| 5 | Superiotool is a user-space utility which can |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - detect which Super I/O chip is soldered onto your mainboard, |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - at which configuration port it's located (usually 0x2e or 0x4e), and |
| 10 | |
| 11 | - dump all register contents of the Super I/O chip, together with the |
| 12 | default values as per datasheet (to make comparing the values easy). |
| 13 | |
| 14 | It is mainly used for LinuxBIOS development purposes (see linuxbios.org |
| 15 | for details on LinuxBIOS), but it may also be useful for other things. |

| 38 | Per default (no options) superiotool will just probe for a Super I/O |
| 39 | and print its vendor, name, ID, version, and config port. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Typical usage of superiotool: |
| 42 | |
| 43 | - Probe/detect the Super I/O in your mainboard: |
| 44 | |
| 45 | $ superiotool |
| 46 | |
| 47 | - Detailed register dump of the Super I/O (if detected): |
| 48 | |
| 49 | $ superiotool -d |
