| The following specification describes the SMSC LPC47B397-NC sensor chip |
| (for which there is no public datasheet available). This document was |
| provided by Craig Kelly (In-Store Broadcast Network) and edited/corrected |

| Methods for detecting the HP SIO and reading the thermal data on a dc7100. |
| |
| The thermal information on the dc7100 is contained in the SIO Hardware Monitor |
| (HWM). The information is accessed through an index/data pair. The index/data |
| pair is located at the HWM Base Address + 0 and the HWM Base Address + 1. The |
| HWM Base address can be obtained from Logical Device 8, registers 0x60 (MSB) |
| and 0x61 (LSB). Currently we are using 0x480 for the HWM Base Address and |
| 0x480 and 0x481 for the index/data pair. |
| |
| Reading temperature information. |
| The temperature information is located in the following registers: |
| Temp1 0x25 (Currently, this reflects the CPU temp on all systems). |
| Temp2 0x26 |
| Temp3 0x27 |
| Temp4 0x80 |
| |
| Programming Example |
| The following is an example of how to read the HWM temperature registers: |
| MOV DX,480H |
| MOV AX,25H |
| OUT DX,AL |
| MOV DX,481H |
| IN AL,DX |
| |
| AL contains the data in hex, the temperature in Celsius is the decimal |
| equivalent. |
| |
| Ex: If AL contains 0x2A, the temperature is 42 degrees C. |
| |
| Reading tach information. |
| The fan speed information is located in the following registers: |
| LSB MSB |
| Tach1 0x28 0x29 (Currently, this reflects the CPU |
| fan speed on all systems). |
| Tach2 0x2A 0x2B |
| Tach3 0x2C 0x2D |
| Tach4 0x2E 0x2F |
| |
| Important!!! |
| Reading the tach LSB locks the tach MSB. |
| The LSB Must be read first. |
| |
| How to convert the tach reading to RPM. |
| The tach reading (TCount) is given by: (Tach MSB * 256) + (Tach LSB) |
| The SIO counts the number of 90kHz (11.111us) pulses per revolution. |
| RPM = 60/(TCount * 11.111us) |
| |
| Example: |
| Reg 0x28 = 0x9B |
| Reg 0x29 = 0x08 |
| |
| TCount = 0x89B = 2203 |
| |
| RPM = 60 / (2203 * 11.11111 E-6) = 2451 RPM |
| |
| Obtaining the SIO version. |
| |
| CONFIGURATION SEQUENCE |
| To program the configuration registers, the following sequence must be followed: |
| 1. Enter Configuration Mode |
| 2. Configure the Configuration Registers |
| 3. Exit Configuration Mode. |
| |
| Enter Configuration Mode |
| To place the chip into the Configuration State The config key (0x55) is written |
| to the CONFIG PORT (0x2E). |
| |
| Configuration Mode |
| In configuration mode, the INDEX PORT is located at the CONFIG PORT address and |
| the DATA PORT is at INDEX PORT address + 1. |
| |
| The desired configuration registers are accessed in two steps: |
| a. Write the index of the Logical Device Number Configuration Register |
| (i.e., 0x07) to the INDEX PORT and then write the number of the |
| desired logical device to the DATA PORT. |
| |
| b. Write the address of the desired configuration register within the |
| logical device to the INDEX PORT and then write or read the config- |
| uration register through the DATA PORT. |
| |
| Note: If accessing the Global Configuration Registers, step (a) is not required. |
| |
| Exit Configuration Mode |
| To exit the Configuration State the write 0xAA to the CONFIG PORT (0x2E). |
| The chip returns to the RUN State. (This is important). |
| |
| Programming Example |
| The following is an example of how to read the SIO Device ID located at 0x20 |
| |
| ; ENTER CONFIGURATION MODE |
| MOV DX,02EH |
| MOV AX,055H |
| OUT DX,AL |
| ; GLOBAL CONFIGURATION REGISTER |
| MOV DX,02EH |
| MOV AL,20H |
| OUT DX,AL |
| ; READ THE DATA |
| MOV DX,02FH |
| IN AL,DX |
| ; EXIT CONFIGURATION MODE |
| MOV DX,02EH |
| MOV AX,0AAH |
| OUT DX,AL |
| |
| The registers of interest for identifying the SIO on the dc7100 are Device ID |
| (0x20) and Device Rev (0x21). |
| |
| The Device ID will read 0X6F |
| The Device Rev currently reads 0x01 |
| |
| Obtaining the HWM Base Address. |
| The following is an example of how to read the HWM Base Address located in |
| Logical Device 8. |
| |
| ; ENTER CONFIGURATION MODE |
| MOV DX,02EH |
| MOV AX,055H |
| OUT DX,AL |
| ; CONFIGURE REGISTER CRE0, |
| ; LOGICAL DEVICE 8 |
| MOV DX,02EH |
| MOV AL,07H |
| OUT DX,AL ;Point to LD# Config Reg |
| MOV DX,02FH |
| MOV AL, 08H |
| OUT DX,AL;Point to Logical Device 8 |
| ; |
| MOV DX,02EH |
| MOV AL,60H |
| OUT DX,AL ; Point to HWM Base Addr MSB |
| MOV DX,02FH |
| IN AL,DX ; Get MSB of HWM Base Addr |
| ; EXIT CONFIGURATION MODE |
| MOV DX,02EH |
| MOV AX,0AAH |
| OUT DX,AL |
