I've modified decode-dimms.pl to work on kernel 2.6 using /sys/bus/i2c in
place of /proc/sys/dev/sensors. I tried to preserve the ability to work
with /proc, but I don't have a system running an old kernel to test it on.
I've tested the new code on a Tyan S2892 motherboard running Fedora Core 4
with kernel-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.
The original script repeatedly grabbed 16 bytes of EEPROM data; I moved
that code into a subroutine get_16_bytes(). In the subroutine it now
decides which method to use to grab the data based on whether the filename
starts with /proc. If not, it invokes 'od' with various arguments to
get the data. I'm not much of a Perl programmer, so there's probably
a better way to do it.
The updated script is on my web site:
