21 * force_start: bool Enables the monitoring of voltage, fan and temp inputs
22 and PWM output control functions. Using this parameter
23 shouldn't be required since the BIOS usually takes care

30 Note that there is no need to use this parameter if the driver loads without
31 complaining. The driver will say so if it is necessary.
37 This driver implements support for the hardware monitoring capabilities of the
38 SMSC DME1737 and Asus A8000 (which are the same) and SMSC SCH311x Super-I/O
39 chips. These chips feature monitoring of 3 temp sensors temp[1-3] (2 remote
40 diodes and 1 internal), 7 voltages in[0-6] (6 external and 1 internal) and up
41 to 6 fan speeds fan[1-6]. Additionally, the chips implement up to 5 PWM
42 outputs pwm[1-3,5-6] for controlling fan speeds both manually and
45 For the DME1737 and A8000, fan[1-2] and pwm[1-2] are always present. Fan[3-6]
46 and pwm[3,5-6] are optional features and their availability depends on the
47 configuration of the chip. The driver will detect which features are present
48 during initialization and create the sysfs attributes accordingly.
50 For the SCH311x, fan[1-3] and pwm[1-3] are always present and fan[4-6] and
53 The hardware monitoring features of the DME1737 and A8000 are only accessible
54 via SMBus, while the SCH311x only provides access via the ISA bus. The driver
55 will therefore register itself as an I2C client driver if it detects a DME1737
56 or A8000 and as a platform driver if it detects a SCH311x chip.
62 The voltage inputs are sampled with 12-bit resolution and have internal
63 scaling resistors. The values returned by the driver therefore reflect true
64 millivolts and don't need scaling. The voltage inputs are mapped as follows
65 (the last column indicates the input ranges):
67 in0: +5VTR (+5V standby) 0V - 6.64V
68 in1: Vccp (processor core) 0V - 3V
69 in2: VCC (internal +3.3V) 0V - 4.38V
72 in5: VTR (+3.3V standby) 0V - 4.38V
73 in6: Vbat (+3.0V) 0V - 4.38V
75 Each voltage input has associated min and max limits which trigger an alarm
79 Temperature Monitoring
80 ----------------------
82 Temperatures are measured with 12-bit resolution and reported in millidegree
83 Celsius. The chip also features offsets for all 3 temperature inputs which -
84 when programmed - get added to the input readings. The chip does all the
85 scaling by itself and the driver therefore reports true temperatures that don't
86 need any user-space adjustments. The temperature inputs are mapped as follows
87 (the last column indicates the input ranges):
89 temp1: Remote diode 1 (3904 type) temperature -127C - +127C
90 temp2: DME1737 internal temperature -127C - +127C
91 temp3: Remote diode 2 (3904 type) temperature -127C - +127C
93 Each temperature input has associated min and max limits which trigger an alarm
94 when crossed. Additionally, each temperature input has a fault attribute that
95 returns 1 when a faulty diode or an unconnected input is detected and 0
102 Fan RPMs are measured with 16-bit resolution. The chip provides inputs for 6
103 fan tachometers. All 6 inputs have an associated min limit which triggers an
104 alarm when crossed. Fan inputs 1-4 provide type attributes that need to be set
105 to the number of pulses per fan revolution that the connected tachometer
106 generates. Supported values are 1, 2, and 4. Fan inputs 5-6 only support fans
107 that generate 2 pulses per revolution. Fan inputs 5-6 also provide a max
108 attribute that needs to be set to the maximum attainable RPM (fan at 100% duty-
109 cycle) of the input. The chip adjusts the sampling rate based on this value.
115 This chip features 5 PWM outputs. PWM outputs 1-3 are associated with fan
116 inputs 1-3 and PWM outputs 5-6 are associated with fan inputs 5-6. PWM outputs
117 1-3 can be configured to operate either in manual or automatic mode by setting
118 the appropriate enable attribute accordingly. PWM outputs 5-6 can only operate
119 in manual mode, their enable attributes are therefore read-only. When set to
120 manual mode, the fan speed is set by writing the duty-cycle value to the
121 appropriate PWM attribute. In automatic mode, the PWM attribute returns the
122 current duty-cycle as set by the fan controller in the chip. All PWM outputs
123 support the setting of the output frequency via the freq attribute.
125 In automatic mode, the chip supports the setting of the PWM ramp rate which
126 defines how fast the PWM output is adjusting to changes of the associated
127 temperature input. Associating PWM outputs to temperature inputs is done via
128 temperature zones. The chip features 3 zones whose assignments to temperature
129 inputs is static and determined during initialization. These assignments can
130 be retrieved via the zone[1-3]_auto_channels_temp attributes. Each PWM output
131 is assigned to one (or hottest of multiple) temperature zone(s) through the
132 pwm[1-3]_auto_channels_zone attributes. Each PWM output has 3 distinct output
133 duty-cycles: full, low, and min. Full is internally hard-wired to 255 (100%)
134 and low and min can be programmed via pwm[1-3]_auto_point1_pwm and
135 pwm[1-3]_auto_pwm_min, respectively. The thermal thresholds of the zones are
136 programmed via zone[1-3]_auto_point[1-3]_temp and
137 zone[1-3]_auto_point1_temp_hyst:
139 pwm[1-3]_auto_point2_pwm full-speed duty-cycle (255, i.e., 100%)
140 pwm[1-3]_auto_point1_pwm low-speed duty-cycle
141 pwm[1-3]_auto_pwm_min min-speed duty-cycle
143 zone[1-3]_auto_point3_temp full-speed temp (all outputs)
144 zone[1-3]_auto_point2_temp full-speed temp
145 zone[1-3]_auto_point1_temp low-speed temp
146 zone[1-3]_auto_point1_temp_hyst min-speed temp
148 The chip adjusts the output duty-cycle linearly in the range of auto_point1_pwm
149 to auto_point2_pwm if the temperature of the associated zone is between
150 auto_point1_temp and auto_point2_temp. If the temperature drops below the
151 auto_point1_temp_hyst value, the output duty-cycle is set to the auto_pwm_min
152 value which only supports two values: 0 or auto_point1_pwm. That means that the
153 fan either turns completely off or keeps spinning with the low-speed
154 duty-cycle. If any of the temperatures rise above the auto_point3_temp value,
155 all PWM outputs are set to 100% duty-cycle.
157 Following is another representation of how the chip sets the output duty-cycle
158 based on the temperature of the associated thermal zone:
160 Duty-Cycle Duty-Cycle
161 Temperature Rising Temp Falling Temp
162 ----------- ----------- ------------
163 full-speed full-speed full-speed
165 < linearly adjusted duty-cycle >
167 low-speed low-speed low-speed
169 min-speed min-speed min-speed
