LM87 support in LK2.6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Jeff,

I finally got around to testing your LM87 code, and I am having a few 
problems.

Let me describe my hardware environment first as it may help.  This 
LM87 is on a Microtik Routerboard 230, which uses a SC1100 system
on a chip unit.  I am therefore using the scx200_acb driver (as 
patched in the LM77 discussion thread to enable hardware
monitoring device detection).

sensors-detect finds the ACB buss, and finds the LM87.  So I then
load the lm87 module but then nothing.  sensors finds the other
device (eeprom) and correctly reports the installed memory size,
but nothing from the LM87.

Any ideas as to where to start looking?

David
