Hi
About that driver - so far I've moved the funcionality of the 8dravcore into
the module, which I'll send you probably tomorrow when I'll do the cosmetics.
But now there's the hard part: Since I don't have any clues how to talk to the
chip about clocks, I did it the hard way
Here is what I got:
The program is using in/out commands to write dwords into CF8 and CFC
addresses and my question is - how to translate what I got into linux
i2c_smbus... commands? Since it writes dwords instead of bytes I'm not sure
what they do... And I don't know why it is using CF8 as base address instead
of 5000 as it is in linux (can this be configured or is it using a different
bus??)
The 'conversation' to read the clocks from MB is as follows (I don't know what
is happening before except that it's scanning the bus (I think so at
least...) and it produces a lot of trash in debugs)
data register
80000000 <- CF8 check status?
800000A0 -> CF8 some command? (does 80 in the beginning mean PEC?) what does
A0 mean? register address or a command?
00000000 -> CFC writting data?
80000000 <- CF8 check the status once again?
80000000 <- CF8 check status?
800000A4 -> CF8 some command? (does 80 in the beginning mean PEC?)
004AF71F <- CFC these are FSB settings and I know how to encode/decode them
80000000 -> CF8 don't know...
80000000 <- CF8 check status?
80000378 -> CF8 some command? (does 80 in the beginning mean PEC?)
2001500F <- CFC PCI/AGP settings
80000000 <- CF8 check the status once again?
This is what I got after sniffing all actions after pressing "get clocks"
button and it does read them, but I don't know how to reproduce it using
linux functions because I know little about i2c/smbus protocol. Does anybody
have any idea? Or do you need more info - I know this isn't everything
because there's nothing with the 0x37 chip address so probably it's
initialized somewhere earlier.
Thanks
Martin
