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