Superiotool README
|
||||||
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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.

Installation
|
||||||
|
------------
|
||||||

$ svn co svn://linuxbios.org/repos/trunk/util/superiotool
|
||||||
|

Usage
|
||||||
|
-----
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ superiotool
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Currently the tool will automatically try to detect which Super I/O you
|
||||||
|
have, and also dump the register contents.
