Kernel driver fscher
====================
Supported chips:
* Fujitsu-Siemens Hermes chip
Prefix: 'fscher'
Addresses scanned: I2C 0x73

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the Fujitsu-Siemens Hermes chip. It is
described in the 'Register Set Specification BMC Hermes based Systemboard'
from Fujitsu-Siemens.
The Hermes chip implements a hardware-based system management, e.g. for
controlling fan speed and core voltage. There is also a watchdog counter on
the chip which can trigger an alarm and even shut the system down.
The chip provides three temperature values (CPU, motherboard and
auxiliary), three voltage values (+12V, +5V and battery) and three fans
(power supply, CPU and auxiliary).
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. The resolution is 1 degree.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). The value
can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2 or 4) which is stored on
the chip.
Voltage sensors (also known as "in" sensors) report their values in volts.
All values are reported as final values from the driver. There is no need
for further calculations.
Detailed description
--------------------
Below you'll find a single line description of all the bit values. With
this information, you're able to decode e. g. alarms, wdog, etc. To make
use of the watchdog, you'll need to set the watchdog time and enable the
watchdog. After that it is necessary to restart the watchdog time within
the specified period of time, or a system reset will occur.

Limitations
-----------
* Measuring fan speed
It seems that the chip counts "ripples" (typical fans produce 2 ripples per
rotation while VERAX fans produce 18) in a 9-bit register. This register is
read out every second, then the ripple prescaler (2, 4 or 8) is applied and
the result is stored in the 8 bit output register. Due to the limitation of
the counting register to 9 bits, it is impossible to measure a VERAX fan
properly (even with a prescaler of 8). At its maximum speed of 3500 RPM the
fan produces 1080 ripples per second which causes the counting register to
overflow twice, leading to only 186 RPM.
* Measuring input voltages
in2 ("battery") reports the voltage of the onboard lithium battery and not
+3.3V from the power supply.
* Undocumented features
Fujitsu-Siemens Computers has not documented all features of the chip so
far. Their software, System Guard, shows that there are a still some
features which cannot be controlled by this implementation.
