I'm running i386 FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE and I have installed port xmbmon.
mbmon doesn't detect my hw sensoe, even though it's mentioned in the Readme in /usr/local/share/doc/xmbmon.
The Readme mentions the P4T-533C, which is amost identical and uses the same hw monitor chip.
I have tried adding smbus support to my kerenl config, i.e., device smbus # Bus support, required for smb below.
device intpm device alpm device ichsmb device viapm device amdpm
device smb
and even
device iicbus # Bus support, required for ic/iic/iicsmb below. device iicbb
device ic device iic device iicsmb # smb over i2c bridge
to no avail. I even removed /dev/smb0 and /dev/smb1 and then rebuilt xmbmon.
I didn't see any ref to smb devices in dmesg, before or after removing the devices in /dev.
Any ideas?
"*Almost*" identical, means different: a different PCI id is just enough.
Your chipset is probably unsupported by FreeBSD, that's why you get no detection messages in the logs.
Anyway, mbmon interfaces directly to the HW, so it doesn't need (and doesn't take advantage of) any kernel driver. If it doesn't work, then again, it also doesn't support your chip.
You might search for a previous thread in which I gave more details, but I'll doubt you'll get it to work without modifying the software.
You might also try lmmon and/or healthd (these need the drivers).
bye
av.
