  19. Datasheet:
  20. not publicly available, but seems to be similar to the
  21. AMD-8111 SMBus 2.0 adapter.

  26. Description
  27. -----------
  28. i2c-nforce2 is a driver for the SMBuses included in the nVidia nForce2 MCP.
  29. If your ``lspci -v`` listing shows something like the following::
  30. 00:01.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0064 (rev a2)
  31. Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 0c11
  32. Flags: 66Mhz, fast devsel, IRQ 5
  33. I/O ports at c000 [size=32]
  34. Capabilities: <available only to root>
  35. then this driver should support the SMBuses of your motherboard.
  36. Notes
  37. -----
  38. The SMBus adapter in the nForce2 chipset seems to be very similar to the
  39. SMBus 2.0 adapter in the AMD-8111 south bridge. However, I could only get
  40. the driver to work with direct I/O access, which is different to the EC
  41. interface of the AMD-8111. Tested on Asus A7N8X. The ACPI DSDT table of the
  42. Asus A7N8X lists two SMBuses, both of which are supported by this driver.
