To my knowledge, Nuvoton will send you the datasheet for your Super I/O chip if you contact them. Please try that first. > Can I get basic functionality without the Super-IO? It depends. Normally, a similar chip is taken which is often compatible for at least serial console output. > Can I reverse-engineer support for it? Sure you can. But that is probably quiet hard compared to requesting the datasheet. You can analyze the vendor firmware and find out how the Super I/O is initialized. Another way is to look if the support for your Super I/O exists in the Linux kernel sources (lmsensors) to find out more about it. Good luck with implementing support for your device!
