Thanks for your encouragement! *** Hi all, After another 2 days I now have a working SCMI implementation on P3B-F and can get readings from lm-sensors using i2c-scmi, with all relevant vendor code connected to SCMI. I spent another few hours refactoring so that it can be more easily extended to other southbridges. At this point my use case is solved and I can submit and updated patch. Now that I think more about it... SCMI is sufficient for getting hwmon working on Linux, but for Windows I don't know if eg. Speedfan can use it, or if it's even necessary. The next step in the evolution of ACPI-based hardware monitoring on ASUS mainboards would be ATK0110. It's an all-ACPI wrapper around whatever hardware monitor chip is on the actual board. I could figure out what methods I need to implement, and if I can make SCMI work, I can make ATK0110 work too, but is it worth the effort? Pros: - Forget i2c-scmi and all the i2c crap, just load asus_atk0110 and go - I can debug my work by overriding DSDT in Linux instead of flashing - Possibility of wider adoption (use asus-atk0110 for all corebooted [asus] boards) Cons: - My use case has been solved already - May have to do scaling math that I don't fully understand. As it is, some values (eg. 12V rail reading) don't make sense - More hours, more grey hair falling off (:-P - Who's using this board anyway?
