Measurement resolution is -0.5 degrees C. - -Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts. - -Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). - -Usage Note ----------- - -Limit register locations on Intel boards with EC firmware version 1.0 -build date 04/03/13 do not match the register locations in the Nuvoton -datasheet. Nuvoton confirms that Intel uses a special firmware version -with different register addresses. The specification describing the Intel -firmware is held under NDA by Nuvoton and Intel and not available -to the public. - -Some of the register locations can be reverse engineered; others are too -well hidden. Given this, writing any values from the operating system is -considered too risky with this firmware and has been disabled. All limits -must all be written from the BIOS. - -The driver has only been tested with the Intel firmware, and by default -only instantiates on Intel boards. To enable it on non-Intel boards, -set the 'force' module parameter to 1. - -Tested Boards and Firmware Versions ------------------------------------ - -The driver has been reported to work with the following boards and -firmware versions. - -Board Firmware version ---------------------------------------------------------------- -Intel DH87RL NCT6683D EC firmware version 1.0 build 04/03/13 -Intel DH87MC NCT6683D EC firmware version 1.0 build 04/03/13 -Intel DB85FL NCT6683D EC firmware version 1.0 build 04/03/13 |
