To make the tool more useful we need
As many supported Super I/Os as possible.
Supporting new ones is relatively easy, but a bit time-consuming. You have to grab the datasheet, find out the ID/version of the Super I/O and add it in the respective file (ite.c for ITE Super I/Os, for example). For the dump functionality you have to add a (large) table with all registers and their defaults.
Okay -- I grabbed the code from SVN, compiled it and ran it on a few computers, but I didn't get any useful output (verbose mode was also pretty sparse). I assume that this means that my Super I/O chips are not supported, correct?
Not supported by superiotool, however if there was any output at all, we'd like to know it.
Ok. I'll re-run the tests when I get a chance and send in the output.
I can send dozens of ITE data sheets (even for now unavailable chips) your way.
Great. If you could just put those on a webserver someplace, that would be excellent. Any kind of preference on what chips get supported first?
What's the vendor of your Super I/O?
Well, as I said, I tested superiotool on multiple machines. I should be able to just crack the case on a machine and spot it on the motherboard, I assume?
