19 | Module Parameters | ||
20 | ----------------- | ||
21 | |||
22 | * force: bool Force detection. Note this parameter only causes the | ||
23 | detection to be skipped, if the uGuru can't be read | ||
24 | the module initialization (insmod) will still fail. | ||
25 | * fan_sensors: int Tell the driver how many fan speed sensors there are | ||
26 | on your motherboard. Default: 0 (autodetect). | ||
27 | * pwms: int Tell the driver how many fan speed controls (fan | ||
28 | pwms) your motherboard has. Default: 0 (autodetect). | ||
29 | * verbose: int How verbose should the driver be? (0-3): | ||
30 | 0 normal output | ||
31 | 1 + verbose error reporting | ||
32 | 2 + sensors type probing info\n" | ||
33 | 3 + retryable error reporting | ||
34 | Default: 2 (the driver is still in the testing phase) | ||
35 | |||
36 | Notice if you need any of the first three options above please insmod the | ||
37 | driver with verbose set to 3 and mail me <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl> the output of: | ||

41 | Description | ||
42 | ----------- | ||
43 | |||
44 | This driver supports the hardware monitoring features of the Abit uGuru chip | ||
45 | found on Abit uGuru featuring motherboards (most modern Abit motherboards). | ||
46 | |||
47 | The uGuru chip in reality is a Winbond W83L950D in disguise (despite Abit | ||
48 | claiming it is "a new microprocessor designed by the ABIT Engineers"). | ||
49 | Unfortunatly this doesn't help since the W83L950D is a generic | ||
50 | microcontroller with a custom Abit application running on it. | ||
51 | |||
52 | Despite Abit not releasing any information regarding the uGuru, Olle | ||
53 | Sandberg <ollebull@gmail.com> has managed to reverse engineer the sensor part | ||
54 | of the uGuru. Without his work this driver would not have been possible. | ||
55 | |||
56 | Known Issues | ||
57 | ------------ | ||
58 | |||
59 | The voltage and frequency control parts of the Abit uGuru are not supported. | ||

1 | uGuru datasheet | ||
2 | =============== | ||
3 | |||
4 | First of all, what I know about uGuru is no fact based on any help, hints or | ||
5 | datasheet from Abit. The data I have got on uGuru have I assembled through | ||
6 | my weak knowledge in "backwards engineering". | ||
7 | And just for the record, you may have noticed uGuru isn't a chip developed by | ||
8 | Abit, as they claim it to be. It's realy just an microprocessor (uC) created by | ||
9 | Winbond (W83L950D). And no, reading the manual for this specific uC or | ||
10 | mailing Windbond for help won't give any usefull data about uGuru, as it is | ||
11 | the program inside the uC that is responding to calls. | ||
12 | |||

15 | |||
16 | Original version by Olle Sandberg who did the heavy lifting of the initial | ||
17 | reverse engineering. This version has been almost fully rewritten for clarity | ||
18 | and extended with write support and info on more databanks, the write support | ||
19 | is once again reverse engineered by Olle the additional databanks have been | ||
20 | reverse engineered by me. I would like to express my thanks to Olle, this | ||
21 | document and the Linux driver could not have been written without his efforts. | ||
22 | |||
23 | Note: because of the lack of specs only the sensors part of the uGuru is | ||
24 | described here and not the CPU / RAM / etc voltage & frequency control. | ||

