Well... - the Tyan use PCA9556 to select the multiplexed bus... - SB800 (and SB700) seems to select lines writing the port number using a particolar protocol. > In fact, now that I have a SB800 datasheet, I better understand what > you were doing and how it should be implemented. > I don't even think you > need the multiplexer framework for the SB800. Are you sure? SB7/8xx has two i2c bus smbus(0) should be accessible to the user smbus(1) should be reserved to the chipset > it has 4 almost independent SMBus ports. smbus(0) may be connected to different physical port.... but each port may be routed by the OEM to different function... so these port aren't really independent. how to probe this? perhaps by reading DMI? > 1* Turn piix4_adapter to an array, so that it can hold up to 4 > i2c_adapter structures. > 2* Add a mutex to prevent concurrent access to the register set.

I tried to apply your suggestion... but... I don't really have the knowledges to do what you wrote... I need your help :( Regards Eddi _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
