182 0 if vbat should report power on value, 1 if vbat should be updated after
183 each read. Default is 0. On some boards the battery voltage is provided
184 by either the battery or the onboard power supply. Only the first reading
185 at power on will be the actual battery voltage (which the chip does
186 automatically). On other boards the battery voltage is always fed to
187 the chip so can be read at any time. Excessive reading may decrease
188 battery life but no information is given in the datasheet.
190 * fix_pwm_polarity bool
191 Force PWM polarity to active high (DANGEROUS). Some chips are
192 misconfigured by BIOS - PWM values would be inverted. This option tries
193 to fix this. Please contact your BIOS manufacturer and ask him for fix.
195 * force_id short, short
197 Force multiple chip ID to specified value, separated by ','.
198 For example "force_id=0x8689,0x8633". A value of 0 is ignored
200 Note: A single force_id value (e.g. "force_id=0x8689") is used for
201 all chips, to only set the first chip use "force_id=0x8689,0".
202 Should only be used for testing.
204 * ignore_resource_conflict bool
206 Similar to acpi_enforce_resources=lax, but only affects this driver.
207 ACPI resource conflicts are ignored if this parameter is provided and
209 Provided since there are reports that system-wide acpi_enfore_resources=lax
210 can result in boot failures on some systems.
211 Note: This is inherently risky since it means that both ACPI and this driver
212 may access the chip at the same time. This can result in race conditions and,
213 worst case, result in unexpected system reboots.
219 All the chips supported by this driver are LPC Super-I/O chips, accessed
220 through the LPC bus (ISA-like I/O ports). The IT8712F additionally has an
221 SMBus interface to the hardware monitoring functions. This driver no
222 longer supports this interface though, as it is slower and less reliable
223 than the ISA access, and was only available on a small number of
230 This driver implements support for the IT8603E, IT8620E, IT8623E, IT8628E,
231 IT8705F, IT8712F, IT8716F, IT8718F, IT8720F, IT8721F, IT8726F, IT8728F, IT8732F,
232 IT8758E, IT8771E, IT8772E, IT8781F, IT8782F, IT8783E/F, IT8786E, IT8790E,
233 IT8792E/IT8795E, IT87952E and SiS950 chips.
235 These chips are 'Super I/O chips', supporting floppy disks, infrared ports,
236 joysticks and other miscellaneous stuff. For hardware monitoring, they
237 include an 'environment controller' with 3 temperature sensors, 3 fan
238 rotation speed sensors, 8 voltage sensors, associated alarms, and chassis
241 The IT8712F and IT8716F additionally feature VID inputs, used to report
242 the Vcore voltage of the processor. The early IT8712F have 5 VID pins,
243 the IT8716F and late IT8712F have 6. They are shared with other functions
244 though, so the functionality may not be available on a given system.
246 The IT8718F and IT8720F also features VID inputs (up to 8 pins) but the value
247 is stored in the Super-I/O configuration space. Due to technical limitations,
248 this value can currently only be read once at initialization time, so
249 the driver won't notice and report changes in the VID value. The two
250 upper VID bits share their pins with voltage inputs (in5 and in6) so you
251 can't have both on a given board.
253 The IT8716F, IT8718F, IT8720F, IT8721F/IT8758E and later IT8712F revisions
254 have support for 2 additional fans. The additional fans are supported by the
257 The IT8716F, IT8718F, IT8720F, IT8721F/IT8758E, IT8732F, IT8781F, IT8782F,
258 IT8783E/F, and late IT8712F and IT8705F also have optional 16-bit tachometer
259 counters for fans 1 to 3. This is better (no more fan clock divider mess) but
260 not compatible with the older chips and revisions. The 16-bit tachometer mode
261 is enabled by the driver when one of the above chips is detected.
263 The IT8726F is just bit enhanced IT8716F with additional hardware
264 for AMD power sequencing. Therefore the chip will appear as IT8716F
265 to userspace applications.
267 The IT8728F, IT8771E, and IT8772E are considered compatible with the IT8721F,
268 until a datasheet becomes available (hopefully.)
270 The IT8603E/IT8623E is a custom design, hardware monitoring part is similar to
271 IT8728F. It only supports 3 fans, 16-bit fan mode, and the full speed mode
272 of the fan is not supported (value 0 of pwmX_enable).
