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.

The Maxim MAX1617 is -the oldest; it has the problem that it is not very well detectable. The -MAX1617A solves that. The ADM1021 is a straight clone of the MAX1617A. -Ditto for the THMC10. From here on, we will refer to all these chips as -ADM1021-clones. - -The ADM1021 and MAX1617A reports a die code, which is a sort of revision -code. This can help us pinpoint problems; it is not very useful -otherwise. - -ADM1021-clones implement two temperature sensors. One of them is internal, -and measures the temperature of the chip itself; the other is external and -is realised in the form of a transistor-like device. A special alarm -indicates whether the remote sensor is connected. - -Each sensor has its own low and high limits. When they are crossed, the -corresponding alarm is set and remains on as long as the temperature stays -out of range. Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. Measurements -are possible between -65 and +127 degrees, with a resolution of one degree. - -If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register -is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already -have disappeared! - -This driver only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often -will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. It is possible to make -ADM1021-clones do faster measurements, but there is really no good reason -for that. - -Xeon support ------------- - -Some Xeon processors have real max1617, adm1021, or compatible chips -within them, with two temperature sensors. - -Other Xeons have chips with only one sensor. - -If you have a Xeon, and the adm1021 module loads, and both temperatures -appear valid, then things are good. - -If the adm1021 module doesn't load, you should try this: - modprobe adm1021 force_adm1021=BUS,ADDRESS - ADDRESS can only be 0x18, 0x1a, 0x29, 0x2b, 0x4c, or 0x4e. - -If you have dual Xeons you may have appear to have two separate -adm1021-compatible chips, or two single-temperature sensors, at distinct -addresses. -- cgit v1.2.3
