You will need to make a driver to drive the I2C/SMBus on the mobo. That's done through ISA or PCI, depending on the chip. See lm_sensors2/kernel/busses for our drivers. Then, the use that driver to drive the I2C/SMBus chip on that bus, see lm_sensors2/kernel/chips. Of course, if you use any of our code, make sure you comply with our license. Good luck!
