Module Parameters
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
force_addr=0xaddr Set the I/O base address. Useful for boards
|
|
that don't set the address in the BIOS.
|
|
Don't use this unless the driver complains that the
|
|
base address is not set.
|
|
Example: 'modprobe vt1211 force_addr=0x680'
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The Via VT1211 Super I/O chip
|
|
contains voltage/temperature monitoring and
|
|
PWM control circuitry for two fans.
|
|
|
|
We define the sensors as follows. Somewhat convoluted to minimize
|
|
changes from via686a.
|
|
|
|
Sensor Voltage Mode Temp Mode uch_config bit
|

-------- ------------ --------- --------------
|
|
Reading 1 temp3
|
|
Reading 3 temp1
|
|
UCH1/Reading2 in0 temp2 0x04 (4)
|
|
UCH2 in1 temp4 0x08 (8)
|
|
UCH3 in2 temp5 0x10 (16)
|
|
UCH4 in3 temp6 0x20 (32)
|
|
UCH5 in4 temp7 0x40 (64)
|
|
3.3V in5
|
|
|
|
As noted above, 5 of the sensors are "universal channels" and can
|
|
be set for either voltage or temperature.
|
|
Set the uch_config bit (in /proc) to 0 for voltage and 1 for temperature.
|
|
Voltages will read 0 if set for temperature.
|
|
Temperatures will read a really low number if set for voltage.
|
|
|
|
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 or 8) to give
|
|
the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
|
|
represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
|
|
representable value is around 2600 RPM.
|
|
|
|
PWM values are from 0 to 255. The first value in the /proc entry is
|
|
the pwm value; the second is the enable (0 or 1).
|
|
|
|
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.
