| 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) 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 |
