This is a list of additional programs, that may or may not be installed by
|
|
`make install', and that usually can be found in the `prog' directory of
|
|
this package.
|
|
|
|
* prog/config/grab_busses.sh (written in bash and awk, not installed)
|
|
This program helps you generate the `bus' statements for your configuration
|
|
file. It read /proc/bus/i2c (or the file specified on the command-line),
|
|
and prints to stdout `bus' statements reflecting the currently detected
|
|
adapters.
|
|
* prog/detect/dectect.pl (written in Perl, not installed)
|
|
This program tries to detect the available SMBus adapters. In time, it will
|
|
also scan each adapter for supported devices (chips).
|
|
* prog/detect/i2cdetect (written in C, not installed)
|
|
This program scans your complete I2C or SMBus adapter for connected devices.
|
|
Not all devices can be detected in this way, though; and it may hang your
|
|
bus. Syntax:
|
|
./i2cdetect 0
|
|
Here the '0' stands for i2c-0 (check /proc/bus/i2c to find out which bus
|
|
you need).
|
|
* prog/doc/doc-features (written in C, not installed)
|
|
This program is/will be used to help us generate chip driver documentation.
|
|
* prog/dump/i2cdump (written in C, not installed)
|
|
This program helps to dump the registers of a I2C device that understands
|
|
the 'byte data' or 'word data' SMBus protocols. Usual syntax:
|
|
./i2cdump 0 0x49 b
|
|
Here the '0' stands for i2c-0 (check /proc/bus/i2c to find out which bus
|
|
you need), '0x49' is the device address, and 'b' or 'w' stands for byte
|
|
or word data.
|
|
* prog/dump/isadump (written in C, not installed)
|
|
This program helps to dump the registers of LM78-like chips, or more
|
|
exactly, chips which use an I/O-port for its address and one as its
|
|
data register. Usual syntax:
|
|
./isadump 0x295 0x296
|
|
* prog/eeprom/decode-dimms.pl (written in Perl 5, not installed)
|
|
This program decodes the information generated by the `eeprom.o' module.
|
|
It will only work for the installed eeprom module from the src/ directory,
|
|
not for the old one in the i2c/drivers/ directory.
|
|
* prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh (written in bash, not installed)
|
|
This script creates the /dev/i2c-* files. Please check the source before
|
|
you run it, as you may need to set some variables first.
|
|
* prog/sensors/sensors (written in C, installed by `make install')
|
|
This pretty-prints the information provided by the modules. It is a normal
|
|
console application, using stdin and stdout. It is essential, because
|
|
unlike the raw /proc/sys/dev/sensors/*/* files, it takes your configuration
|
|
file into account.
|
|
|
|
There are some programs distributed with Simon Vogl's i2c package too:
|
|
* i2c/detect/detect (written in C, not installed)
|
|
This program needs module `i2c-dev.o' to be loaded. It scans the complete
|
|
address range of a certain bus for connected devices. It will only work
|
|
for i2c-level drivers (not for PIIX4 busses). This program is superceded
|
|
by prog/detect/i2c-detect.
|
|
* i2c/eeprom/eeprom (written in C, not installed)
|
|
This program needs the i2c `eeprom.o' module (that is the one that is not
|
|
installed; it can be found in the i2c/drivers/ directory). It reads from
|
|
or writes to the eeprom.
