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