An output of lspci will show something similar to the +following:: + + 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2418 (rev 01) + 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2410 (rev 01) + 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2411 (rev 01) + 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2412 (rev 01) + 00:1f.3 Unknown class [0c05]: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2413 (rev 01) + +The SMBus controller is function 3 in device 1f. Class 0c05 is SMBus Serial +Controller. + +The ICH chips are quite similar to Intel's PIIX4 chip, at least in the +SMBus controller. + + +Process Call Support +-------------------- + +Block process call is supported on the 82801EB (ICH5) and later chips. + + +I2C Block Read Support +---------------------- + +I2C block read is supported on the 82801EB (ICH5) and later chips. + + +SMBus 2.0 Support +----------------- + +The 82801DB (ICH4) and later chips support several SMBus 2.0 features. + + +Interrupt Support +----------------- + +PCI interrupt support is supported on the 82801EB (ICH5) and later chips. + + +Hidden ICH SMBus +---------------- + +If your system has an Intel ICH south bridge, but you do NOT see the +SMBus device at 00:1f.3 in lspci, and you can't figure out any way in the +BIOS to enable it, it means it has been hidden by the BIOS code. Asus is +well known for first doing this on their P4B motherboard, and many other +boards after that. Some vendor machines are affected as well. + +The first thing to try is the "i2c-scmi" ACPI driver. It could be that the +SMBus was hidden on purpose because it'll be driven by ACPI. If the +i2c-scmi driver works for you, just forget about the i2c-i801 driver and +don't try to unhide the ICH SMBus. Even if i2c-scmi doesn't work, you +better make sure that the SMBus isn't used by the ACPI code. Try loading +the "fan" and "thermal" drivers, and check in /sys/class/thermal. If you +find a thermal zone with type "acpitz", it's likely that the ACPI is +accessing the SMBus and it's safer not to unhide it. Only once you are +certain that ACPI isn't using the SMBus, you can attempt to unhide it. + +In order to unhide the SMBus, we need to change the value of a PCI +register before the kernel enumerates the PCI devices. This is done in +drivers/pci/quirks.c, where all affected boards must be listed (see +function asus_hides_smbus_hostbridge.) If the SMBus device is missing, +and you think there's something interesting on the SMBus (e.g. a +hardware monitoring chip), you need to add your board to the list. + +The motherboard is identified using the subvendor and subdevice IDs of the +host bridge PCI device. Get yours with ``lspci -n -v -s 00:00.0``:: + + 00:00.0 Class 0600: 8086:2570 (rev 02) + Subsystem: 1043:80f2 + Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0 + Memory at fc000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] + Capabilities: [e4] #09 [2106] + Capabilities: [a0] AGP version 3.0 + +Here the host bridge ID is 2570 (82865G/PE/P), the subvendor ID is 1043 +(Asus) and the subdevice ID is 80f2 (P4P800-X). You can find the symbolic +names for the bridge ID and the subvendor ID in include/linux/pci_ids.h, +and then add a case for your subdevice ID at the right place in +drivers/pci/quirks.c. Then please give it very good testing, to make sure +that the unhidden SMBus doesn't conflict with e.g. ACPI. + +If it works, proves useful (i.e. there are usable chips on the SMBus) +and seems safe, please submit a patch for inclusion into the kernel. + +Note: There's a useful script in lm_sensors 2.10.2 and later, named +unhide_ICH_SMBus (in prog/hotplug), which uses the fakephp driver to +temporarily unhide the SMBus without having to patch and recompile your +kernel. It's very convenient if you just want to check if there's +anything interesting on your hidden ICH SMBus. + + +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The lm_sensors project gratefully acknowledges the support of Texas +Instruments in the initial development of this driver. + +The lm_sensors project gratefully acknowledges the support of Intel in the +development of SMBus 2.0 / ICH4 features of this driver. |
