Voltage readings, +temperature readings, fan control, and fan speed measurements may be wrong +and/or missing. Fan control and fan speed may be enabled and reported for +non-existing fans.

It will tell you something like + + Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f + ... + Trying family `ITE'... Yes + Found unknown chip with ID 0x8665 + (logical device 4 has address 0x290, could be sensors) + +With this information, run the following commands. + +sudo isadump -k 0x87,0x01,0x55,0x55 0x2e 0x2f 7 +sudo isadump 0x295 0x296 + +and report the results. + +The addresses in the first command are from "Probing for Super-I/O at +0x2e/0x2f". Use those addresses in the first command. + sudo isadump -k 0x87,0x01,0x55,0x55 0x2e 0x2f 7 + +The addresses in the second command are from "has address 0x290". +Add 5 and 6 to this address for the next command. + sudo isadump 0x295 0x296 + +Next, force-install the driver by providing one of the already supported chips +as forced ID. Useful IDs to test are 0x8622, 0x8628, 0x8728, and 0x8732, though +feel free to test more IDs. For each ID, instantiate the driver as follows +(this example is instantiating driver with ID 0x8622). + sudo modprobe it87 force_id=0x8622 +After entering this command, run the "sensors" command and provide the output. +Then unload the driver with + sudo modprobe -r it87 +Repeat with different chip IDs, and report each result. + +Please also report your board type as well as voltages and fan settings from +the BIOS. If possible, connect fans to different fan headers and let us know +if all fans are detected and reported. + +This information _might_ give us enough information to add experimental support +for the chip in question. No guarantees, though - unless a datasheet is +available, something is likely to be wrong. diff --git a/TODO b/TODO index 169d808..0a2a0be 100644 --- a/TODO +++ b/TODO @@ -1 +1,3 @@ -AMD CPU temperature sensor type is shown as Intel temperature sensor. +- AMD CPU temperature sensor type is shown as Intel temperature sensor. +- Add support for IT8655E (Asus Prime B350m-A) +- Fix temperature sensor type for IT8665E and IT8686E -- 2.39.5
