92 This driver implements support for the Nuvoton NCT6775F, NCT6776F, and NCT6779D
93 and compatible super I/O chips.
95 The chips support up to 25 temperature monitoring sources. Up to 6 of those are
96 direct temperature sensor inputs, the others are special sources such as PECI,
97 PCH, and SMBUS. Depending on the chip type, 2 to 6 of the temperature sources
98 can be monitored and compared against minimum, maximum, and critical
99 temperatures. The driver reports up to 10 of the temperatures to the user.
100 There are 4 to 5 fan rotation speed sensors, 8 to 15 analog voltage sensors,
101 one VID, alarms with beep warnings (control unimplemented), and some automatic
102 fan regulation strategies (plus manual fan control mode).
104 The temperature sensor sources on all chips are configurable. The configured
105 source for each of the temperature sensors is provided in tempX_label.
107 Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is
108 either 1 degC or 0.5 degC, depending on the temperature source and
109 configuration. An alarm is triggered when the temperature gets higher than
110 the high limit; it stays on until the temperature falls below the hysteresis
111 value. Alarms are only supported for temp1 to temp6, depending on the chip type.
113 Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
114 triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. On
115 NCT6775F, fan readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8,
116 16, 32, 64 or 128) to give the readings more range or accuracy; the other chips
117 do not have a fan speed divider. The driver sets the most suitable fan divisor
118 itself; specifically, it increases the divider value each time a fan speed
119 reading returns an invalid value, and it reduces it if the fan speed reading
120 is lower than optimal. Some fans might not be present because they share pins
121 with other functions.
123 Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts.
124 An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
127 The driver supports automatic fan control mode known as Thermal Cruise.
128 In this mode, the chip attempts to keep the measured temperature in a
129 predefined temperature range. If the temperature goes out of range, fan
130 is driven slower/faster to reach the predefined range again.
132 The mode works for fan1-fan5.
138 - this file stores PWM duty cycle or DC value (fan speed) in range:
140 0 (lowest speed) to 255 (full)
143 - this file controls mode of fan/temperature control:
145 * 0 Fan control disabled (fans set to maximum speed)
146 * 1 Manual mode, write to pwm[0-5] any value 0-255
147 * 2 "Thermal Cruise" mode
148 * 3 "Fan Speed Cruise" mode
149 * 4 "Smart Fan III" mode (NCT6775F only)
150 * 5 "Smart Fan IV" mode
153 - controls if output is PWM or DC level
158 Common fan control attributes
159 -----------------------------
162 Temperature source. Value is temperature sensor index.
163 For example, select '1' for temp1_input.
165 pwm[1-7]_weight_temp_sel
166 Secondary temperature source. Value is temperature
167 sensor index. For example, select '1' for temp1_input.
168 Set to 0 to disable secondary temperature control.
170 If secondary temperature functionality is enabled, it is controlled with the
171 following attributes.
173 pwm[1-7]_weight_duty_step
176 pwm[1-7]_weight_temp_step
177 Temperature step size. With each step over
178 temp_step_base, the value of weight_duty_step is added
179 to the current pwm value.
181 pwm[1-7]_weight_temp_step_base
182 Temperature at which secondary temperature control kicks
185 pwm[1-7]_weight_temp_step_tol
186 Temperature step tolerance.
188 Thermal Cruise mode (2)
189 -----------------------
191 If the temperature is in the range defined by:
194 Target temperature, unit millidegree Celsius
197 pwm[1-7]_temp_tolerance
198 Target temperature tolerance, unit millidegree Celsius
200 There are no changes to fan speed. Once the temperature leaves the interval, fan
201 speed increases (if temperature is higher that desired) or decreases (if
202 temperature is lower than desired), using the following limits and time
206 fan pwm start value (range 1 - 255), to start fan
207 when the temperature is above defined range.
210 lowest fan pwm (range 0 - 255) if temperature is below
211 the defined range. If set to 0, the fan is expected to
212 stop if the temperature is below the defined range.
214 pwm[1-7]_step_up_time
215 milliseconds before fan speed is increased
217 pwm[1-7]_step_down_time
218 milliseconds before fan speed is decreased
221 how many milliseconds must elapse to switch
222 corresponding fan off (when the temperature was below
225 Speed Cruise mode (3)
226 ---------------------
228 This modes tries to keep the fan speed constant.
234 Target speed tolerance
237 Untested; use at your own risk.
239 Smart Fan IV mode (5)
240 ---------------------
242 This mode offers multiple slopes to control the fan speed. The slopes can be
243 controlled by setting the pwm and temperature attributes. When the temperature
244 rises, the chip will calculate the DC/PWM output based on the current slope.
245 There are up to seven data points depending on the chip type. Subsequent data
246 points should be set to higher temperatures and higher pwm values to achieve
247 higher fan speeds with increasing temperature. The last data point reflects
248 critical temperature mode, in which the fans should run at full speed.
250 pwm[1-7]_auto_point[1-7]_pwm
251 pwm value to be set if temperature reaches matching
254 pwm[1-7]_auto_point[1-7]_temp
255 Temperature over which the matching pwm is enabled.
257 pwm[1-7]_temp_tolerance
258 Temperature tolerance, unit millidegree Celsius
260 pwm[1-7]_crit_temp_tolerance
261 Temperature tolerance for critical temperature,
262 unit millidegree Celsius
264 pwm[1-7]_step_up_time
265 milliseconds before fan speed is increased
267 pwm[1-7]_step_down_time
268 milliseconds before fan speed is decreased
273 On various ASUS boards with NCT6776F, it appears that CPUTIN is not really
274 connected to anything and floats, or that it is connected to some non-standard
275 temperature measurement device. As a result, the temperature reported on CPUTIN
276 will not reflect a usable value. It often reports unreasonably high
277 temperatures, and in some cases the reported temperature declines if the actual
278 temperature increases (similar to the raw PECI temperature value - see PECI
279 specification for details). CPUTIN should therefore be ignored on ASUS
280 boards. The CPU temperature on ASUS boards is reported from PECI 0.
