From ede7fbdf526c314850c9f32dd8da1753bf8d0ad5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Sat, 2 Jul 2005 18:52:48 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] I2C: Move hwmon drivers (3/3) Part 3: Move the drivers documentation, plus two general documentation files. Note that the patch "adds trailing whitespace", because it does move the files as-is, and some files happen to have trailing whitespace.

Hoffman + +Description +----------- + +This driver implements support for the Asus ASB100 and ASB100-A "Bach". +These are custom ASICs available only on Asus mainboards. Asus refuses to +supply a datasheet for these chips. Thanks go to many people who helped +investigate their hardware, including: + +Vitaly V. Bursov +Alexander van Kaam (author of MBM for Windows) +Bertrik Sikken + +The ASB100 implements seven voltage sensors, three fan rotation speed +sensors, four temperature sensors, VID lines and alarms. In addition to +these, the ASB100-A also implements a single PWM controller for fans 2 and +3 (i.e. one setting controls both.) If you have a plain ASB100, the PWM +controller will simply not work (or maybe it will for you... it doesn't for +me). + +Temperatures are measured and reported in degrees Celsius. + +Fan speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is +triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. + +Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report values in volts. + +The VID lines encode the core voltage value: the voltage level your +processor should work with. This is hardcoded by the mainboard and/or +processor itself. It is a value in volts. + +Alarms: (TODO question marks indicate may or may not work) + +0x0001 => in0 (?) +0x0002 => in1 (?) +0x0004 => in2 +0x0008 => in3 +0x0010 => temp1 (1) +0x0020 => temp2 +0x0040 => fan1 +0x0080 => fan2 +0x0100 => in4 +0x0200 => in5 (?)
