool is a user-space utility which can
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- detect which Super I/O chip is soldered onto your mainboard,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- at which configuration port it's located (usually 0x2e or 0x4e), and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- dump all register contents of the Super I/O chip, together with the
|
|
|
|
|
default values as per datasheet (to make comparing the values easy).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is mainly used for LinuxBIOS development purposes (see linuxbios.org
|
|
|
|
|
for details on LinuxBIOS), but it may also be useful for other things.

Per default (no options) superiotool will just probe for a Super I/O
|
2007-10-01 15:39:02 +02:00
|
|
|
and print its vendor, name, ID, revision, and config port.

Typical usage of superiotool:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Probe/detect the Super I/O in your mainboard:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ superiotool
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-09-21 01:57:44 +02:00
|
|
|
- Register dump as table of hex-values of the Super I/O (if detected):
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ superiotool -d

There's also a collection of sample register dumps from various Super I/O
|
|
|
|
|
chips on that page. Please send further register dumps (either from a
|
|
|
|
|
proprietary BIOS and/or from LinuxBIOS) to the LinuxBIOS mailing list
|
|
|
|
|
(http://linuxbios.org/Mailinglist).
