The HECI interface would allow lm_sensors developers to grab the

From 2005(?)-2008 there was some chatter about supporting it but it never
seemed to happen, is there any eventual planned support for supporting
Intel's HECI interface or if the user wants to see the
temperatures/voltages just buy a different motherboard with an ITE I/O
controller?

I have a couple DG965WH boards and it would be nice to see the
temperature of the chipset etc without having to reboot into the BIOS.

Hi Justin,

I am not up to date on the progress in this area, but perhaps this site
(http://www.openamt.org/) has what you are looking for?

Yeah that is the site-- however, will it ever get merged? I have not
heard anything about it for a year or so.

Nope, the heci is just a controller, but we need a way to tell that
controller to show us the temperature data.
But intel hasn't released the QST sdk, and probably never will.

Sad,


Well I found this interesting thread about :

http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/manageability-software-development/topic/54851/

It looks like the QST SDK already exists and is planned to be released..

I volunteer to test any patches if/when they are created after the SDK is released.

Justin.
