Hello

For get SPD earle I used utility decode-dimms that use kernel module eeprom. But now it does not work, as I understand it because module eeprom in Sandy Bridge with integrated memory controller no longer communicates with EEPROM.

I was hoping that getting SPD will be support later but support is still not there.

May be this question is not for topic of this forum, but I do not know where to properly place the question.

Thanks

This is indeed off-topic here, as this has nothing to do with hardware monitoring.

Try the linux-i2c discussion list instead:

The i2c-imc driver (google for it or look in luto/linux.git on git.kernel.org) should be able to do it on Sandy Bridge LGA2011. I hope to update the driver for Ivy Bridge soon.

Merging the driver is currently stalled due to the fact that no one has verified that running the driver is safe. It seems to be okay, but I'm hoping to get some kind of real information from Intel soon.
