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.
|
|
|

The list above may be out of date;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!
|
