To give the readings more +range or accuracy, the desired value can be set by a programmable register +(1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32). Set higher values for larger speeds. + +The driver provides the following sensor access in sysfs: + +================ ======= ===================================================== +fan[1-4]_alarm ro Fan alarm. +fan[1-4]_div rw Sets the nominal RPM range of the fan. Valid values + are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32. +fan[1-4]_input ro Fan speed in RPM. +fan[1-4]_target rw Desired fan speed in RPM. +================ ======= ===================================================== + +Usage notes +----------- + +This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the +devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices.rst for +details. |
