No sensors published in EC

Hello, I was looking to try this out for my Prime Z390-A MB, but unfortunately I found the BREC was a dummy function and the README indicated no sensors are being published in the EC.

Is there any other path forward in this scenario? Thanks!

Hey,

as far as I understand, ASUS uses the EC when register space of the Super I/O chip is exhausted. If you do not see all of your sensors/connectors reading in the Super I/O, you can try either 1) to read EC sensors with this drive, copying a configuration for a similar board model, 2) use the ec_sys kernel mode to dump all EC registers, or 3) use the HWINFO Windows software and rely on its output (there should be a section named "ASUS EC" when it finds EC sensors).

Thank you for the quick reply and suggestion, I will give that a shot.

You are welcome, of course. Sorry for broken sentences in my reply (corrected them now).
