Useful for boards - that don't set the address in the BIOS. Does not do a - PCI force; the device must still be present in lspci. - Don't use this unless the driver complains that the - base address is not set. - Example: 'modprobe sis5595 force_addr=0x290' - - -Description ------------ - -The SiS5595 southbridge has integrated hardware monitor functions. It also -has an I2C bus, but this driver only supports the hardware monitor. For the -I2C bus driver see i2c-sis5595. - -The SiS5595 implements zero or one temperature sensor, two fan speed -sensors, four or five voltage sensors, and alarms. - -On the first version of the chip, there are four voltage sensors and one -temperature sensor. - -On the second version of the chip, the temperature sensor (temp) and the -fifth voltage sensor (in4) share a pin which is configurable, but not -through the driver. Sorry. The driver senses the configuration of the pin, -which was hopefully set by the BIOS. - -Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once -when the max is crossed; it is also triggered when it drops below the min -value. Measurements are guaranteed between -55 and +125 degrees, with a -resolution of 1 degree. - -Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is -triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan -readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give -the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be -represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest -representable value is around 2600 RPM. - -Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts. An -alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or -maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to -zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. All voltage -inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution of -0.016 volt. - -In addition to the alarms described above, there is a BTI alarm, which gets -triggered when an external chip has crossed its limits. Usually, this is -connected to some LM75-like chip; if at least one crosses its limits, this -bit gets set. - -If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register -is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already -have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware -registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 1.5 -seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss -once-only alarms. - -The SiS5595 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often -will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. - -Problems --------- -Some chips refuse to be enabled. We don't know why. -The driver will recognize this and print a message in dmesg. - |
