💖 ICHSMB(4) 💖

okay so first things first, the manual name is ichsmb and it lives in the Kernel Interfaces Manual section (section 4, the kernel-adjacent one, iykyk). This whole page is about the Intel ICH SMBus controller driver and honestly it's short and sweet, like a little snack. 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

ichsmb — the Intel ICH SMBus controller driver. that's it, that's the vibe. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bestie you gotta have these in your kernel config, no cap:

device pci
device smbus
device smb
device ichsmb

like, all four. not me double-checking that you didn't skip one 🙈

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so the ichsmb driver is the one that provides smbus(4) support for the SMBus controller logical device. and where does that live? inside all Intel motherboard chipsets starting from 82801AA (that's the ICH one, periodt). highkey iconic that it goes all the way back to the original ICH 💅
