============================================================================= FOR QUICK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SEE THE 'QUICKSTART' FILE. FOR FULL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SEE THE 'INSTALL' FILE. FOR THE FAQ SEE THE 'doc/FAQ' or 'doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html' FILES. ============================================================================= OVERVIEW OF THE LM_SENSORS PACKAGE AND SUMMARY OF SUPPORTED DEVICES !!! This package is ONLY for 2.6 and 2.4 kernels (2.4.10 or later). !!! !!! For 2.4 kernels, this package requires i2c-2.9.0 or later. !!! FOR 2.6 KERNELS, use only the userspace tools in this package! Build and install them with 'make user' and 'make user_install'. The kernel modules in this package will NOT compile for 2.6; use the drivers already in the 2.6 kernel. Check the QUICKSTART file for brief installation instructions please. ============================================================================= This is the completely rewritten version 2 of lm_sensors, a collection of modules for general SMBus[1] access and hardware monitoring. Version 1 is now officially unsupported. WARNING! The drivers in this package will work on reasonably recent 2.4 kernels only (2.4.10 and later). Use lm_sensors-2.4.5 for 2.0 kernels. Use lm_sensors-2.7.0 for 2.2, and early 2.4 (up to 2.4.9) kernels. Use the drivers already in the kernel for 2.6 kernels; if you need additional drivers in 2.6 please port and submit them to us. HOWEVER, the userspace tools in this package will work for both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. The I2C[2] package in existing 2.4 kernels is NOT sufficient for compilation of this package. You need i2c-2.9.0 or later. See the lm_sensors download page for further guidance: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Download ============================================================================= At least the following I2C/SMBus adapters are supported: Acer Labs M1533, M1535, M1543C and M1563 AMD 756, 766, 768 and 8111 AMD 8111 SMBus 2.0 Apple Hydra (used on some PPC machines) ATI IXP200, IXP300, IXP400, SB600, SB700, SB800 DEC 21272/21274 (Tsunami/Typhoon - on Alpha boards) Intel ICH/ICH0/ICH2/ICH3/ICH4/ICH5/ICH6/ICH7/ICH8/ICH9 (82801xx) Intel 6300ESB, 631xESB/632xESB (ESB2) Intel Tolapai, ICH10 Intel PIIX4 (used in many Intel chipsets) Intel I810/I810E/I815/I845G GMCH Intel 82443MX (440MX) NVidia nForce, nForce2, nForce3, nForce4 ServerWorks OSB4, CSB5, CSB6, HT-1000 SiS 5595, 630, 645, 655, 730 SMSC Victory66 3Dfx Voodoo 3 and Banshee VIA Technologies VT82C586B, VT82C596A/B, VT82C686A/B, VT8231, VT8233, VT8233A, VT8235, VT8237R/A, VT8251, CX700 At least the following hardware sensor chips are supported: Analog Devices ADM1021, ADM1021A, ADM1022, ADM1023, ADM1024, ADM1025, ADM1026, ADM1027, ADM1030, ADM1031, ADM1032, ADM9240, ADT7461 and ADT7463 Asus AS99127F, ASB100 Bach Dallas Semiconductor DS75, DS1621, DS1625, DS1775, and DS1780 Hewlett Packard Maxilife (several revisions including '99 NBA) Fintek F71805F/FG Fujitsu Siemens Poseidon, Scylla, Hermes Genesys Logic GL518SM, GL520SM, GL523SM Intel Xeon processor embedded sensors ITE IT8705F, IT8712F Maxim MAX1617, MAX1617A, MAX1619, MAX6650, MAX6651, MAX6633, MAX6634, MAX6635, MAX6657, MAX6658, MAX6659 Microchip TC1068, TCM1617, TCN75 Myson MTP008 National Semiconductor LM63, LM75, LM76, LM78, LM78-J, LM79, LM80, LM81, LM82, LM83, LM84, LM85, LM86, LM87, LM89, LM90, LM92, LM93, LM99, PC87360, PC87363, PC87364, PC87365, PC87366 Philips NE1617, NE1617A, NE1619 SiS 5595, 950 embedded sensors SMSC 47M1xx embedded sensors, EMC6D100, EMC6D101, EMC6D102 TI THMC10 and THMC50 VIA Technologies VT1211, VT8231 and VT82C686A/B embedded sensors Winbond W83781D, W83782D, W83783S, W83791D, W83792D, W83627HF, W83627THF, W83637HF, W83687THF, W83697HF, W83627EHF/EHG We also support some miscellaneous chips: Dallas DS1307 real time clock Intel Xeon processor embedded EEPROMs Linear Technologies LTC1710 Philips Semiconductors PCF8574, PCF8591 DDC Monitor embedded EEPROMs SDRAM Dimms with Serial Presence Detect EEPROMs Smart Battery sensors IPMI-BMC sensors Philips Semiconductors SAA1064 The list above may be out of date; see our Devices page at http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for the latest information on supported devices. You may also refer to doc/chips/SUMMARY for details on what each chip can monitor. We always appreciate testers. If you own a specific monitoring chip we do not yet (properly) support, and are willing to help us out, please contact us. Even if you have no programming knowledge, you could help us by running new modules and reporting on the results and output. If you want to offer more substantial help, this is very welcome too, of course. Don't ask us whether we support a particular mainboard; we do not know. We *do* know what hardware we support, but usually, it is easier to install everything and run sensors-detect. It will tell you what hardware you have (and incidentally, what corresponding drivers are needed). SMBus, also known as System Management Bus, is a protocol for communicating through a I2C ('I squared C') bus. Many modern mainboards have a System Management Bus. There are a lot of devices which can be connected to a SMBus; the most notable are modern memory chips with EEPROM memories and chips for hardware monitoring. Most modern mainboards incorporate some form of hardware monitoring chips. These chips read things like chip temperatures, fan rotation speeds and voltage levels. There are quite a few different chips which can be used by mainboard builders for approximately the same results. Hardware monitoring chips often have an SMBus or I2C interface. Some are connected to ISA bus instead. Some of them can do both, in which case we either support both access methods (old drivers) or only support ISA access (new drivers) as it is faster. Because the SMBus is just a special case of the generalized I2C bus, we can simulate the SMBus protocol on plain I2C busses. These busses are sometimes used in other parts of your computer. If a supported chip is attached to one of these additional busses, they can be used too. Please read INSTALL before trying to compile and install these modules. There is a lot of additional documentation in the doc/ subdirectory. The developers of this package can be reached through a mailing-list (see http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/AuthorsAndContributors). Do not hesitate to mail us if you have questions, suggestions, problems, want to contribute, or just want to report it works for you. But please try to read the documentation and FAQ before you ask any questions! The latest version of this package can always be found at: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Download. Pre-release versions can be retrieved through anonymous SVN; see doc/svn for details.
