LM-Sensors TODO list Contact us if you have comments or wish to help. ------------------------------------------------ I2C CODE CHANGES ================ See TODO in the i2c package. KERNEL MODULES ============== * Add string function in sensors.o * ALL: cleanup_module is void; check also that cleaning up is done properly, now we know that the module will be unloaded whatever we do. * ALL chip drivers: add a readonly insmod option so we don't cause APM/ACPI to go insane. * gl518sm: using iterate==2 causes a tread to be started. this thread remains even after setting iterate==1 and/or removing the gl518sm module * LM78 detection: Tom Webster has proven that the reset bit in the id register can be one (strange!) * maxilife.c: Introduce new insmod variables * maxilife.c: Round REG_TO_VID correctly * icspll.c: Rewrite. The current implementation simply can't work at all. It needs i2c-level access (too bad for SMBus-only adapters). * w83781d: Some features are still unsupported for the W8378[23]. Also, alarms seem to give strange results sometimes, and there are some other minor problems, as indicated by Jonathan Bradshaw * Support 10-bit addresses. At this moment, they are supported nowhere, except in Simon Vogl's i2c modules. * Better general locking, or at least a once-over to check no race-conditions remain. This is part of the SMP-safeness, and can better be done at once. * adm9240: check whether the current voltage computations are correct. Probably not, as they are different from the datasheet specifications. Also check for the supported dallas chip. * lm80: Check how OS alarms work. At page 17 of the sheet, it tells something completely different from the description at page 25. * gl518sm: Assume that new values are close to old values, so start with trying to use a small range near the old values (already partially done) * lm77: Add detection in lm75.c and sensors-detect to distinguish from an lm75. Add support for the two new registers. * Add MTP006F chip: http://www.myson.com/Pcd/MTP006/Mtp006.pdf gfiala@s.netic.de (Guido Fiala) has one on his mainboard * Figure out what chips are appearing at 0x08 and 0x30 LIBRARY ======= * reload does not work (Bison/Flex problem?). * Some library routines are pretty inefficient right now. * Library should be split in more separate files, for better linking behaviour. * Some adm9240 labels start with a digit; change this, it leads to confusing syntax in the conf file (they have to be quoted) PROGRAMS ======== * Sensors program needs to print a + before lm75 temperatures * Sensors program needs to be extended for many new chips OTHERS ====== * Examine watchdog-4.3 or later of meskes@debian.org (Michael Meskes) tsx-11.mit.edu /pub/linux/sources/sbin or sunsite.unc.edu /pub/linux/system/daemons/watchdog
