1======================== 2Kernel driver i2c-sis96x 3======================== 4 5Replaces 2.4.x i2c-sis645 6 7Supported adapters: 8 9 * Silicon Integrated Systems Corp (SiS) 10 11 Any combination of these host bridges: 12 645, 645DX (aka 646), 648, 650, 651, 655, 735, 745, 746 13 14 and these south bridges: 15 961, 962, 963(L) 16 17Author: Mark M. Hoffman <mhoffman@lightlink.com> 18 19Description 20----------- 21 22This SMBus only driver is known to work on motherboards with the above 23named chipset combinations. The driver was developed without benefit of a 24proper datasheet from SiS. The SMBus registers are assumed compatible with 25those of the SiS630, although they are located in a completely different 26place. Thanks to Alexander Malysh <amalysh@web.de> for providing the 27SiS630 datasheet (and driver). 28 29The command ``lspci`` as root should produce something like these lines:: 30 31 00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0645 32 00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 85C503/5513 33 00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0016 34 35or perhaps this:: 36 37 00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0645 38 00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0961 39 00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0016 40 41(kernel versions later than 2.4.18 may fill in the "Unknown"s) 42 43If you can't see it please look on quirk_sis_96x_smbus 44(drivers/pci/quirks.c) (also if southbridge detection fails) 45 46I suspect that this driver could be made to work for the following SiS 47chipsets as well: 635, and 635T. If anyone owns a board with those chips 48AND is willing to risk crashing & burning an otherwise well-behaved kernel 49in the name of progress... please contact me at <mhoffman@lightlink.com> or 50via the linux-i2c mailing list: <linux-i2c@vger.kernel.org>. Please send bug 51reports and/or success stories as well. 52 53 54TO DOs 55------ 56 57* The driver does not support SMBus block reads/writes; I may add them if a 58 scenario is found where they're needed. 59 60 61Thank You 62--------- 63 64Mark D.
