Module Parameters
|
|
-----------------
|
|
(none)
|
|
|
|

|
Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
This driver uses the i2c-algo-bit module which must be
|
|
modprobed and/or enabled in your kernel
|
|
(Character Devices -> I2C Support -> I2C Bit-Banging Interfaces).
|
|
|
|
WARNING: If you have an '810' or '815' motherboard, your standard I2C
|
|
temperature sensors are most likely on the 801's I2C bus.
|
|
You want the i2c-i801.o driver for those, not this driver.
|
|
|
|
Now for the i2c-i810...
|
|
|
|
The GMCH chip contains two I2C interfaces.
|
|
|
|
The first interface is used for DDC (Data Display Channel)
|
|
which is a serial channel through the VGA monitor connector
|
|
to a DDC-compliant monitor. This interface is defined by the
|
|
Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). The standards
|
|
are available for purchase at http://www.vesa.org .
|
|
|
|
The second interface is a general-purpose I2C bus.
|
|
It may be connected to a TV-out chip such as the BT869 or possibly
|
|
to a digital flat-panel display.
|
|
|
|
Stability
|
|
---------
|
|
Apparently stable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Supported Devices
|
|
-----------------
|
|
See above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
Both busses use the i2c-algo-bit driver for 'bit banging' and support
|
|
for specific transactions is provided by i2c-algo-bit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Issues
|
|
------
|
|
If you enable bus testing in i2c-algo-bit (insmod i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1),
|
|
the test may fail; if so, the i2c-i810 driver won't be inserted.
|
|
However, we think this has been fixed.
