We now have one doc file for every driver. Yay! git-svn-id: http://lm-sensors.org/svn/lm-sensors/trunk@345 7894878c-1315-0410-8ee3-d5d059ff63e0

The is the driver for the HP MaxiLife Health monitoring system
|
|
as used in the line of HP Kayak Workstation PC's.
|
|
|
|
The driver supports the following MaxiLife firmware versions:
|
|
|
|
0) HP KAYAK XU/XAs (Dual Pentium II Slot 1, Deschutes/Klamath)
|
|
1) HP KAYAK XU (Dual Xeon [Slot 2] 400/450 Mhz)
|
|
2) HP KAYAK XA (Pentium II Slot 1, monoprocessor)
|
|
|
|
Currently firmware auto detection is not implemented. To use the
|
|
driver load it with the correct option for you Kayak. For example:
|
|
|
|
insmod maxilife.o maxi_version=0 | 1 | 2
|
|
|
|
maxi_version=0 is the default
|
|
|
|
|
|
The lm75's are indeed accessable in the regular way via the lm75 module.
|
|
They worked out of the box. However, I don't use the "raw" lm75 info.
|
|
MaxiLife takes care of reading out the lm75's and converts the values to
|
|
temperatures. Compared to some of the other monitoring controllers MaxiLife
|
|
is quite advanced. It takes care of a lot of issues, like setting ranges,
|
|
raising alarms, etc. Machines with MaxiLife also have a little LCD display
|
|
on their front (lcd is at address 0x54). The idea is that later versions
|
|
of the driver will write health info on the lcd (a bit like lcdproc).
