[-- Attachment #1 --] Just want to mention that Linux lm-sensors 3.0.0 was released today. A few notes that could be interesting for us: ============= Quote =============== * It is now a user-space-only package, it no longer contains kernel drivers. * The i2c tools have been moved to a separate package (surprisingly named i2c-tools). * libsensors' internal version was bumped to 4.0.0, as it has a completely new API we had to increase the .so version. This new library contains no chip-specific knowledge, it assumes that hardware monitoring drivers follow the standard sysfs interface. A very nice benefit of this is that the size of the library has been divided by 4 (down from 222 kB to 55 kB on i386). * Some kernel drivers still don't implement the standard interface for alarms, so alarm flags won't show. ============= Quote =============== So as you can see it's fully userspace non chip-specific library, based on sysfs interface. -- ====================================================================== - Best regards, Nikolay Pavlov. <<<----------------------------------- ====================================================================== [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBHSr1l/2R6KvEYGaIRAvkdAJ9YJ6HShCI3Ur4Y5oCfyGjtGw2TYgCdG/EB 9pBYh7SZ5bkBMIuO4jvBalw= =SeHz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
