Example usage is `force_subclients=0,0x2f,0x4a,0x4b' - to force the subclients of chip 0x2f on bus 0 to i2c addresses - 0x4a and 0x4b. - - -Description ------------ - -This driver implements support for the Winbond W83792AD/D. - -Detection of the chip can sometimes be foiled because it can be in an -internal state that allows no clean access (Bank with ID register is not -currently selected). If you know the address of the chip, use a 'force' -parameter; this will put it into a more well-behaved state first. - -The driver implements three temperature sensors, seven fan rotation speed -sensors, nine voltage sensors, and two automatic fan regulation -strategies called: Smart Fan I (Thermal Cruise mode) and Smart Fan II. - -The driver also implements up to seven fan control outputs: pwm1-7. Pwm1-7 -can be configured to PWM output or Analogue DC output via their associated -pwmX_mode. Outputs pwm4 through pwm7 may or may not be present depending on -how the W83792AD/D was configured by the BIOS. - -Automatic fan control mode is possible only for fan1-fan3. - -For all pwmX outputs, a value of 0 means minimum fan speed and a value of -255 means maximum fan speed. - -Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is 1 -degC for temp1 and 0.5 degC for temp2 and temp3. An alarm is triggered when -the temperature gets higher than the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays -on until the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value. - -Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is -triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan -readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or -128) to give the readings more range or accuracy. - -Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts. -An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum -or maximum limit. - -Alarms are provided as output from "realtime status register". Following bits -are defined: - -bit - alarm on: -0 - in0 -1 - in1 -2 - temp1 -3 - temp2 -4 - temp3 -5 - fan1 -6 - fan2 -7 - fan3 -8 - in2 -9 - in3 -10 - in4 -11 - in5 -12 - in6 -13 - VID change -14 - chassis -15 - fan7 -16 - tart1 -17 - tart2 -18 - tart3 -19 - in7 -20 - in8 -21 - fan4 -22 - fan5 -23 - fan6 - -Tart will be asserted while target temperature cannot be achieved after 3 minutes -of full speed rotation of corresponding fan. - -In addition to the alarms described above, there is a CHAS alarm on the chips -which triggers if your computer case is open (This one is latched, contrary -to realtime alarms). - -The chips only update values each 3 seconds; reading them more often will -do no harm, but will return 'old' values. - - -W83792D PROBLEMS ----------------- -Known problems: - - This driver is only for Winbond W83792D C version device, there - are also some motherboards with B version W83792D device. The - calculation method to in6-in7(measured value, limits) is a little - different between C and B version. C or B version can be identified - by CR[0x49h]. - - The function of vid and vrm has not been finished, because I'm NOT - very familiar with them. Adding support is welcome. - - The function of chassis open detection needs more tests. - - If you have ASUS server board and chip was not found: Then you will - need to upgrade to latest (or beta) BIOS. If it does not help please - contact us. - -Fan control ------------ - -Manual mode ------------ - -Works as expected. You just need to specify desired PWM/DC value (fan speed) -in appropriate pwm# file. - -Thermal cruise --------------- - -In this mode, W83792D provides the Smart Fan system to automatically control -fan speed to keep the temperatures of CPU and the system within specific -range. At first a wanted temperature and interval must be set. This is done -via thermal_cruise# file. The tolerance# file serves to create T +- tolerance -interval. The fan speed will be lowered as long as the current temperature -remains below the thermal_cruise# +- tolerance# value. Once the temperature -exceeds the high limit (T+tolerance), the fan will be turned on with a -specific speed set by pwm# and automatically controlled its PWM duty cycle -with the temperature varying. Three conditions may occur: - -(1) If the temperature still exceeds the high limit, PWM duty -cycle will increase slowly. - -(2) If the temperature goes below the high limit, but still above the low -limit (T-tolerance), the fan speed will be fixed at the current speed because -the temperature is in the target range. - -(3) If the temperature goes below the low limit, PWM duty cycle will decrease -slowly to 0 or a preset stop value until the temperature exceeds the low -limit. (The preset stop value handling is not yet implemented in driver) - -Smart Fan II ------------- - -W83792D also provides a special mode for fan. Four temperature points are -available. When related temperature sensors detects the temperature in preset -temperature region (sf2_point@_fan# +- tolerance#) it will cause fans to run -on programmed value from sf2_level@_fan#. You need to set four temperatures -for each fan. - - -/sys files ----------- - -pwm[1-7] - this file stores PWM duty cycle or DC value (fan speed) in range: - 0 (stop) to 255 (full) -pwm[1-3]_enable - this file controls mode of fan/temperature control: - * 0 Disabled - * 1 Manual mode - * 2 Smart Fan II - * 3 Thermal Cruise -pwm[1-7]_mode - Select PWM or DC mode - * 0 DC - * 1 PWM -thermal_cruise[1-3] - Selects the desired temperature for cruise (degC) -tolerance[1-3] - Value in degrees of Celsius (degC) for +- T -sf2_point[1-4]_fan[1-3] - four temperature points for each fan for Smart Fan II -sf2_level[1-3]_fan[1-3] - three PWM/DC levels for each fan for Smart Fan II |
