5 .B superiotool \fR[\fB\-dDVvh\fR]
8 is a GPL'd user-space utility which can
10 * detect which Super I/O chip is soldered onto your mainboard,
12 * at which configuration port it's located (usually 0x2e or 0x4e), and
14 * dump all register contents of the Super I/O chip, together with the
15 default values as per datasheet (to make comparing the values easy).
17 It is mainly used for LinuxBIOS development purposes (see linuxbios.org
18 for details on LinuxBIOS), but it may also be useful for other things.
20 If no command line option is specified,
22 merely tries to detect the Super I/O chip.
23 You must use either the
24 .BR "\-d" " or the " "\-D"
25 option to dump the Super I/O register contents.
28 Dump Super I/O registers (if the Super I/O chip is detected and
32 option for this chip).
34 .B "\-D, \-\-dump-readable"
35 Dump Super I/O registers in human-readable format (if the Super I/O chip
39 .B "\-\-dump-readable"
40 option for this chip).
43 Enable verbose mode. This option can be used together with the
44 .BR "\-d" " or " "\-D" " option".
