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.
