I am maintaining the i2c subsystem of the Linux kernel. Greg Kroah-Hartman was the previous maintainer. Hardware monitoring chips are often connected to this subsystem, so this is a logical follow-up of my work on the LM Sensors project.
These days, I am the main actor of the LM Sensors project. This project aims at providing essential tools for monitoring the hardware health of Linux systems.
This package contains an heterogeneous set of I2C tools for Linux: bus probing tool, chip dumper, register-level access helpers, EEPROM decoding scripts, and more. These tools were originally part of the lm-sensors package but were finally split into their own package for convenience.
Dmidecode reports information about your system's hardware as described in the BIOS according to the SMBIOS/DMI standard. This information typically includes system manufacturer, model name, serial number, BIOS version, asset tag, and a lot of other details of varying level of interest and reliability, depending on the manufacturer. This will often include usage status for the CPU sockets, expansion slots and memory module slots, and the list of I/O ports.
I have been maintaining dmidecode for over 6 years.
I took minor participations to many other open-source projects.