28 | |||
29 | Detection | ||
30 | ========= | ||
31 | |||
32 | As far as known the uGuru is always placed at and using the (ISA) I/O-ports | ||
33 | 0xE0 and 0xE4, so we don't have to scan any port-range, just check what the two | ||
34 | ports are holding for detection. We will refer to 0xE0 as CMD (command-port) | ||
35 | and 0xE4 as DATA because Abit refers to them with these names. | ||
36 | |||
37 | If DATA holds 0x00 or 0x08 and CMD holds 0x00 or 0xAC an uGuru could be | ||
38 | present. We have to check for two different values at data-port, because | ||
39 | after a reboot uGuru will hold 0x00 here, but if the driver is removed and | ||
40 | later on attached again data-port will hold 0x08, more about this later. | ||
41 | |||
42 | After wider testing of the Linux kernel driver some variants of the uGuru have | ||
43 | turned up which will hold 0x00 instead of 0xAC at the CMD port, thus we also | ||
44 | have to test CMD for two different values. On these uGuru's DATA will initally | ||
45 | hold 0x09 and will only hold 0x08 after reading CMD first, so CMD must be read | ||
46 | first! | ||
47 | |||
48 | To be really sure an uGuru is present a test read of one or more register | ||
49 | sets should be done. | ||
50 | |||
51 | |||
52 | Reading / Writing | ||
53 | ================= | ||
54 | |||
55 | Addressing | ||
56 | ---------- | ||
57 | |||
58 | The uGuru has a number of different addressing levels. The first addressing | ||
59 | level we will call banks. A bank holds data for one or more sensors. The data | ||
60 | in a bank for a sensor is one or more bytes large. | ||
61 | |||
62 | The number of bytes is fixed for a given bank, you should always read or write | ||
63 | that many bytes, reading / writing more will fail, the results when writing | ||
64 | less then the number of bytes for a given bank are undetermined. | ||
65 | |||
66 | See below for all known bank addresses, numbers of sensors in that bank, | ||
67 | number of bytes data per sensor and contents/meaning of those bytes. | ||
68 | |||
69 | Although both this document and the kernel driver have kept the sensor | ||
70 | terminoligy for the addressing within a bank this is not 100% correct, in | ||
71 | bank 0x24 for example the addressing within the bank selects a PWM output not | ||
72 | a sensor. | ||
73 | |||
74 | Notice that some banks have both a read and a write address this is how the | ||
75 | uGuru determines if a read from or a write to the bank is taking place, thus | ||
76 | when reading you should always use the read address and when writing the | ||
77 | write address. The write address is always one (1) more then the read address. | ||
78 | |||
79 | |||
80 | uGuru ready | ||
81 | ----------- | ||
82 | |||
83 | Before you can read from or write to the uGuru you must first put the uGuru | ||
84 | in "ready" mode. | ||
85 | |||
86 | To put the uGuru in ready mode first write 0x00 to DATA and then wait for DATA | ||
87 | to hold 0x09, DATA should read 0x09 within 250 read cycles. | ||
88 | |||
89 | Next CMD _must_ be read and should hold 0xAC, usually CMD will hold 0xAC the | ||
90 | first read but sometimes it takes a while before CMD holds 0xAC and thus it | ||
91 | has to be read a number of times (max 50). | ||
92 | |||
93 | After reading CMD, DATA should hold 0x08 which means that the uGuru is ready | ||
94 | for input. As above DATA will usually hold 0x08 the first read but not always. | ||
95 | This step can be skipped, but it is undetermined what happens if the uGuru has | ||
96 | not yet reported 0x08 at DATA and you proceed with writing a bank address. | ||
97 | |||
98 | |||
99 | Sending bank and sensor addresses to the uGuru | ||
100 | ---------------------------------------------- | ||
101 | |||
102 | First the uGuru must be in "ready" mode as described above, DATA should hold | ||
103 | 0x08 indicating that the uGuru wants input, in this case the bank address. | ||
104 | |||
105 | Next write the bank address to DATA. After the bank address has been written | ||
106 | wait for to DATA to hold 0x08 again indicating that it wants / is ready for | ||
107 | more input (max 250 reads). | ||
108 | |||
109 | Once DATA holds 0x08 again write the sensor address to CMD. | ||
110 | |||
111 | |||
112 | Reading | ||
113 | ------- | ||
114 | |||
115 | First send the bank and sensor addresses as described above. | ||
116 | Then for each byte of data you want to read wait for DATA to hold 0x01 | ||
117 | which indicates that the uGuru is ready to be read (max 250 reads) and once | ||
118 | DATA holds 0x01 read the byte from CMD. | ||
119 | |||
120 | Once all bytes have been read data will hold 0x09, but there is no reason to | ||
121 | test for this. Notice that the number of bytes is bank address dependent see | ||
122 | above and below. | ||
123 | |||
