| 58 | Description |
| 59 | ----------- |
| 60 | |
| 61 | The chips supported by this driver are very similar. The Maxim MAX1617 is |
| 62 | the oldest; it has the problem that it is not very well detectable. The |
| 63 | MAX1617A solves that. The ADM1021 is a straight clone of the MAX1617A. |
| 64 | Ditto for the THMC10. From here on, we will refer to all these chips as |
| 65 | ADM1021-clones. |
| 66 | |
| 67 | The ADM1021 and MAX1617A reports a die code, which is a sort of revision |
| 68 | code. This can help us pinpoint problems; it is not very useful |
| 69 | otherwise. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | ADM1021-clones implement two temperature sensors. One of them is internal, |
| 72 | and measures the temperature of the chip itself; the other is external and |
| 73 | is realised in the form of a transistor-like device. A special alarm |
| 74 | indicates whether the remote sensor is connected. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | Each sensor has its own low and high limits. When they are crossed, the |
| 77 | corresponding alarm is set and remains on as long as the temperature stays |
| 78 | out of range. Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. Measurements |
| 79 | are possible between -65 and +127 degrees, with a resolution of one degree. |
| 80 | |
| 81 | If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register |
| 82 | is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already |
| 83 | have disappeared! |
| 84 | |
| 85 | This driver only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often |
| 86 | will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. It is possible to make |
| 87 | ADM1021-clones do faster measurements, but there is really no good reason |
| 88 | for that. |

| Jean Delvare | d7ce033 | 2011-04-29 16:33:36 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 94 | Some Xeon processors based on the Netburst (early Pentium 4, from 2001 to |
| 95 | 2003) microarchitecture had real MAX1617, ADM1021, or compatible chips |
| 96 | within them, with two temperature sensors. Other Xeon processors of this |
| 97 | era (with 400 MHz FSB) had chips with only one temperature sensor. |

| Jean Delvare | d7ce033 | 2011-04-29 16:33:36 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 99 | If you have such an old Xeon, and you get two valid temperatures when |
| 100 | loading the adm1021 module, then things are good. |
| R.Marek@sh.cvut.cz | 7f15b66 | 2005-05-26 12:42:19 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 101 | |
| Jean Delvare | d7ce033 | 2011-04-29 16:33:36 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 102 | If nothing happens when loading the adm1021 module, and you are certain |
| 103 | that your specific Xeon processor model includes compatible sensors, you |
| 104 | will have to explicitly instantiate the sensor chips from user-space. See |
| 105 | method 4 in Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices. Possible slave |
| 106 | addresses are 0x18, 0x1a, 0x29, 0x2b, 0x4c, or 0x4e. It is likely that |
| 107 | only temp2 will be correct and temp1 will have to be ignored. |

| Jean Delvare | d7ce033 | 2011-04-29 16:33:36 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 109 | Previous generations of the Xeon processor (based on Pentium II/III) |
| 110 | didn't have these sensors. Next generations of Xeon processors (533 MHz |
| 111 | FSB and faster) lost them, until the Core-based generation which |
| 112 | introduced integrated digital thermal sensors. These are supported by |
| 113 | the coretemp driver. |
