42 This driver implements support for the Nuvoton NCT6775F, NCT6776F, and NCT6779D
43 and compatible super I/O chips.
45 The chips support up to 25 temperature monitoring sources. Up to 6 of those are
46 direct temperature sensor inputs, the others are special sources such as PECI,
47 PCH, and SMBUS. Depending on the chip type, 2 to 6 of the temperature sources
48 can be monitored and compared against minimum, maximum, and critical
49 temperatures. The driver reports up to 10 of the temperatures to the user.
50 There are 4 to 5 fan rotation speed sensors, 8 to 15 analog voltage sensors,
51 one VID, alarms with beep warnings (control unimplemented), and some automatic
52 fan regulation strategies (plus manual fan control mode).
54 The temperature sensor sources on all chips are configurable. The configured
55 source for each of the temperature sensors is provided in tempX_label.
57 Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is
58 either 1 degC or 0.5 degC, depending on the temperature source and
59 configuration. An alarm is triggered when the temperature gets higher than
60 the high limit; it stays on until the temperature falls below the hysteresis
61 value. Alarms are only supported for temp1 to temp6, depending on the chip type.
63 Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
64 triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. On
65 NCT6775F, fan readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8,
66 16, 32, 64 or 128) to give the readings more range or accuracy; the other chips
67 do not have a fan speed divider. The driver sets the most suitable fan divisor
68 itself; specifically, it increases the divider value each time a fan speed
69 reading returns an invalid value, and it reduces it if the fan speed reading
70 is lower than optimal. Some fans might not be present because they share pins
73 Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts.
74 An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
77 The driver supports automatic fan control mode known as Thermal Cruise.
78 In this mode, the chip attempts to keep the measured temperature in a
79 predefined temperature range. If the temperature goes out of range, fan
80 is driven slower/faster to reach the predefined range again.
82 The mode works for fan1-fan5.
87 pwm[1-5] - this file stores PWM duty cycle or DC value (fan speed) in range:
88 0 (lowest speed) to 255 (full)
90 pwm[1-5]_enable - this file controls mode of fan/temperature control:
91 * 0 Fan control disabled (fans set to maximum speed)
92 * 1 Manual mode, write to pwm[0-5] any value 0-255
93 * 2 "Thermal Cruise" mode
94 * 3 "Fan Speed Cruise" mode
95 * 4 "Smart Fan III" mode (NCT6775F only)
96 * 5 "Smart Fan IV" mode
98 pwm[1-5]_mode - controls if output is PWM or DC level
102 Common fan control attributes
103 -----------------------------
105 pwm[1-5]_temp_sel Temperature source. Value is temperature sensor index.
106 For example, select '1' for temp1_input.
107 pwm[1-5]_weight_temp_sel
108 Secondary temperature source. Value is temperature
109 sensor index. For example, select '1' for temp1_input.
110 Set to 0 to disable secondary temperature control.
112 If secondary temperature functionality is enabled, it is controlled with the
113 following attributes.
115 pwm[1-5]_weight_duty_step
117 pwm[1-5]_weight_temp_step
118 Temperature step size. With each step over
119 temp_step_base, the value of weight_duty_step is added
120 to the current pwm value.
121 pwm[1-5]_weight_temp_step_base
122 Temperature at which secondary temperature control kicks
124 pwm[1-5]_weight_temp_step_tol
125 Temperature step tolerance.
127 Thermal Cruise mode (2)
128 -----------------------
130 If the temperature is in the range defined by:
132 pwm[1-5]_target_temp Target temperature, unit millidegree Celsius
134 pwm[1-5]_temp_tolerance
135 Target temperature tolerance, unit millidegree Celsius
137 there are no changes to fan speed. Once the temperature leaves the interval, fan
138 speed increases (if temperature is higher that desired) or decreases (if
139 temperature is lower than desired), using the following limits and time
142 pwm[1-5]_start fan pwm start value (range 1 - 255), to start fan
143 when the temperature is above defined range.
144 pwm[1-5]_floor lowest fan pwm (range 0 - 255) if temperature is below
145 the defined range. If set to 0, the fan is expected to
146 stop if the temperature is below the defined range.
147 pwm[1-5]_step_up_time milliseconds before fan speed is increased
148 pwm[1-5]_step_down_time milliseconds before fan speed is decreased
149 pwm[1-5]_stop_time how many milliseconds must elapse to switch
150 corresponding fan off (when the temperature was below
153 Speed Cruise mode (3)
154 ---------------------
156 This modes tries to keep the fan speed constant.
158 fan[1-5]_target Target fan speed
160 Target speed tolerance
163 Untested; use at your own risk.
165 Smart Fan IV mode (5)
166 ---------------------
168 This mode offers multiple slopes to control the fan speed. The slopes can be
169 controlled by setting the pwm and temperature attributes. When the temperature
170 rises, the chip will calculate the DC/PWM output based on the current slope.
171 There are up to seven data points depending on the chip type. Subsequent data
172 points should be set to higher temperatures and higher pwm values to achieve
173 higher fan speeds with increasing temperature. The last data point reflects
174 critical temperature mode, in which the fans should run at full speed.
176 pwm[1-5]_auto_point[1-7]_pwm
177 pwm value to be set if temperature reaches matching
179 pwm[1-5]_auto_point[1-7]_temp
180 Temperature over which the matching pwm is enabled.
181 pwm[1-5]_temp_tolerance
182 Temperature tolerance, unit millidegree Celsius
183 pwm[1-5]_crit_temp_tolerance
184 Temperature tolerance for critical temperature,
185 unit millidegree Celsius
187 pwm[1-5]_step_up_time milliseconds before fan speed is increased
188 pwm[1-5]_step_down_time milliseconds before fan speed is decreased
193 On various ASUS boards with NCT6776F, it appears that CPUTIN is not really
194 connected to anything and floats, or that it is connected to some non-standard
195 temperature measurement device. As a result, the temperature reported on CPUTIN
196 will not reflect a usable value. It often reports unreasonably high
197 temperatures, and in some cases the reported temperature declines if the actual
198 temperature increases (similar to the raw PECI temperature value - see PECI
199 specification for details). CPUTIN should therefore be be ignored on ASUS
200 boards. The CPU temperature on ASUS boards is reported from PECI 0.
