Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Potential issue with smb word operations for
 tmp461 device in tmp401 driver

On my target platform, I do not believe the i2c-tools are completely supported, so i2c-dump is unable to provide me a register dump for the connected tmp461. 

If you have any other suggested methods of achieving the i2c register dump, I could try those as well.

I see on a different email chain that you have already submitted a patch to resolve this tmp461 issue.

Thanks for looking into this issue!
David

Although the other supported devices (i.e. tmp432, etc...) are noted to support 16-bit read operations in their respective datasheets, I see no indications of 16-bit read support in the tmp461 datasheet, which is supported by my inquiry in the TI forums (https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fe2e.ti.com%2Fsupport%2Fsensors-group%2Fsensors%2Ff%2Fsensors-forum%2F1044935%2Ftmp461-linux-driver-support-and-16-bit-temperature-register-reads&amp;data=04%7C01%7Cdavid.wilson%40nasa.gov%7C1d874c8a8c8e471a2c1a08d9902af71b%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C637699336485905564%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=vwnJOlMAKMn752Vw%2F11KA96%2BPwnen22GvuT6fcitMt8%3D&amp;reserved=0).

Thanks a lot for the report. Can you send me a register dump for the tmp461 ?

Thanks,
