| 14 | Description |
| 15 | ----------- |
| 16 | |
| 17 | This SMBus only driver is known to work on motherboards with the above |
| 18 | named chipset combinations. The driver was developed without benefit of a |
| 19 | proper datasheet from SiS. The SMBus registers are assumed compatible with |
| 20 | those of the SiS630, although they are located in a completely different |
| 21 | place. Thanks to Alexander Malysh <amalysh@web.de> for providing the |
| 22 | SiS630 datasheet (and driver). |
| 23 | |
| 24 | The command "lspci" as root should produce something like these lines: |
| 25 | |
| 26 | 00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0645 |
| 27 | 00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 85C503/5513 |
| 28 | 00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0016 |
| 29 | |
| 30 | or perhaps this... |
| 31 | |
| 32 | 00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0645 |
| 33 | 00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0961 |
| 34 | 00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0016 |
| 35 | |
| 36 | (kernel versions later than 2.4.18 may fill in the "Unknown"s) |
| 37 | |
| 38 | If you cant see it please look on quirk_sis_96x_smbus |
| 39 | (drivers/pci/quirks.c) (also if southbridge detection fails) |
| 40 | |
| 41 | I suspect that this driver could be made to work for the following SiS |
| 42 | chipsets as well: 635, and 635T. If anyone owns a board with those chips |
| 43 | AND is willing to risk crashing & burning an otherwise well-behaved kernel |
| 44 | in the name of progress... please contact me at <mhoffman@lightlink.com> or |
| 45 | via the project's mailing list: <sensors@stimpy.netroedge.com>. Please |
| 46 | send bug reports and/or success stories as well. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | |
| 49 | TO DOs |
| 50 | ------ |
| 51 | |
| 52 | * The driver does not support SMBus block reads/writes; I may add them if a |
| 53 | scenario is found where they're needed. |

| 56 | Thank You |
