We will refer to 0xE0 as CMD (command-port) +and 0xE4 as DATA because Abit refers to them with these names. + +If DATA holds 0x00 or 0x08 and CMD holds 0x00 or 0xAC an uGuru could be +present. We have to check for two different values at data-port, because +after a reboot uGuru will hold 0x00 here, but if the driver is removed and +later on attached again data-port will hold 0x08, more about this later. + +After wider testing of the Linux kernel driver some variants of the uGuru have +turned up which will hold 0x00 instead of 0xAC at the CMD port, thus we also +have to test CMD for two different values. On these uGuru's DATA will initally +hold 0x09 and will only hold 0x08 after reading CMD first, so CMD must be read +first! + +To be really sure an uGuru is present a test read of one or more register +sets should be done. + + +Reading / Writing +================= + +Addressing +---------- + +The uGuru has a number of different addressing levels. The first addressing +level we will call banks. A bank holds data for one or more sensors. The data +in a bank for a sensor is one or more bytes large. + +The number of bytes is fixed for a given bank, you should always read or write +that many bytes, reading / writing more will fail, the results when writing +less then the number of bytes for a given bank are undetermined. + +See below for all known bank addresses, numbers of sensors in that bank, +number of bytes data per sensor and contents/meaning of those bytes. + +Although both this document and the kernel driver have kept the sensor +terminoligy for the addressing within a bank this is not 100% correct, in +bank 0x24 for example the addressing within the bank selects a PWM output not +a sensor. + +Notice that some banks have both a read and a write address this is how the +uGuru determines if a read from or a write to the bank is taking place, thus +when reading you should always use the read address and when writing the +write address. The write address is always one (1) more then the read address. + + +uGuru ready +----------- + +Before you can read from or write to the uGuru you must first put the uGuru +in "ready" mode. + +To put the uGuru in ready mode first write 0x00 to DATA and then wait for DATA +to hold 0x09, DATA should read 0x09 within 250 read cycles. + +Next CMD _must_ be read and should hold 0xAC, usually CMD will hold 0xAC the +first read but sometimes it takes a while before CMD holds 0xAC and thus it +has to be read a number of times (max 50). + +After reading CMD, DATA should hold 0x08 which means that the uGuru is ready +for input. As above DATA will usually hold 0x08 the first read but not always. +This step can be skipped, but it is undetermined what happens if the uGuru has +not yet reported 0x08 at DATA and you proceed with writing a bank address. + + +Sending bank and sensor addresses to the uGuru +---------------------------------------------- + +First the uGuru must be in "ready" mode as described above, DATA should hold +0x08 indicating that the uGuru wants input, in this case the bank address. + +Next write the bank address to DATA. After the bank address has been written +wait for to DATA to hold 0x08 again indicating that it wants / is ready for +more input (max 250 reads). + +Once DATA holds 0x08 again write the sensor address to CMD. + + +Reading +------- + +First send the bank and sensor addresses as described above. +Then for each byte of data you want to read wait for DATA to hold 0x01 +which indicates that the uGuru is ready to be read (max 250 reads) and once +DATA holds 0x01 read the byte from CMD. + +Once all bytes have been read data will hold 0x09, but there is no reason to +test for this. Notice that the number of bytes is bank address dependent see +above and below. + +After completing a successfull read it is advised to put the uGuru back in +ready mode, so that it is ready for the next read / write cycle. This way +if your program / driver is unloaded and later loaded again the detection +algorithm described above will still work. + + + +Writing +------- + +First send the bank and sensor addresses as described above. +Then for each byte of data you want to write wait for DATA to hold 0x00 +which indicates that the uGuru is ready to be written (max 250 reads) and +once DATA holds 0x00 write the byte to CMD. + +Once all bytes have been written wait for DATA to hold 0x01 (max 250 reads) +don't ask why this is the way it is. + +Once DATA holds 0x01 read CMD it should hold 0xAC now. + +After completing a successfull write it is advised to put the uGuru back in +ready mode, so that it is ready for the next read / write cycle. This way +if your program / driver is unloaded and later loaded again the detection +algorithm described above will still work. + + +Gotchas +------- + +After wider testing of the Linux kernel driver some variants of the uGuru have +turned up which do not hold 0x08 at DATA within 250 reads after writing the +bank address. With these versions this happens quite frequent, using larger +timeouts doesn't help, they just go offline for a second or 2, doing some +internal callibration or whatever. Your code should be prepared to handle +this and in case of no response in this specific case just goto sleep for a +while and then retry. + + +Address Map +=========== + +Bank 0x20 Alarms (R) +-------------------- +This bank contains 0 sensors, iow the sensor address is ignored (but must be +written) just use 0.
