It can monitor up to 9 voltages (counting its own power +source), 3 fans and 3 temperature sensors. + +This chip also has fan controlling features, using either DC or PWM, in +three different modes (one manual, two automatic). The driver doesn't +support these features yet. + +The driver assumes that no more than one chip is present, which seems +reasonable. + + +Voltage Monitoring +------------------ + +Voltages are sampled by an 8-bit ADC with a LSB of 8 mV. The supported +range is thus from 0 to 2.040 V. Voltage values outside of this range +need external resistors. An exception is in0, which is used to monitor +the chip's own power source (+3.3V), and is divided internally by a +factor 2. + +The two LSB of the voltage limit registers are not used (always 0), so +you can only set the limits in steps of 32 mV (before scaling). + +The wirings and resistor values suggested by Fintek are as follow: + + pin expected + name use R1 R2 divider raw val. + +in0 VCC VCC3.3V int. int. 2.00 1.65 V +in1 VIN1 VTT1.2V 10K - 1.00 1.20 V +in2 VIN2 VRAM 100K 100K 2.00 ~1.25 V (1) +in3 VIN3 VCHIPSET 47K 100K 1.47 2.24 V (2) +in4 VIN4 VCC5V 200K 47K 5.25 0.95 V +in5 VIN5 +12V 200K 20K 11.00 1.05 V +in6 VIN6 VCC1.5V 10K - 1.00 1.50 V +in7 VIN7 VCORE 10K - 1.00 ~1.40 V (1) +in8 VIN8 VSB5V 200K 47K 1.00 0.95 V + +(1) Depends on your hardware setup. +(2) Obviously not correct, swapping R1 and R2 would make more sense. + +These values can be used as hints at best, as motherboard manufacturers +are free to use a completely different setup. As a matter of fact, the +Jetway K8M8MS uses a significantly different setup. You will have to +find out documentation about your own motherboard, and edit sensors.conf +accordingly. + +Each voltage measured has associated low and high limits, each of which +triggers an alarm when crossed. + + +Fan Monitoring +-------------- + +Fan rotation speeds are reported as 12-bit values from a gated clock +signal. Speeds down to 366 RPM can be measured. There is no theoretical +high limit, but values over 6000 RPM seem to cause problem. The effective +resolution is much lower than you would expect, the step between different +register values being 10 rather than 1. + +The chip assumes 2 pulse-per-revolution fans. + +An alarm is triggered if the rotation speed drops below a programmable +limit or is too low to be measured. + + +Temperature Monitoring +---------------------- + +Temperatures are reported in degrees Celsius. Each temperature measured +has a high limit, those crossing triggers an alarm. There is an associated +hysteresis value, below which the temperature has to drop before the +alarm is cleared. + +All temperature channels are external, there is no embedded temperature +sensor. Each channel can be used for connecting either a thermal diode +or a thermistor. The driver reports the currently selected mode, but +doesn't allow changing it. In theory, the BIOS should have configured +everything properly. diff --git a/Documentation/hwmon/it87 b/Documentation/hwmon/it87 index 7f42e441c64..9555be1ed99 100644 --- a/Documentation/hwmon/it87 +++ b/Documentation/hwmon/it87 @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ Supported chips: http://www.ite.com.tw/ * IT8712F Prefix: 'it8712' - Addresses scanned: I2C 0x28 - 0x2f + Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2d from Super I/O config space (8 I/O ports) Datasheet: Publicly available at the ITE website http://www.ite.com.tw/ diff --git a/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface b/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface index 764cdc5480e..a0d0ab24288 100644 --- a/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface +++ b/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface @@ -179,11 +179,12 @@ temp[1-*]_auto_point[1-*]_temp_hyst **************** temp[1-3]_type Sensor type selection. - Integers 1, 2, 3 or thermistor Beta value (3435) + Integers 1 to 4 or thermistor Beta value (typically 3435) Read/Write. 1: PII/Celeron Diode 2: 3904 transistor 3: thermal diode + 4: thermistor (default/unknown Beta) Not all types are supported by all chips temp[1-4]_max Temperature max value. @@ -261,6 +262,21 @@ alarms Alarm bitmask. of individual bits.
