Dear Guenter,


Thank you for your support.

00058a6 eeprom: Add basic spd5118 support
a0e5865 i2cdetect: only use "newer" I2C_FUNC_* flags if they exist

but reading eeprom fails:

$ sudo ./eeprom/decode-dimms

decode-dimms does not need sudo, but that should not make a difference.

Cannot read /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/spd5118/0-0050/eeprom at ./eeprom/decode-dimms line 2465.

Well, it _is_ a hack ;-), but that specific operation should not fail.

Please try the following:

ls -l /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/spd5118/0-0050/eeprom
cp /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/spd5118/0-0050/eeprom /tmp
od -t x1 /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/spd5118/0-0050/eeprom

All those should work, and the size of /tmp/eeprom should be
1024 bytes. The output of i2cdump should start with something like

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f 0123456789abcdef
00: 51 18 0a 86 32 03 32 00 00 00 00 07 ff 7f 00 00 Q???2?2......?..

and with

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f 0123456789abcdef
00: 51 18 0a 86 32 03 32 00 00 00 00 00 ff 7f 00 00 Q???2?2......?..

after executing the "sensors" command.

Hopefully, I didn’t do something silly, that it does not work on my system yet. `sensors` is able to read stuff:

Other than that, I can see that your system is an Intel system,
meaning the i2c controller would be i801, not piix4. I wonder
if that makes a difference. Has anyone else seeing this tested
eeprom access with i801 (or any other controller besides piix4),
by any chance?

Sorry, I only have Intel systems with DDR5 RAM at disposal.


Kind regards,

Paul
