Use 'reset=1' to reset the chip when loading this module. - -* force_subclients=bus,caddr,saddr1,saddr2 - This is used to force the i2c addresses for subclients of - a certain chip. Typical usage is `force_subclients=0,0x2f,0x4a,0x4b' - to force the subclients of chip 0x2f on bus 0 to i2c addresses - 0x4a and 0x4b. - - -Description ------------ - -This driver implements support for Winbond W83793G/W83793R chips. - -* Exported features - This driver exports 10 voltage sensors, up to 12 fan tachometer inputs, - 6 remote temperatures, up to 8 sets of PWM fan controls, SmartFan - (automatic fan speed control) on all temperature/PWM combinations, 2 - sets of 6-pin CPU VID input. - -* Sensor resolutions - If your motherboard maker used the reference design, the resolution of - voltage0-2 is 2mV, resolution of voltage3/4/5 is 16mV, 8mV for voltage6, - 24mV for voltage7/8. Temp1-4 have a 0.25 degree Celsius resolution, - temp5-6 have a 1 degree Celsiis resolution. - -* Temperature sensor types - Temp1-4 have 2 possible types. It can be read from (and written to) - temp[1-4]_type. - - If the value is 3, it starts monitoring using a remote termal diode - (default). - - If the value is 6, it starts monitoring using the temperature sensor - in Intel CPU and get result by PECI. - Temp5-6 can be connected to external thermistors (value of - temp[5-6]_type is 4). - -* Alarm mechanism - For voltage sensors, an alarm triggers if the measured value is below - the low voltage limit or over the high voltage limit. - For temperature sensors, an alarm triggers if the measured value goes - above the high temperature limit, and wears off only after the measured - value drops below the hysteresis value. - For fan sensors, an alarm triggers if the measured value is below the - low speed limit. - -* SmartFan/PWM control - If you want to set a pwm fan to manual mode, you just need to make sure it - is not controlled by any temp channel, for example, you want to set fan1 - to manual mode, you need to check the value of temp[1-6]_fan_map, make - sure bit 0 is cleared in the 6 values. And then set the pwm1 value to - control the fan. - - Each temperature channel can control all the 8 PWM outputs (by setting the - corresponding bit in tempX_fan_map), you can set the temperature channel - mode using temp[1-6]_pwm_enable, 2 is Thermal Cruise mode and 3 - is the SmartFanII mode. Temperature channels will try to speed up or - slow down all controlled fans, this means one fan can receive different - PWM value requests from different temperature channels, but the chip - will always pick the safest (max) PWM value for each fan. - - In Thermal Cruise mode, the chip attempts to keep the temperature at a - predefined value, within a tolerance margin. So if tempX_input > - thermal_cruiseX + toleranceX, the chip will increase the PWM value, - if tempX_input < thermal_cruiseX - toleranceX, the chip will decrease - the PWM value. If the temperature is within the tolerance range, the PWM - value is left unchanged. - - SmartFanII works differently, you have to define up to 7 PWM, temperature - trip points, defining a PWM/temperature curve which the chip will follow. - While not fundamentally different from the Thermal Cruise mode, the - implementation is quite different, giving you a finer-grained control. - -* Chassis - If the case open alarm triggers, it will stay in this state unless cleared - by writing 0 to the sysfs file "intrusion0_alarm". - -* VID and VRM - The VRM version is detected automatically, don't modify the it unless you - *do* know the cpu VRM version and it's not properly detected. - - -Notes ------ - - Only Fan1-5 and PWM1-3 are guaranteed to always exist, other fan inputs and - PWM outputs may or may not exist depending on the chip pin configuration. |
