[PATCH] I2C: Move hwmon drivers (3/3)
Part 3: Move the drivers documentation, plus two general documentation
files.
Note that the patch "adds trailing whitespace", because it does move the
files as-is, and some files happen to have trailing whitespace.

They are often connected through an I2C bus, but some -are also connected directly through the ISA bus. - -The kernel drivers make the data from the sensor chips available in the /sys -virtual filesystem. Userspace tools are then used to display or set or the -data in a more friendly manner. - -Lm-sensors ----------- - -Core set of utilites that will allow you to obtain health information, -setup monitoring limits etc. You can get them on their homepage -http://www.lm-sensors.nu/ or as a package from your Linux distribution. - -If from website: -Get lmsensors from project web site. Please note, you need only userspace -part, so compile with "make user_install" target. - -General hints to get things working: - -0) get lm-sensors userspace utils -1) compile all drivers in I2C section as modules in your kernel -2) run sensors-detect script, it will tell you what modules you need to load. -3) load them and run "sensors" command, you should see some results. -4) fix sensors.conf, labels, limits, fan divisors -5) if any more problems consult FAQ, or documentation - -Other utilites --------------- - -If you want some graphical indicators of system health look for applications -like: gkrellm, ksensors, xsensors, wmtemp, wmsensors, wmgtemp, ksysguardd, -hardware-monitor - -If you are server administrator you can try snmpd or mrtgutils. |
