ASM58 (Asus Mozart-2) Linux 3.0 kernel patch

Hi everyone, long time since last post...

Well I have been doing some autumn cleaning and discovered my home server did not have sensors installed. Upon discovering it has a barely supported chipset, that does get detected by the sensors-detect script, but there is actually no driver included.


The sensor is found on the following Asus mainboards:
  • P4B533-VM
  • P4S333 (in conjunction with another asus chip?)
  • P4S333-VM
  • Terminator P4
I have googled a bit and (All raise hands and give praise to the GNU) discovered that somenoe - namely Michael Loßin has once upon a time written the driver code for linux kernel 2.6.x tree. And he deserves the gratitude for the work he put in. I have only modified his code, so that it compiles cleanely and works on the Linux kernel 3.0 tree.

The patch is available here.

Works like a charm with lm_sensors - here is the output:

asm58-i2c-0-77
Adapter: SiS96x SMBus adapter at 0xe600
in0: +1.79 V

Depth of Field calculator for Nokia n900

Well I changed my phone a while ago and have recently needed the Depth of field calculator and it was not there. So I wrote one... I have already written a similar one in Python for S60, so the logic remains the same, I just had to redo the GUI part, which uses Python with GTK and Hildon modules.
This is the screenshot of the results window:

Perl script to convert n900 pwsafe export into KeePassX XML

I wanted to have an option of exporting data from pwsafe on my Nokia n900, so I wrote this script. All you have to do is export the file on N900. Transfer it as securely as possible to your computer and run the script

./pwsafe2keepassx_n900.pl < PWsafe_n900_txt_output_file > out_keepassx.xml


The script can be downloaded here.

Drop me a comment if you like it or if you have any comment of how to improve it further.
