-f | Enable flat address space mode. |
-y | Disable interactive mode. By default, isadump will wait for a confirmation from the user before messing with the ISA bus. When this flag is used, it will perform the operation directly. This is mainly meant to be used in scripts. |
-k V1,V2... | |
Specify a comma-separated list of bytes to send as the key sequence to enter
the chip configuration mode. Most Super-I/O chips need this.
Known key sequences are: 0x87,0x01,0x55,0x55 for ITE, 0x55 for SMSC, 0x87,0x87
for Winbond and VIA, none needed for National Semiconductor.

For Super-I/O chips, address register is typically at 0x2E with data register at 0x2F.
The bank and bankreg parameters are useful on the Winbond chips as well as on Super-I/O chips. bank is an integer between 0 and 31, and bankreg is an integer between 0x00 and 0xFF (default value: 0x4E for Winbond chips, 0x07 for Super-I/O chips). The W83781D datasheet has more information on bank selection.
The bank and bankreg parameters are useful on the National Semiconductor PC87365 and PC87366 Super-I/O chips. bank is an integer between 0 and 31, and bankreg is an integer between 0x00 and 0xFF (default value: 0x09; must fit in the specified range). See the PC87365 datasheet for more information on bank selection.
If a bank is specified, the original value is restored before isadump exits.
Dumping Super-I/O chips is typically a two-step process. First, you will have to access the main Super-I/O address using a command like: isadump 0x2e 0x2f 0x09. This will select logical device 9 (correct value depend on the chip). At 0x60 you will find the logical device address word, for example "ec c0". Then you can use a command like: isadump -f 0xecc0 16. This will dump the logical device registers. The correct range depends on the chip.
