| 5 | Superiotool is a user-space utility which can |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | - detect which Super I/O chip is soldered onto your mainboard, |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | - at which configuration port it's located (usually 0x2e or 0x4e), and |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | - dump all register contents of the Super I/O chip, together with the |
|---|
| 12 | default values as per datasheet (to make comparing the values easy). |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | It is mainly used for coreboot development purposes (see coreboot.org |
|---|
| 15 | for details on coreboot), but it may also be useful for other things. |

| 18 | Installation |
|---|
| 19 | ------------ |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | $ svn co svn://coreboot.org/repos/trunk/util/superiotool |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | $ cd superiotool |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | Optional: Edit the Makefile and set 'CONFIG_PCI = no' if you don't want to |
|---|
| 26 | support PCI-attached "Super I/Os" (which needs libpci-dev) such as the |
|---|
| 27 | VIA VT82686A/B southbridge with integrated Super I/O functionality. |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | $ make |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | $ sudo make install |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | Usage |
|---|
| 35 | ----- |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | Please read the superiotool(8) manpage or type 'superiotool --help'. |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | Per default (no options) superiotool will just probe for a Super I/O |
|---|
| 40 | and print its vendor, name, ID, revision, and config port. |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | Typical usage of superiotool: |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | - Probe/detect the Super I/O in your mainboard: |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | $ superiotool |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | - Register dump as table of hex-values of the Super I/O (if detected): |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | $ superiotool -d |
|---|
| 51 | |
|---|
| 52 | |
|---|
| 53 | Supported Super I/O Chips |
|---|
| 54 | ------------------------- |
|---|
| 55 | |
|---|
| 56 | Please see http://coreboot.org/Superiotool#Supported_devices, or type |
|---|
| 57 | |
|---|
| 58 | $ superiotool -l |
|---|
| 59 | |
|---|
| 60 | There's also a collection of sample register dumps from various Super I/O |
|---|
| 61 | chips on that web page. Please send further register dumps (either from a |
|---|
| 62 | proprietary BIOS and/or from coreboot) to the coreboot mailing list |
|---|
| 63 | (http://coreboot.org/Mailinglist). |
|---|
