5 Superiotool is a user-space utility which can
7 - detect which Super I/O chip is soldered onto your mainboard,
9 - at which configuration port it's located (usually 0x2e or 0x4e), and
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).
14 It is mainly used for LinuxBIOS development purposes (see linuxbios.org
15 for details on LinuxBIOS), but it may also be useful for other things.
21 $ svn co svn://linuxbios.org/repos/trunk/util/superiotool
31 $ superiotool [-d] [-D] [-V] [-v] [-h]
33 -d | --dump Dump Super I/O registers
34 -D | --dump-readable Dump Super I/O registers in human-readable format
35 -V | --verbose Verbose mode
36 -v | --version Show the superiotool version
37 -h | --help Show a short help text
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.
42 Typical usage of superiotool:
44 - Probe/detect the Super I/O in your mainboard:
48 - Register dump as table of hex-values of the Super I/O (if detected):
52 - Detailed register dump in human-readable format:

60 Please see http://linuxbios.org/Superiotool#Supported_devices.
62 There's also a collection of sample register dumps from various Super I/O
63 chips on that page. Please send further register dumps (either from a
64 proprietary BIOS and/or from LinuxBIOS) to the LinuxBIOS mailing list
65 (http://linuxbios.org/Mailinglist).
