84 0 if vbat should report power on value, 1 if vbat should be updated after
85 each read. Default is 0. On some boards the battery voltage is provided
86 by either the battery or the onboard power supply. Only the first reading
87 at power on will be the actual battery voltage (which the chip does
88 automatically). On other boards the battery voltage is always fed to
89 the chip so can be read at any time. Excessive reading may decrease
90 battery life but no information is given in the datasheet.
92 * fix_pwm_polarity int
94 Force PWM polarity to active high (DANGEROUS). Some chips are
95 misconfigured by BIOS - PWM values would be inverted. This option tries
96 to fix this. Please contact your BIOS manufacturer and ask him for fix.
102 All the chips supported by this driver are LPC Super-I/O chips, accessed
103 through the LPC bus (ISA-like I/O ports). The IT8712F additionally has an
104 SMBus interface to the hardware monitoring functions. This driver no
105 longer supports this interface though, as it is slower and less reliable
106 than the ISA access, and was only available on a small number of
113 This driver implements support for the IT8603E, IT8620E, IT8623E, IT8705F,
114 IT8712F, IT8716F, IT8718F, IT8720F, IT8721F, IT8726F, IT8728F, IT8758E,
115 IT8771E, IT8772E, IT8781F, IT8782F, IT8783E/F, IT8786E, IT8790E, and SiS950
118 These chips are 'Super I/O chips', supporting floppy disks, infrared ports,
119 joysticks and other miscellaneous stuff. For hardware monitoring, they
120 include an 'environment controller' with 3 temperature sensors, 3 fan
121 rotation speed sensors, 8 voltage sensors, associated alarms, and chassis
124 The IT8712F and IT8716F additionally feature VID inputs, used to report
125 the Vcore voltage of the processor. The early IT8712F have 5 VID pins,
126 the IT8716F and late IT8712F have 6. They are shared with other functions
127 though, so the functionality may not be available on a given system.
129 The IT8718F and IT8720F also features VID inputs (up to 8 pins) but the value
130 is stored in the Super-I/O configuration space. Due to technical limitations,
131 this value can currently only be read once at initialization time, so
132 the driver won't notice and report changes in the VID value. The two
133 upper VID bits share their pins with voltage inputs (in5 and in6) so you
134 can't have both on a given board.
136 The IT8716F, IT8718F, IT8720F, IT8721F/IT8758E and later IT8712F revisions
137 have support for 2 additional fans. The additional fans are supported by the
140 The IT8716F, IT8718F, IT8720F, IT8721F/IT8758E, IT8781F, IT8782F, IT8783E/F,
141 and late IT8712F and IT8705F also have optional 16-bit tachometer counters
142 for fans 1 to 3. This is better (no more fan clock divider mess) but not
143 compatible with the older chips and revisions. The 16-bit tachometer mode
144 is enabled by the driver when one of the above chips is detected.
146 The IT8726F is just bit enhanced IT8716F with additional hardware
147 for AMD power sequencing. Therefore the chip will appear as IT8716F
148 to userspace applications.
150 The IT8728F, IT8771E, and IT8772E are considered compatible with the IT8721F,
151 until a datasheet becomes available (hopefully.)
153 The IT8603E/IT8623E is a custom design, hardware monitoring part is similar to
154 IT8728F. It only supports 3 fans, 16-bit fan mode, and the full speed mode
155 of the fan is not supported (value 0 of pwmX_enable).
157 The IT8620E is another custom design, hardware monitoring part is similar to
158 IT8728F. It only supports 16-bit fan mode.
160 The IT8790E supports up to 3 fans. 16-bit fan mode is always enabled.
162 Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once
163 when the Overtemperature Shutdown limit is crossed.
165 Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
166 triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. When
167 16-bit tachometer counters aren't used, fan readings can be divided by
168 a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give the readings more range or
169 accuracy. With a divider of 2, the lowest representable value is around
170 2600 RPM. Not all RPM values can accurately be represented, so some rounding
173 Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts. An
174 alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or
175 maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
176 zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. All voltage
177 inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution of
178 0.016 volt (except IT8603E, IT8721F/IT8758E and IT8728F: 0.012 volt.) The
179 battery voltage in8 does not have limit registers.
181 On the IT8603E, IT8721F/IT8758E, IT8781F, IT8782F, and IT8783E/F, some
182 voltage inputs are internal and scaled inside the chip:
184 * in7 (optional for IT8781F, IT8782F, and IT8783E/F)
186 * in9 (relevant for IT8603E only)
187 The driver handles this transparently so user-space doesn't have to care.
189 The VID lines (IT8712F/IT8716F/IT8718F/IT8720F) encode the core voltage value:
190 the voltage level your processor should work with. This is hardcoded by
191 the mainboard and/or processor itself. It is a value in volts.
193 If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
194 is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
195 have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware
196 registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 1.5
197 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss
200 Out-of-limit readings can also result in beeping, if the chip is properly
201 wired and configured. Beeping can be enabled or disabled per sensor type
202 (temperatures, voltages and fans.)
204 The IT87xx only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
205 will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
207 To change sensor N to a thermistor, 'echo 4 > tempN_type' where N is 1, 2,
208 or 3. To change sensor N to a thermal diode, 'echo 3 > tempN_type'.
209 Give 0 for unused sensor. Any other value is invalid. To configure this at
210 startup, consult lm_sensors's /etc/sensors.conf. (4 = thermistor;
217 The fan speed control features are limited to manual PWM mode. Automatic
218 "Smart Guardian" mode control handling is only implemented for older chips
219 (see below.) However if you want to go for "manual mode" just write 1 to
222 If you are only able to control the fan speed with very small PWM values,
223 try lowering the PWM base frequency (pwm1_freq). Depending on the fan,
224 it may give you a somewhat greater control range. The same frequency is
225 used to drive all fan outputs, which is why pwm2_freq and pwm3_freq are
229 Automatic fan speed control (old interface)
230 -------------------------------------------
232 The driver supports the old interface to automatic fan speed control
233 which is implemented by IT8705F chips up to revision F and IT8712F
234 chips up to revision G.
236 This interface implements 4 temperature vs. PWM output trip points.
237 The PWM output of trip point 4 is always the maximum value (fan running
238 at full speed) while the PWM output of the other 3 trip points can be
239 freely chosen. The temperature of all 4 trip points can be freely chosen.
240 Additionally, trip point 1 has an hysteresis temperature attached, to
241 prevent fast switching between fan on and off.
243 The chip automatically computes the PWM output value based on the input
244 temperature, based on this simple rule: if the temperature value is
245 between trip point N and trip point N+1 then the PWM output value is
246 the one of trip point N. The automatic control mode is less flexible
247 than the manual control mode, but it reacts faster, is more robust and
248 doesn't use CPU cycles.
250 Trip points must be set properly before switching to automatic fan speed
251 control mode. The driver will perform basic integrity checks before
252 actually switching to automatic control mode.
255 Temperature offset attributes
256 -----------------------------
258 The driver supports temp[1-3]_offset sysfs attributes to adjust the reported
259 temperature for thermal diodes or diode-connected thermal transistors.
260 If a temperature sensor is configured for thermistors, the attribute values
261 are ignored. If the thermal sensor type is Intel PECI, the temperature offset
262 must be programmed to the critical CPU temperature.
