Yes, of course, I will include the information in v3.

Good point, thanks for the hint. I will remove it from v3.

According to i2c.h the return type for i2c_smbus_read_word_swapped() is
s32, which is why I modified it here. But it could be changed back if you
think it is better to leave it as an int.

Ah, ok. Good to know. Please leave it anyway, reason being that there is no real
reason to change it. Effectively those are just whitespace changes (unlike the rest,
which is part bug fix, part cleanup).

Here is an example register dump:

I meant the output of i2cdump (something like "i2cdump -y -f <bus> <i2c-address> w").


The register map wraps at 0x0F, so I only sent you the first 16 bytes. But the fully expanded form is:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
00: 00 00 00 00 01 90 07 d0 2c cd 7d 80 7c 29 20 00
10: 00 00 00 00 01 90 07 d0 2c cd 7d 80 7c 29 20 00

30: 00 00 00 00 01 90 07 d0 2c cd 7d 80 7c 29 20 00
40: 00 00 00 00 01 90 07 d0 2c cd 7d 80 7c 29 20 00

Sorry, I wasn't clear. The chip uses 16-bit registers, so the
"w" in the command would be important to report the entire
register content, not just the first 8 bit of each register.

Thanks,
Guenter


Cheers,

00 00 00 00
01 90 07 d0
2c cd 7d 80
7c 29 20 00

The expected values in this case are:

in0_input 5000
in1_input 610
in2_input 3500
in3_input -195
in4_input -299
temp1_input 25000
temp2_input 125000
temp3_input -40000
curr1_input 38840
curr2_input -12428

Testing with lltc,mode set to <5>, <6> and <7> should give you all
measurements.