124 | After completing a successfull read it is advised to put the uGuru back in | ||
125 | ready mode, so that it is ready for the next read / write cycle. This way | ||
126 | if your program / driver is unloaded and later loaded again the detection | ||
127 | algorithm described above will still work. | ||
128 | |||
129 | |||
130 | |||
131 | Writing | ||
132 | ------- | ||
133 | |||
134 | First send the bank and sensor addresses as described above. | ||
135 | Then for each byte of data you want to write wait for DATA to hold 0x00 | ||
136 | which indicates that the uGuru is ready to be written (max 250 reads) and | ||
137 | once DATA holds 0x00 write the byte to CMD. | ||
138 | |||
139 | Once all bytes have been written wait for DATA to hold 0x01 (max 250 reads) | ||
140 | don't ask why this is the way it is. | ||
141 | |||
142 | Once DATA holds 0x01 read CMD it should hold 0xAC now. | ||
143 | |||
144 | After completing a successfull write it is advised to put the uGuru back in | ||
145 | ready mode, so that it is ready for the next read / write cycle. This way | ||
146 | if your program / driver is unloaded and later loaded again the detection | ||
147 | algorithm described above will still work. | ||
148 | |||
149 | |||
150 | Gotchas | ||
151 | ------- | ||
152 | |||
153 | After wider testing of the Linux kernel driver some variants of the uGuru have | ||
154 | turned up which do not hold 0x08 at DATA within 250 reads after writing the | ||
155 | bank address. With these versions this happens quite frequent, using larger | ||
156 | timeouts doesn't help, they just go offline for a second or 2, doing some | ||
157 | internal callibration or whatever. Your code should be prepared to handle | ||
158 | this and in case of no response in this specific case just goto sleep for a | ||
159 | while and then retry. | ||
160 | |||
161 | |||
162 | Address Map | ||
163 | =========== | ||
164 | |||
165 | Bank 0x20 Alarms (R) | ||
166 | -------------------- | ||
167 | This bank contains 0 sensors, iow the sensor address is ignored (but must be | ||
168 | written) just use 0. Bank 0x20 contains 3 bytes: | ||
169 | |||
170 | Byte 0: | ||
171 | This byte holds the alarm flags for sensor 0-7 of Sensor Bank1, with bit 0 | ||
172 | corresponding to sensor 0, 1 to 1, etc. | ||
173 | |||
174 | Byte 1: | ||
175 | This byte holds the alarm flags for sensor 8-15 of Sensor Bank1, with bit 0 | ||
176 | corresponding to sensor 8, 1 to 9, etc. | ||
177 | |||
178 | Byte 2: | ||
179 | This byte holds the alarm flags for sensor 0-5 of Sensor Bank2, with bit 0 | ||
180 | corresponding to sensor 0, 1 to 1, etc. | ||
181 | |||
182 | |||
183 | Bank 0x21 Sensor Bank1 Values / Readings (R) | ||
184 | -------------------------------------------- | ||
185 | This bank contains 16 sensors, for each sensor it contains 1 byte. | ||
186 | So far the following sensors are known to be available on all motherboards: | ||
187 | Sensor 0 CPU temp | ||
188 | Sensor 1 SYS temp | ||
189 | Sensor 3 CPU core volt | ||
190 | Sensor 4 DDR volt | ||
191 | Sensor 10 DDR Vtt volt | ||
192 | Sensor 15 PWM temp | ||
193 | |||
194 | Byte 0: | ||
195 | This byte holds the reading from the sensor. Sensors in Bank1 can be both | ||
196 | volt and temp sensors, this is motherboard specific. The uGuru however does | ||
197 | seem to know (be programmed with) what kindoff sensor is attached see Sensor | ||
198 | Bank1 Settings description. | ||
199 | |||
200 | Volt sensors use a linear scale, a reading 0 corresponds with 0 volt and a | ||
201 | reading of 255 with 3494 mV. The sensors for higher voltages however are | ||
202 | connected through a division circuit. The currently known division circuits | ||
203 | in use result in ranges of: 0-4361mV, 0-6248mV or 0-14510mV. 3.3 volt sources | ||
204 | use the 0-4361mV range, 5 volt the 0-6248mV and 12 volt the 0-14510mV . | ||
205 | |||
206 | Temp sensors also use a linear scale, a reading of 0 corresponds with 0 degree | ||
207 | Celsius and a reading of 255 with a reading of 255 degrees Celsius. | ||
208 | |||

302 | Warning for the adventerous | ||
303 | =========================== | ||
304 | |||
305 | A word of caution to those who want to experiment and see if they can figure | ||
306 | the voltage / clock programming out, I tried reading and only reading banks | ||
307 | 0-0x30 with the reading code used for the sensor banks (0x20-0x28) and this | ||
308 | resulted in a _permanent_ reprogramming of the voltages, luckily I had the | ||
309 | sensors part configured so that it would shutdown my system on any out of spec | ||
310 | voltages which proprably safed my computer (after a reboot I managed to | ||
311 | immediatly enter the bios and reload the defaults). This probably means that | ||
312 | the read/write cycle for the non sensor part is different from the sensor part. | ||
