Module Parameters
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* update_vbat: int
|
|
|
|
0 if vbat should report power on value, 1 if vbat should be updated after
|
|
each read. Default is 0. On some boards the battery voltage is provided
|
|
by either the battery or the onboard power supply. Only the first reading
|
|
at power on will be the actual battery voltage (which the chip does
|
|
automatically). On other boards the battery voltage is always fed to
|
|
the chip so can be read at any time. Excessive reading may decrease
|
|
battery life but no information is given in the datasheet.
|
|
|
|
* fix_pwm_polarity int
|
|
|
|
Force PWM polarity to active high (DANGEROUS). Some chips are
|
|
misconfigured by BIOS - PWM values would be inverted. This option tries
|
|
to fix this. Please contact your BIOS manufacturer and ask him for fix.

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This driver implements support for the IT8705F, IT8712F, IT8716F,
|
|
IT8718F and SiS950 chips.
|
|
|
|
These chips are 'Super I/O chips', supporting floppy disks, infrared ports,
|
|
joysticks and other miscellaneous stuff. For hardware monitoring, they
|
|
include an 'environment controller' with 3 temperature sensors, 3 fan
|
|
rotation speed sensors, 8 voltage sensors, and associated alarms.
|
|
|
|
The IT8712F and IT8716F additionally feature VID inputs, used to report
|
|
the Vcore voltage of the processor. The early IT8712F have 5 VID pins,
|
|
the IT8716F and late IT8712F have 6. They are shared with other functions
|
|
though, so the functionality may not be available on a given system.
|
|
The driver dumbly assume it is there.
|
|
|
|
The IT8718F also features VID inputs (up to 8 pins) but the value is
|
|
stored in the Super-I/O configuration space. Due to technical limitations,
|
|
this value can currently only be read once at initialization time, so
|
|
the driver won't notice and report changes in the VID value. The two
|
|
upper VID bits share their pins with voltage inputs (in5 and in6) so you
|
|
can't have both on a given board.
|
|
|
|
The IT8716F, IT8718F and later IT8712F revisions have support for
|
|
2 additional fans. They are not yet supported by the driver.
|
|
|
|
The IT8716F and IT8718F, and late IT8712F and IT8705F also have optional
|
|
16-bit tachometer counters for fans 1 to 3. This is better (no more fan
|
|
clock divider mess) but not compatible with the older chips and
|
|
revisions. For now, the driver only uses the 16-bit mode on the
|
|
IT8716F and IT8718F.
|
|
|
|
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once
|
|
when the Overtemperature Shutdown limit is crossed.
|
|
|
|
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
|
|
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. When
|
|
16-bit tachometer counters aren't used, fan readings can be divided by
|
|
a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give the readings more range or
|
|
accuracy. With a divider of 2, the lowest representable value is around
|
|
2600 RPM. Not all RPM values can accurately be represented, so some rounding
|
|
is done.
|
|
|
|
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts. An
|
|
alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or
|
|
maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
|
|
zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. All voltage
|
|
inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution of
|
|
0.016 volt. The battery voltage in8 does not have limit registers.
|
|
|
|
The VID lines (IT8712F/IT8716F/IT8718F) 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.
|
|
|
|
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! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware
|
|
registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 1.5
|
|
seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss
|
|
once-only alarms.
|
|
|
|
The IT87xx only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
|
|
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
|
|
|
|
To change sensor N to a thermistor, 'echo 2 > tempN_type' where N is 1, 2,
|
|
or 3. To change sensor N to a thermal diode, 'echo 3 > tempN_type'.
|
|
Give 0 for unused sensor. Any other value is invalid. To configure this at
|
|
startup, consult lm_sensors's /etc/sensors.conf. (2 = thermistor;
|
|
3 = thermal diode)
|
|
|
|
The fan speed control features are limited to manual PWM mode. Automatic
|
|
"Smart Guardian" mode control handling is not implemented. However
|
|
if you want to go for "manual mode" just write 1 to pwmN_enable.
