I am working on an embedded system that does not have smbus, so I created a some patches for lm-sensors tools that add a 'r' access method. The changes support i2c-get, i2c-put and i2c-dump. > > > > These changes allow the i2c-tools to be used without smbus support in the kernel device driver for the I2C inteface. > > > Is this really a problem ?

Jason, which i2c bus driver are you using? What does i2cdetect -F say about it? I suspect that the driver forgot to add I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_EMUL to its functionality callback. Just add that and you should be fine. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
