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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Hardware Interfaces
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
All the chips suported by this driver are LPC Super-I/O chips, accessed
|
||||
through the LPC bus (ISA-like I/O ports). The IT8712F additionally has an
|
||||
SMBus interface to the hardware monitoring functions. This driver no
|
||||
longer supports this interface though, as it is slower and less reliable
|
||||
than the ISA access, and was only available on a small number of
|
||||
motherboard models.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
This driver implements support for the IT8705F, IT8712F, IT8716F,
|
||||
IT8718F, IT8720F, IT8721F, IT8726F, IT8728F, IT8758E 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, associated alarms, and chassis
|
||||
intrusion detection.
|
||||
|
||||
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 IT8718F and IT8720F 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, IT8720F, IT8721F/IT8758E and later IT8712F revisions
|
||||
have support for 2 additional fans. The additional fans are supported by the
|
||||
driver.
|
||||
|
||||
The IT8716F, IT8718F, IT8720F and IT8721F/IT8758E, 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. The 16-bit tachometer mode is enabled by the driver when
|
||||
one of the above chips is detected.
|
||||
|
||||
The IT8726F is just bit enhanced IT8716F with additional hardware
|
||||
for AMD power sequencing. Therefore the chip will appear as IT8716F
|
||||
to userspace applications.
|
||||
|
||||
The IT8728F is considered compatible with the IT8721F, until a datasheet
|
||||
becomes available (hopefully.)
|
||||
|
||||
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 (except IT8721F/IT8758E and IT8728F: 0.012 volt.) The battery
|
||||
voltage in8 does not have limit registers.
|
||||
|
||||
On the IT8721F/IT8758E, some voltage inputs are internal and scaled inside
|
||||
the chip (in7, in8 and optionally in3). The driver handles this transparently
|
||||
so user-space doesn't have to care.
|
||||
|
||||
The VID lines (IT8712F/IT8716F/IT8718F/IT8720F) 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Out-of-limit readings can also result in beeping, if the chip is properly
|
||||
wired and configured. Beeping can be enabled or disabled per sensor type
|
||||
(temperatures, voltages and fans.)
|
||||
|
||||
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 4 > 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. (4 = thermistor;
|
||||
3 = thermal diode)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Fan speed control
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The fan speed control features are limited to manual PWM mode. Automatic
|
||||
"Smart Guardian" mode control handling is only implemented for older chips
|
||||
(see below.) However if you want to go for "manual mode" just write 1 to
|
||||
pwmN_enable.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are only able to control the fan speed with very small PWM values,
|
||||
try lowering the PWM base frequency (pwm1_freq). Depending on the fan,
|
||||
it may give you a somewhat greater control range. The same frequency is
|
||||
used to drive all fan outputs, which is why pwm2_freq and pwm3_freq are
|
||||
read-only.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Automatic fan speed control (old interface)
|
||||
-------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The driver supports the old interface to automatic fan speed control
|
||||
which is implemented by IT8705F chips up to revision F and IT8712F
|
||||
chips up to revision G.
|
||||
|
||||
This interface implements 4 temperature vs. PWM output trip points.
|
||||
The PWM output of trip point 4 is always the maximum value (fan running
|
||||
at full speed) while the PWM output of the other 3 trip points can be
|
||||
freely chosen. The temperature of all 4 trip points can be freely chosen.
|
||||
Additionally, trip point 1 has an hysteresis temperature attached, to
|
||||
prevent fast switching between fan on and off.
|
||||
|
||||
The chip automatically computes the PWM output value based on the input
|
||||
temperature, based on this simple rule: if the temperature value is
|
||||
between trip point N and trip point N+1 then the PWM output value is
|
||||
the one of trip point N. The automatic control mode is less flexible
|
||||
than the manual control mode, but it reacts faster, is more robust and
|
||||
doesn't use CPU cycles.
|
||||
|
||||
Trip points must be set properly before switching to automatic fan speed
|
||||
control mode. The driver will perform basic integrity checks before
|
||||
actually switching to automatic control mode.
