Adding support for a new Super I/O chip is usually not significantly hard once you have obtained the datasheet for your target chip. Herein we shall outline the steps usally taken for a bringup. | Adding support for a new Super I/O chip is usually not significantly hard once you have obtained the datasheet for your target chip.
