1 Kernel driver i2c-sis96x 2 3 Replaces 2.4.x i2c-sis645 4 5 Supported adapters: 6 * Silicon Integrated Systems Corp (SiS) 7 Any combination of these host bridges: 8 645, 645DX (aka 646), 648, 650, 651, 655, 735, 745, 746 9 and these south bridges: 10 961, 962, 963(L) 11 12 Author: Mark M. Hoffman <mhoffman@lightlink.com> 13 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 can't 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 linux-i2c mailing list: <linux-i2c@vger.kernel.org>. Please send bug 46 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. 54 55 56 Thank You 57 --------- 58 59 Mark D. Studebaker <mdsxyz123@yahoo.com> 60 - design hints and bug fixes 61 Alexander Maylsh <amalysh@web.de> 62 - ditto, plus an important datasheet... almost the one I really wanted 63 Hans-Günter Lütke Uphues <hg_lu@t-online.de> 64 - patch for SiS735 65 Robert Zwerus <arzie@dds.nl> 66 - testing for SiS645DX 67 Kianusch Sayah Karadji <kianusch@sk-tech.net> 68 - patch for SiS645DX/962 69 Ken Healy 70 - patch for SiS655 71 72 To anyone else who has written w/ feedback, thanks!
