based on preliminary work by Yuan My (Winbond). Thanks to Bernardo Motta at Observit for providing the hardware that made it possible. Note that support for the W83627DHG isn't included, but it could easily be added later is anyone needs it. git-svn-id: http://lm-sensors.org/svn/lm-sensors/trunk@4447 7894878c-1315-0410-8ee3-d5d059ff63e0

Thanks to Observit and Bernardo Motta for providing a motherboard, CPU
|
|
and memory that made it possible to backport the w83627ehf driver from
|
|
Linux 2.6 to Linux 2.4.

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This driver implements support for the Winbond W83627EHF and W83627EHG
|
|
super I/O chips. Support for the W83627DHG isn't included, but could be
|
|
easily added if needed.
|
|
|
|
The chips implement three temperature sensors, five fan rotation speed
|
|
sensors, ten analog voltage sensors, alarms with beep warnings (control
|
|
unimplemented), some automatic fan regulation strategies (unimplemented)
|
|
and manual fan speed control.
|
|
|
|
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is
|
|
1 degree Celsius for temp1 and 0.5 degee Celsius for temp2 and temp3. An
|
|
alarm is triggered when the temperature gets higher than high limit; 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. The driver sets the most
|
|
suitable fan divisor itself. Some fans might not be present because they
|
|
share pins with other functions.
|
|
|
|
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in Volts.
|
|
An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
|
|
or maximum limit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fan speed control
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The chips support 4 different fan speed control modes. The currently
|
|
selected mode can be read from (and written to) the second value of
|
|
files pwm[1-4]. Modes are:
|
|
|
|
1: Manual mode. The desired fan speed can be written to the first
|
|
value of the pwm[1-4] file, from 0 (stop) to 255 (full speed).
|
|
2: Thermal cruise mode (unimplemented).
|
|
3: Fan speed cuise mode (unimplemented).
|
|
4: Smart Fan III mode (pwm2 and pwm4 only, unimplemented).
|
|
|
|
While the automatic modes are not implemented by this driver, they can
|
|
still be selected, so they will work if (and only if) the BIOS has
|
|
programmed the chip with sensible register values.
