23Description
24-----------
25
26The ICH (properly known as the 82801AA) and ICH0 (82801AB)
27are Intel chips that are a part of Intel's '810' chipset
28which is designed for Celeron-based PCs.
29
30The ICH contains up to SEVEN separate PCI functions
31in TWO logical PCI devices.
32An output of lspci will show something similar to the following:
33
34  00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2418 (rev 01)
35  00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2410 (rev 01)
36  00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2411 (rev 01)
37  00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2412 (rev 01)
38  00:1f.3 Unknown class [0c05]: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2413 (rev 01)
39
40The SMBus controller is function 3 in device 1f.
41Class 0c05 is SMBus Serial Controller.
42
43The ICH chips are quite similar to Intel's PIIX4 chip,
44at least in the SMBus controller.
