24 Use 'init=0' to bypass initializing the chip.
25 Try this if your computer crashes when you load the module.
27 * force_subclients=bus,caddr,saddr,saddr
28 This is used to force the i2c addresses for subclients of
29 a certain chip. Example usage is `force_subclients=0,0x2f,0x4a,0x4b`
30 to force the subclients of chip 0x2f on bus 0 to i2c addresses
37 This driver implements support for the Winbond W83792AD/D.
39 Detection of the chip can sometimes be foiled because it can be in an
40 internal state that allows no clean access (Bank with ID register is not
41 currently selected). If you know the address of the chip, use a 'force'
42 parameter; this will put it into a more well-behaved state first.
44 The driver implements three temperature sensors, seven fan rotation speed
45 sensors, nine voltage sensors, and two automatic fan regulation
46 strategies called: Smart Fan I (Thermal Cruise mode) and Smart Fan II.
48 The driver also implements up to seven fan control outputs: pwm1-7. Pwm1-7
49 can be configured to PWM output or Analogue DC output via their associated
50 pwmX_mode. Outputs pwm4 through pwm7 may or may not be present depending on
51 how the W83792AD/D was configured by the BIOS.
53 Automatic fan control mode is possible only for fan1-fan3.
55 For all pwmX outputs, a value of 0 means minimum fan speed and a value of
56 255 means maximum fan speed.
58 Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is 1
59 degC for temp1 and 0.5 degC for temp2 and temp3. An alarm is triggered when
60 the temperature gets higher than the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays
61 on until the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value.
63 Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
64 triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
65 readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or
66 128) to give the readings more range or accuracy.
68 Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts.
69 An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
72 Alarms are provided as output from "realtime status register". Following bits
104 Tart will be asserted while target temperature cannot be achieved after 3 minutes
105 of full speed rotation of corresponding fan.
107 In addition to the alarms described above, there is a CHAS alarm on the chips
108 which triggers if your computer case is open (This one is latched, contrary
111 The chips only update values each 3 seconds; reading them more often will
112 do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
118 - This driver is only for Winbond W83792D C version device, there
119 are also some motherboards with B version W83792D device. The
120 calculation method to in6-in7(measured value, limits) is a little
121 different between C and B version. C or B version can be identified
123 - The function of vid and vrm has not been finished, because I'm NOT
124 very familiar with them. Adding support is welcome.
125 - The function of chassis open detection needs more tests.
126 - If you have ASUS server board and chip was not found: Then you will
127 need to upgrade to latest (or beta) BIOS. If it does not help please
136 Works as expected. You just need to specify desired PWM/DC value (fan speed)
137 in appropriate pwm# file.
142 In this mode, W83792D provides the Smart Fan system to automatically control
143 fan speed to keep the temperatures of CPU and the system within specific
144 range. At first a wanted temperature and interval must be set. This is done
145 via thermal_cruise# file. The tolerance# file serves to create T +- tolerance
146 interval. The fan speed will be lowered as long as the current temperature
147 remains below the thermal_cruise# +- tolerance# value. Once the temperature
148 exceeds the high limit (T+tolerance), the fan will be turned on with a
149 specific speed set by pwm# and automatically controlled its PWM duty cycle
150 with the temperature varying. Three conditions may occur:
152 (1) If the temperature still exceeds the high limit, PWM duty
153 cycle will increase slowly.
155 (2) If the temperature goes below the high limit, but still above the low
156 limit (T-tolerance), the fan speed will be fixed at the current speed because
157 the temperature is in the target range.
159 (3) If the temperature goes below the low limit, PWM duty cycle will decrease
160 slowly to 0 or a preset stop value until the temperature exceeds the low
161 limit. (The preset stop value handling is not yet implemented in driver)
166 W83792D also provides a special mode for fan. Four temperature points are
167 available. When related temperature sensors detects the temperature in preset
168 temperature region (sf2_point@_fan# +- tolerance#) it will cause fans to run
169 on programmed value from sf2_level@_fan#. You need to set four temperatures
177 - this file stores PWM duty cycle or DC value (fan speed) in range:
179 0 (stop) to 255 (full)
181 - this file controls mode of fan/temperature control:
188 - Select PWM or DC mode
193 - Selects the desired temperature for cruise (degC)
195 - Value in degrees of Celsius (degC) for +- T
196 sf2_point[1-4]_fan[1-3]
197 - four temperature points for each fan for Smart Fan II
198 sf2_level[1-3]_fan[1-3]
199 - three PWM/DC levels for each fan for Smart Fan II
