Description-en: Super I/O detection tool
Superiotool is a user-space utility which can
.
- detect which Super I/O chip is soldered onto your mainboard,
.
- at which configuration port it's located (usually 0x2e or 0x4e), and
.
- dump all register contents of the Super I/O chip, together with the
default values as per datasheet (to make comparing the values easy).
.
It is mainly used for coreboot (previously known as LinuxBIOS) development
purposes (see coreboot.org for details on coreboot), but it may also be
useful for other things.
