NAME¶
superiotool - Super I/O detection toolSYNOPSIS¶
superiotool [-delVvh]DESCRIPTION¶
superiotool is a GPL'd user-space utility which can* detect which Super I/O chip is soldered onto your mainboard,
* at which configuration port it's located (usually 0x2e or 0x4e), and
* dump all register contents of the Super I/O chip, together with the
default values as per datasheet (to make comparing the values easy). It is mainly used for coreboot development purposes (see coreboot.org for details on coreboot), but it may also be useful for other things. The list of supported Super I/O chips is available at http://coreboot.org/Superiotool#Supported_devices, but it can also be viewed by running superiotool -l.
OPTIONS¶
If no command line option is specified, superiotool merely tries to detect the Super I/O chip. You must use the -d option to dump the Super I/O register contents.- -d, --dump
- Dump Super I/O registers (if the Super I/O chip is detected
and superiotool supports the --dump option for this chip).
The output will look something like this:
- -e, --extra-dump
- Dump extra secondary register contents too, if available. Only in combination with the --dump option. This option will, for instance, dump the environmental controller (EC) configuration registers for the ITE IT8716F chip. The format is similar to the output of the --dump option.
- -l, --list-supported
- List all Super I/O chips recognized by superiotool. The phrase (dump available) following a chip name indicates that superiotool supports the --dump option for this chip.
- -V, --verbose
- Enable verbose mode. This option can be used together with
the -d option.
- -v, --version
- Show version information and exit.
- -h, --help
- Show a help text and exit.
