| List of adapter,address pairs to force chips into ADM1022 mode with |
| second remote temperature. This does not work for original THMC50 chips. |
| |
| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| The THMC50 implements: an internal temperature sensor, support for an |
| external diode-type temperature sensor (compatible w/ the diode sensor inside |
| many processors), and a controllable fan/analog_out DAC. For the temperature |
| sensors, limits can be set through the appropriate Overtemperature Shutdown |
| register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be set and read to half-degree |
| accuracy. An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the |
| temperature gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on |
| until the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value. All temperatures are in |
| degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a range of -55 to +125 degrees. |
| |
| The THMC50 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often |
| will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. |
| |
| The THMC50 is usually used in combination with LM78-like chips, to measure |
| the temperature of the processor(s). |
| |
| The ADM1022 works the same as THMC50 but it is faster (5 Hz instead of |
| 1 Hz for THMC50). It can be also put in a new mode to handle additional |
| remote temperature sensor. The driver use the mode set by BIOS by default. |
| |
| In case the BIOS is broken and the mode is set incorrectly, you can force |
| the mode with additional remote temperature with adm1022_temp3 parameter. |
| A typical symptom of wrong setting is a fan forced to full speed. |
| |
| Driver Features |
| --------------- |
| |
| The driver provides up to three temperatures: |
| |
| temp1 -- internal |
| temp2 -- remote |
| temp3 -- 2nd remote only for ADM1022 |
| |
| pwm1 -- fan speed (0 = stop, 255 = full) |
| pwm1_mode -- always 0 (DC mode) |
| |
| The value of 0 for pwm1 also forces FAN_OFF signal from the chip, |
| so it stops fans even if the value 0 into the ANALOG_OUT register does not. |
| |
| The driver was tested on Compaq AP550 with two ADM1022 chips (one works |
| in the temp3 mode), five temperature readings and two fans. |
