15 | Description | ||
16 | ----------- | ||
17 | |||
18 | This driver implements support for the Maxim 6650/6651 | ||
19 | |||
20 | The 2 devices are very similar, but the Maxim 6550 has a reduced feature | ||
21 | set, e.g. only one fan-input, instead of 4 for the 6651. | ||
22 | |||
23 | The driver is not able to distinguish between the 2 devices. | ||
24 | |||
25 | The driver provides the following sensor accesses in sysfs: | ||
26 | |||
27 | fan1_input ro fan tachometer speed in RPM | ||
28 | fan2_input ro " | ||
29 | fan3_input ro " | ||
30 | fan4_input ro " | ||
31 | fan1_target rw desired fan speed in RPM (closed loop mode only) | ||
32 | pwm1_enable rw regulator mode, 0=full on, 1=open loop, 2=closed loop | ||
33 | pwm1 rw relative speed (0-255), 255=max. speed. | ||
34 | Used in open loop mode only. | ||
35 | fan1_div rw sets the speed range the inputs can handle. Legal | ||
36 | values are 1, 2, 4, and 8. Use lower values for | ||
37 | faster fans. | ||
38 | |||
39 | Module parameters | ||
40 | ----------------- | ||
41 | |||
42 | If your board has a BIOS that initializes the MAX6650/6651 correctly, you can | ||
43 | simply load your module without parameters. It won't touch the configuration | ||
44 | registers then. If your board BIOS doesn't initialize the chip, or you want | ||
45 | different settings, you can set the following parameters: | ||
46 | |||
47 | voltage_12V: 5=5V fan, 12=12V fan, 0=don't change | ||
48 | prescaler: Possible values are 1,2,4,8,16, or 0 for don't change | ||
49 | clock: The clock frequency in Hz of the chip the driver should assume [254000] | ||
50 | |||
51 | Please have a look at the MAX6650/6651 data sheet and make sure that you fully | ||
52 | understand the meaning of these parameters before you attempt to change them. | ||
