Using this parameter + shouldn't be required since the BIOS usually takes care + of this. + +Note that there is no need to use this parameter if the driver loads without +complaining. The driver will say so if it is necessary. + + +Description +----------- + +This driver implements support for the hardware monitoring capabilities of the +SMSC DME1737 and Asus A8000 (which are the same) Super-I/O chips. This chip +features monitoring of 3 temp sensors temp[1-3] (2 remote diodes and 1 +internal), 7 voltages in[0-6] (6 external and 1 internal) and 6 fan speeds +fan[1-6]. Additionally, the chip implements 5 PWM outputs pwm[1-3,5-6] for +controlling fan speeds both manually and automatically. + +Fan[3-6] and pwm[3,5-6] are optional features and their availability is +dependent on the configuration of the chip. The driver will detect which +features are present during initialization and create the sysfs attributes +accordingly. + + +Voltage Monitoring +------------------ + +The voltage inputs are sampled with 12-bit resolution and have internal +scaling resistors. The values returned by the driver therefore reflect true +millivolts and don't need scaling. The voltage inputs are mapped as follows +(the last column indicates the input ranges): + + in0: +5VTR (+5V standby) 0V - 6.64V + in1: Vccp (processor core) 0V - 3V + in2: VCC (internal +3.3V) 0V - 4.38V + in3: +5V 0V - 6.64V + in4: +12V 0V - 16V + in5: VTR (+3.3V standby) 0V - 4.38V + in6: Vbat (+3.0V) 0V - 4.38V + +Each voltage input has associated min and max limits which trigger an alarm +when crossed. + + +Temperature Monitoring +---------------------- + +Temperatures are measured with 12-bit resolution and reported in millidegree +Celsius. The chip also features offsets for all 3 temperature inputs which - +when programmed - get added to the input readings. The chip does all the +scaling by itself and the driver therefore reports true temperatures that don't +need any user-space adjustments. The temperature inputs are mapped as follows +(the last column indicates the input ranges): + + temp1: Remote diode 1 (3904 type) temperature -127C - +127C + temp2: DME1737 internal temperature -127C - +127C + temp3: Remote diode 2 (3904 type) temperature -127C - +127C + +Each temperature input has associated min and max limits which trigger an alarm +when crossed. Additionally, each temperature input has a fault attribute that +returns 1 when a faulty diode or an unconnected input is detected and 0 +otherwise. + + +Fan Monitoring +-------------- + +Fan RPMs are measured with 16-bit resolution. The chip provides inputs for 6 +fan tachometers. All 6 inputs have an associated min limit which triggers an +alarm when crossed. Fan inputs 1-4 provide type attributes that need to be set +to the number of pulses per fan revolution that the connected tachometer +generates. Supported values are 1, 2, and 4. Fan inputs 5-6 only support fans +that generate 2 pulses per revolution. Fan inputs 5-6 also provide a max +attribute that needs to be set to the maximum attainable RPM (fan at 100% duty- +cycle) of the input. The chip adjusts the sampling rate based on this value. + + +PWM Output Control +------------------ + +This chip features 5 PWM outputs. PWM outputs 1-3 are associated with fan +inputs 1-3 and PWM outputs 5-6 are associated with fan inputs 5-6. PWM outputs +1-3 can be configured to operate either in manual or automatic mode by setting +the appropriate enable attribute accordingly. PWM outputs 5-6 can only operate +in manual mode, their enable attributes are therefore read-only. When set to +manual mode, the fan speed is set by writing the duty-cycle value to the +appropriate PWM attribute. In automatic mode, the PWM attribute returns the +current duty-cycle as set by the fan controller in the chip. All PWM outputs +support the setting of the output frequency via the freq attribute. + +In automatic mode, the chip supports the setting of the PWM ramp rate which +defines how fast the PWM output is adjusting to changes of the associated +temperature input. Associating PWM outputs to temperature inputs is done via +temperature zones. The chip features 3 zones whose assignments to temperature +inputs is static and determined during initialization. These assignments can +be retrieved via the zone[1-3]_auto_channels_temp attributes. Each PWM output +is assigned to one (or hottest of multiple) temperature zone(s) through the +pwm[1-3]_auto_channels_zone attributes. Each PWM output has 3 distinct output +duty-cycles: full, low, and min. Full is internally hard-wired to 255 (100%) +and low and min can be programmed via pwm[1-3]_auto_point1_pwm and +pwm[1-3]_auto_pwm_min, respectively. The thermal thresholds of the zones are +programmed via zone[1-3]_auto_point[1-3]_temp and +zone[1-3]_auto_point1_temp_hyst: + + pwm[1-3]_auto_point2_pwm full-speed duty-cycle (255, i.e., 100%) + pwm[1-3]_auto_point1_pwm low-speed duty-cycle + pwm[1-3]_auto_pwm_min min-speed duty-cycle + + zone[1-3]_auto_point3_temp full-speed temp (all outputs) + zone[1-3]_auto_point2_temp full-speed temp + zone[1-3]_auto_point1_temp low-speed temp + zone[1-3]_auto_point1_temp_hyst min-speed temp + +The chip adjusts the output duty-cycle linearly in the range of auto_point1_pwm +to auto_point2_pwm if the temperature of the associated zone is between +auto_point1_temp and auto_point2_temp. If the temperature drops below the +auto_point1_temp_hyst value, the output duty-cycle is set to the auto_pwm_min +value which only supports two values: 0 or auto_point1_pwm. That means that the +fan either turns completely off or keeps spinning with the low-speed +duty-cycle. If any of the temperatures rise above the auto_point3_temp value, +all PWM outputs are set to 100% duty-cycle. + +Following is another representation of how the chip sets the output duty-cycle +based on the temperature of the associated thermal zone: + + Duty-Cycle Duty-Cycle + Temperature Rising Temp Falling Temp + ----------- ----------- ------------ + full-speed full-speed full-speed + + < linearly adjusted duty-cycle > + + low-speed low-speed low-speed + min-speed low-speed + min-speed min-speed min-speed + min-speed min-speed + + +Sysfs Attributes +---------------- + +Following is a list of all sysfs attributes that the driver provides, their +permissions and a short description: + +Name Perm Description +---- ---- ----------- +cpu0_vid RO CPU core reference voltage in + millivolts. +vrm RW Voltage regulator module version + number. + +in[0-6]_input RO Measured voltage in millivolts. +in[0-6]_min RW Low limit for voltage input. +in[0-6]_max RW High limit for voltage input. +in[0-6]_alarm RO Voltage input alarm.
