14 w1_therm provides basic temperature conversion for ds18*20 devices.
15 supported family codes:
21 Support is provided through the sysfs w1_slave file. Each open and
22 read sequence will initiate a temperature conversion then provide two
23 lines of ASCII output. The first line contains the nine hex bytes
24 read along with a calculated crc value and YES or NO if it matched.
25 If the crc matched the returned values are retained. The second line
26 displays the retained values along with a temperature in millidegrees
29 Parasite powered devices are limited to one slave performing a
30 temperature conversion at a time. If none of the devices are parasite
31 powered it would be possible to convert all the devices at the same
32 time and then go back to read individual sensors. That isn't
33 currently supported. The driver also doesn't support reduced
34 precision (which would also reduce the conversion time).
36 The module parameter strong_pullup can be set to 0 to disable the
37 strong pullup, 1 to enable autodetection or 2 to force strong pullup.
38 In case of autodetection, the driver will use the "READ POWER SUPPLY"
39 command to check if there are pariste powered devices on the bus.
40 If so, it will activate the master's strong pullup.
41 In case the detection of parasite devices using this command fails
42 (seems to be the case with some DS18S20) the strong pullup can
44 If the strong pullup is enabled, the master's strong pullup will be
45 driven when the conversion is taking place, provided the master driver
46 does support the strong pullup (or it falls back to a pullup
47 resistor). The DS18b20 temperature sensor specification lists a
48 maximum current draw of 1.5mA and that a 5k pullup resistor is not
49 sufficient. The strong pullup is designed to provide the additional