274 The IT8620E and IT8628E are custom designs, hardware monitoring part is similar
275 to IT8728F. It only supports 16-bit fan mode. Both chips support up to 6 fans.
277 The IT8790E, IT8792E/IT8795E and IT87952E support up to 3 fans. 16-bit fan
278 mode is always enabled.
280 The IT8732F supports a closed-loop mode for fan control, but this is not
281 currently implemented by the driver.
283 Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once
284 when the Overtemperature Shutdown limit is crossed.
286 Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
287 triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. When
288 16-bit tachometer counters aren't used, fan readings can be divided by
289 a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give the readings more range or
290 accuracy. With a divider of 2, the lowest representable value is around
291 2600 RPM. Not all RPM values can accurately be represented, so some rounding
294 Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts. An
295 alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or
296 maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
297 zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. On most chips, all
298 voltage inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution
299 of 0.016 volt. IT8603E, IT8721F/IT8758E and IT8728F can measure between 0 and
300 3.06 volts, with a resolution of 0.012 volt. IT8732F can measure between 0 and
301 2.8 volts with a resolution of 0.0109 volt. The battery voltage in8 does not
302 have limit registers.
304 On the IT8603E, IT8620E, IT8628E, IT8721F/IT8758E, IT8732F, IT8781F, IT8782F,
305 and IT8783E/F, some voltage inputs are internal and scaled inside the chip:
307 * in7 (optional for IT8781F, IT8782F, and IT8783E/F)
309 * in9 (relevant for IT8603E only)
310 The driver handles this transparently so user-space doesn't have to care.
312 The VID lines (IT8712F/IT8716F/IT8718F/IT8720F) encode the core voltage value:
313 the voltage level your processor should work with. This is hardcoded by
314 the mainboard and/or processor itself. It is a value in volts.
316 If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
317 is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
318 have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware
319 registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 1.5
320 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss
323 Out-of-limit readings can also result in beeping, if the chip is properly
324 wired and configured. Beeping can be enabled or disabled per sensor type
325 (temperatures, voltages and fans.)
327 The IT87xx only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
328 will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
330 To change sensor N to a thermistor, 'echo 4 > tempN_type' where N is 1, 2,
331 or 3. To change sensor N to a thermal diode, 'echo 3 > tempN_type'.
332 Give 0 for unused sensor. Any other value is invalid. To configure this at
333 startup, consult lm_sensors's /etc/sensors.conf. (4 = thermistor;
340 The fan speed control features are limited to manual PWM mode. Automatic
341 "Smart Guardian" mode control handling is only implemented for older chips
342 (see below.) However if you want to go for "manual mode" just write 1 to
345 If you are only able to control the fan speed with very small PWM values,
346 try lowering the PWM base frequency (pwm1_freq). Depending on the fan,
347 it may give you a somewhat greater control range. The same frequency is
348 used to drive all fan outputs, which is why pwm2_freq and pwm3_freq are
352 Automatic fan speed control (old interface)
353 -------------------------------------------
355 The driver supports the old interface to automatic fan speed control
356 which is implemented by IT8705F chips up to revision F and IT8712F
357 chips up to revision G.
359 This interface implements 4 temperature vs. PWM output trip points.
360 The PWM output of trip point 4 is always the maximum value (fan running
361 at full speed) while the PWM output of the other 3 trip points can be
362 freely chosen. The temperature of all 4 trip points can be freely chosen.
363 Additionally, trip point 1 has an hysteresis temperature attached, to
364 prevent fast switching between fan on and off.
366 The chip automatically computes the PWM output value based on the input
367 temperature, based on this simple rule: if the temperature value is
368 between trip point N and trip point N+1 then the PWM output value is
369 the one of trip point N. The automatic control mode is less flexible
370 than the manual control mode, but it reacts faster, is more robust and
371 doesn't use CPU cycles.
373 Trip points must be set properly before switching to automatic fan speed
374 control mode. The driver will perform basic integrity checks before
375 actually switching to automatic control mode.
378 Temperature offset attributes
379 -----------------------------
381 The driver supports temp[1-3]_offset sysfs attributes to adjust the reported
382 temperature for thermal diodes or diode-connected thermal transistors.
383 If a temperature sensor is configured for thermistors, the attribute values
384 are ignored. If the thermal sensor type is Intel PECI, the temperature offset
385 must be programmed to the critical CPU temperature.
