| 12 | Description |
| 13 | ----------- |
| 14 | |
| 15 | This driver implements support for the Asus ASB100 and ASB100-A "Bach". |
| 16 | These are custom ASICs available only on Asus mainboards. Asus refuses to |
| 17 | supply a datasheet for these chips. Thanks go to many people who helped |
| 18 | investigate their hardware, including: |

| 24 | The ASB100 implements seven voltage sensors, three fan rotation speed |
| 25 | sensors, four temperature sensors, VID lines and alarms. In addition to |
| 26 | these, the ASB100-A also implements a single PWM controller for fans 2 and |
| 27 | 3 (i.e. one setting controls both.) If you have a plain ASB100, the PWM |
| 28 | controller will simply not work (or maybe it will for you... it doesn't for |
| 29 | me). |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Temperatures are measured and reported in degrees Celsius. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Fan speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is |
| 34 | triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report values in volts. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | The VID lines encode the core voltage value: the voltage level your |
| 39 | processor should work with. This is hardcoded by the mainboard and/or |
| 40 | processor itself. It is a value in volts. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Alarms: (TODO question marks indicate may or may not work) |
| 43 | |
| 44 | 0x0001 => in0 (?) |
| 45 | 0x0002 => in1 (?) |
| 46 | 0x0004 => in2 |
| 47 | 0x0008 => in3 |
| 48 | 0x0010 => temp1 (1) |
| 49 | 0x0020 => temp2 |
| 50 | 0x0040 => fan1 |
| 51 | 0x0080 => fan2 |
| 52 | 0x0100 => in4 |
| 53 | 0x0200 => in5 (?) (2) |
| 54 | 0x0400 => in6 (?) (2) |
| 55 | 0x0800 => fan3 |
| 56 | 0x1000 => chassis switch |
| 57 | 0x2000 => temp3 |
| 58 | |
| 59 | Alarm Notes: |
| 60 | |
| 61 | (1) This alarm will only trigger if the hysteresis value is 127C. |
| 62 | I.e. it behaves the same as w83781d. |
| 63 | |
| 64 | (2) The min and max registers for these values appear to |
| 65 | be read-only or otherwise stuck at 0x00. |
| 66 | |
| 67 | TODO: |
| 68 | * Experiment with fan divisors > 8. |
| 69 | * Experiment with temp. sensor types. |
| 70 | * Are there really 13 voltage inputs? Probably not... |
| 71 | * Cleanups, no doubt... |
