the LM90 only allows 1 smbus adress and thus there can not be 2 Iwill switches the input from the 2 cpu's, put a certain pin high and you get cpu0, put it low and you get cpu1 on the SAME LM90 Jean has the code and it is based on info gotten from IWill Regards, Alex - Please always attach all previous mails ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Motherboard Monitor: http://mbm.livewiredev.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For long you live and high you fly, And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry, And all you touch and all you see, Is all your life will ever be. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Jean Delvare [mailto:khali at linux-fr.org] Sent: dinsdag 7 oktober 2003 17:20 To: lamar at synque.com Cc: sensors at stimpy.netroedge.com; mbm at livewiredev.com Subject: Re: Iwill MPX2 - LM83/LM90 confusion > One more item, I hope this isn't noise, but there may be two(!) > LM90s/LM83s on the MPX2. Maybe, maybe not.

Because most sensor chips are located on the I2C bus (aka SMBus). > Are you upgrading i2c to handle devices that lm_sensors will use? Yes, sort of. We add utility functions, remove unused ones, adapt internal structures to reflect kernel policy changes, and so on. You do not always need the exact same version of i2c and lm_sensors, but since we also fix bugs it i2c, you always want to update i2c to match the version of lm_sensors you plan to install. Let us know how 2.8.1 does work for you :) Thanks. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/ ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/
