Jean, Guenter, Thanks for the feedback. Some more information on my setup: I am running CentOS 6.4 / lm_sensors 3.1.1 / sensors detect 1.1. It looks like sensors-detect does probe the SMBus by default but in my case did not find an LM85 compatible chip. However, I manually loaded the lm85 kernel module and that got it working. So I think I should be able to modify /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors to automatically load the lm85 module on bootup? Also it does return temperatures, fan speeds, voltages, etc. On Fri, Jun 6, 2014 at 2:36 AM, Jean Delvare <jdelvare@xxxxxxx> wrote: > On Fri, 6 Jun 2014 00:51:40 -0700, Guenter Roeck wrote: > > On Fri, Jun 06, 2014 at 09:23:26AM +0200, Jean Delvare wrote: > > > > Even with a board, I for my part would not have time for writing a > driver. > > > > Given the age of the chip, my expectations for finding someone to > write > > > > a driver would be quite low.
