This does not work for original THMC50 chips. - -Description ------------ - -The THMC50 implements: an internal temperature sensor, support for an -external diode-type temperature sensor (compatible w/ the diode sensor inside -many processors), and a controllable fan/analog_out DAC. For the temperature -sensors, limits can be set through the appropriate Overtemperature Shutdown -register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be set and read to half-degree -accuracy. An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the -temperature gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on -until the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value. All temperatures are in -degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a range of -55 to +125 degrees. - -The THMC50 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often -will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. - -The THMC50 is usually used in combination with LM78-like chips, to measure -the temperature of the processor(s). - -The ADM1022 works the same as THMC50 but it is faster (5 Hz instead of -1 Hz for THMC50). It can be also put in a new mode to handle additional -remote temperature sensor. The driver use the mode set by BIOS by default. - -In case the BIOS is broken and the mode is set incorrectly, you can force -the mode with additional remote temperature with adm1022_temp3 parameter. -A typical symptom of wrong setting is a fan forced to full speed. - -Driver Features ---------------- - -The driver provides up to three temperatures: - -temp1 -- internal -temp2 -- remote -temp3 -- 2nd remote only for ADM1022 - -pwm1 -- fan speed (0 = stop, 255 = full) -pwm1_mode -- always 0 (DC mode) - -The value of 0 for pwm1 also forces FAN_OFF signal from the chip, -so it stops fans even if the value 0 into the ANALOG_OUT register does not. - -The driver was tested on Compaq AP550 with two ADM1022 chips (one works -in the temp3 mode), five temperature readings and two fans. - |
