On different operation system, have different method to read/write I/O port. I
know WinIO on windows, IoWrite8/16/32 on Linux.
There is a good open source software “Open Hardware Monitor”, which develop by
C# language. It support almost all the motherboard.

page 275
19.2 ACCESS CHANNELS
There are two different channels to set up/access the GPIO ports. The first one is the indirect access via register
2E/2F (4E/4F, it depends by HEFRAS trapping). The registers can be read / written only when the respective
logical device ID and port number are selected.
known that rigister index is 0x2E, and data Input/Output port is 0x2F
On page 54
To program the NCT6776F / NCT6776D configuration registers, the following configuration procedures must be
followed in sequence:
(1). Enter the Extended Function Mode.
(2). Configure the configuration registers.
(3). Exit the Extended Function Mode.
7.1.1 Enter the Extended Function Mode
To place the chip into the Extended Function Mode, two successive writes of 0x87 must be applied to Extended
Function Enable Registers (EFERs, i.e. 2Eh or 4Eh).
7.1.2 Configure the Configuration Registers
The chip selects the Logical Device and activates the desired Logical Devices through Extended Function Index
Register (EFIR) and Extended Function Data Register (EFDR). The EFIR is located at the same address as the
EFER, and the EFDR is located at address (EFIR+1).
First, write the Logical Device Number (i.e. 0x07) to the EFIR and then write the number of the desired Logical
Device to the EFDR. If accessing the Chip (Global) Control Registers, this step is not required.
Secondly, write the address of the desired configuration register within the Logical Device to the EFIR and then
write (or read) the desired configuration register through the EFDR.
7.1.3 Exit the Extended Function Mode
To exit the Extended Function Mode, writing 0xAA to the EFER is required. Once the chip exits the Extended
Function Mode, it is in the normal running mode and is ready to enter the configuration mode.
Software Programming Example
The following example is written in Intel 8086 assembly language. It assumes that the EFER is located at 2Eh, so
the EFIR is located at 2Eh and the EFDR is located at 2Fh. If the HEFRAS (CR[26h] bit 6 showing the value of
the strap pin at power on) is set, 2Eh can be directly replaced by 4Eh and 2Fh replaced by 4Fh.
This example programs the configuration register F0h (clock source) of logical device 1 (UART A) to the value of
3Ch (24MHz). First, one must enter the Extended Function Mode, then setting the Logical Device Number (Index
07h) to 01h. Then program index F0h to 3Ch. Finally, exit the Extended Function Mode.

The Open Hardware Monitor is a free open source software that monitors
temperature sensors, fan speeds, voltages, load and clock speeds of a computer.
As below, introduct how to use VC++ to monitor HW status on windows:
1). modify computer.cs，add some interface like GetFanSpeed(). if have problem , look report function .
2). set the project properity to output class library.
3). Reference VC++ use C# DLL
1.1 Analyze open-hardware-monitorUse Winbond W83627DHG-P chip as example.

How to get value:call ReadByte to get value:
byte id = ReadByte(CHIP_ID_REGISTER);
byte revision = ReadByte(CHIP_REVISION_REGISTER);
look at function ReadByte:
private byte ReadByte(byte register) {
Ring0.WriteIoPort(registerPort, register);
return Ring0.ReadIoPort(valuePort);
}
first, write register value to registerPort;
second, read value from valueport.
