| 2 | ======================= |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Supported chips: |
| 5 | * Abit uGuru (Hardware Monitor part only) |
| 6 | Prefix: 'abituguru' |
| 7 | Addresses scanned: ISA 0x0E0 |
| 8 | Datasheet: Not available, this driver is based on reverse engineering. |
| 9 | A "Datasheet" has been written based on the reverse engineering it |
| 10 | should be available in the same dir as this file under the name |
| 11 | abituguru-datasheet. |

| 19 | Module Parameters |
| 20 | ----------------- |
| 21 | |
| 22 | * force: bool Force detection. Note this parameter only causes the |
| 23 | detection to be skipped, if the uGuru can't be read |
| 24 | the module initialization (insmod) will still fail. |
| 25 | * fan_sensors: int Tell the driver how many fan speed sensors there are |
| 26 | on your motherboard. Default: 0 (autodetect). |
| 27 | * pwms: int Tell the driver how many fan speed controls (fan |
| 28 | pwms) your motherboard has. Default: 0 (autodetect). |
| 29 | * verbose: int How verbose should the driver be? (0-3): |
| 30 | 0 normal output |
| 31 | 1 + verbose error reporting |
| 32 | 2 + sensors type probing info\n" |
| 33 | 3 + retryable error reporting |
| 34 | Default: 2 (the driver is still in the testing phase) |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Notice if you need any of the first three options above please insmod the |
| 37 | driver with verbose set to 3 and mail me <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl> the output of: |
| 38 | dmesg | grep abituguru |

| 41 | Description |
| 42 | ----------- |
| 43 | |
| 44 | This driver supports the hardware monitoring features of the Abit uGuru chip |
| 45 | found on Abit uGuru featuring motherboards (most modern Abit motherboards). |
| 46 | |
| 47 | The uGuru chip in reality is a Winbond W83L950D in disguise (despite Abit |
| 48 | claiming it is "a new microprocessor designed by the ABIT Engineers"). |
| 49 | Unfortunatly this doesn't help since the W83L950D is a generic |
| 50 | microcontroller with a custom Abit application running on it. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Despite Abit not releasing any information regarding the uGuru, Olle |
| 53 | Sandberg <ollebull@gmail.com> has managed to reverse engineer the sensor part |
| 54 | of the uGuru. Without his work this driver would not have been possible. |
| 55 | |
| 56 | Known Issues |
| 57 | ------------ |
| 58 | |
| 59 | The voltage and frequency control parts of the Abit uGuru are not supported. |
