12 | Description | ||
13 | ----------- | ||
14 | |||
15 | SMSC SCH5636 Super I/O chips include an embedded microcontroller for | ||
16 | hardware monitoring solutions, allowing motherboard manufacturers to create | ||
17 | their own custom hwmon solution based upon the SCH5636. | ||
18 | |||
19 | Currently the sch5636 driver only supports the Fujitsu Theseus SCH5636 based | ||
20 | hwmon solution. The sch5636 driver runs a sanity check on loading to ensure | ||
21 | it is dealing with a Fujitsu Theseus and not with another custom SCH5636 based | ||
22 | hwmon solution. | ||
23 | |||
24 | The Fujitsu Theseus can monitor up to 5 voltages, 8 fans and 16 | ||
25 | temperatures. Note that the driver detects how many fan headers / | ||
26 | temperature sensors are actually implemented on the motherboard, so you will | ||
27 | likely see fewer temperature and fan inputs. | ||
28 | |||
29 | An application note describing the Theseus' registers, as well as an | ||
30 | application note describing the protocol for communicating with the | ||
31 | microcontroller is available upon request. Please mail me if you want a copy. | ||
