Module Parameters
-----------------
* force_start: bool Enables the monitoring of voltage, fan and temp inputs
and PWM output control functions. 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) and SMSC SCH311x Super-I/O
chips. These chips feature 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 up
to 6 fan speeds fan[1-6]. Additionally, the chips implement up to 5 PWM
outputs pwm[1-3,5-6] for controlling fan speeds both manually and
automatically.
For the DME1737 and A8000, fan[1-2] and pwm[1-2] are always present. Fan[3-6]
and pwm[3,5-6] are optional features and their availability depends on the
configuration of the chip. The driver will detect which features are present
during initialization and create the sysfs attributes accordingly.
For the SCH311x, fan[1-3] and pwm[1-3] are always present and fan[4-6] and
pwm[5-6] don't exist.
The hardware monitoring features of the DME1737 and A8000 are only accessible
via SMBus, while the SCH311x only provides access via the ISA bus. The driver
will therefore register itself as an I2C client driver if it detects a DME1737
or A8000 and as a platform driver if it detects a SCH311x chip.
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
