You can emulate up to 10 chips on it, supporting the basic SMBus transactions most I2C-based hwmon devices use. So, if you have a register dump from such a device, you can emulate it on any machine. I do that all the times when working on hwmon drivers for hardware I don't have. For example this works very well with the lm90 driver. If you want dumps from lm90-compatible chips, just let me know and I'll send them to you. This should also works reasonably well with most National Semiconductor and Analog Device chips. Just Winbond chips don't work well because they use banks and i2c-stub doesn't have support for that. I wrote a helper script, which is in recent versions of the i2c-tools package, to load dumps to i2c-stub automatically (named i2c-stub-from-dump). -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/wishlist.html _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
