14 | Description | ||
15 | ----------- | ||
16 | |||
17 | This driver implements support for the Texas Instruments amc6821 chip. | ||
18 | The chip has one on-chip and one remote temperature sensor and one pwm fan | ||
19 | regulator. | ||
20 | The pwm can be controlled either from software or automatically. | ||
21 | |||
22 | The driver provides the following sensor accesses in sysfs: | ||
23 | |||
24 | temp1_input ro on-chip temperature | ||
25 | temp1_min rw " | ||
26 | temp1_max rw " | ||
27 | temp1_crit rw " | ||
28 | temp1_min_alarm ro " | ||
29 | temp1_max_alarm ro " | ||
30 | temp1_crit_alarm ro " | ||
31 | |||
32 | temp2_input ro remote temperature | ||
33 | temp2_min rw " | ||
34 | temp2_max rw " | ||
35 | temp2_crit rw " | ||
36 | temp2_min_alarm ro " | ||
37 | temp2_max_alarm ro " | ||
38 | temp2_crit_alarm ro " | ||
39 | temp2_fault ro " | ||
40 | |||
41 | fan1_input ro tachometer speed | ||
42 | fan1_min rw " | ||
43 | fan1_max rw " | ||
44 | fan1_fault ro " | ||
45 | fan1_div rw Fan divisor can be either 2 or 4. | ||
46 | |||
47 | pwm1 rw pwm1 | ||
48 | pwm1_enable rw regulator mode, 1=open loop, 2=fan controlled | ||
49 | by remote temperature, 3=fan controlled by | ||
50 | combination of the on-chip temperature and | ||
51 | remote-sensor temperature, | ||
52 | pwm1_auto_channels_temp ro 1 if pwm_enable==2, 3 if pwm_enable==3 | ||
53 | pwm1_auto_point1_pwm ro Hardwired to 0, shared for both | ||
54 | temperature channels. | ||
55 | pwm1_auto_point2_pwm rw This value is shared for both temperature | ||
56 | channels. | ||
57 | pwm1_auto_point3_pwm rw Hardwired to 255, shared for both | ||
58 | temperature channels. | ||
59 | |||
60 | temp1_auto_point1_temp ro Hardwired to temp2_auto_point1_temp | ||
61 | which is rw. Below this temperature fan stops. | ||
62 | temp1_auto_point2_temp rw The low-temperature limit of the proportional | ||
63 | range. Below this temperature | ||
64 | pwm1 = pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. It can go from | ||
65 | 0 degree C to 124 degree C in steps of | ||
66 | 4 degree C. Read it out after writing to get | ||
67 | the actual value. | ||
68 | temp1_auto_point3_temp rw Above this temperature fan runs at maximum | ||
69 | speed. It can go from temp1_auto_point2_temp. | ||
70 | It can only have certain discrete values | ||
71 | which depend on temp1_auto_point2_temp and | ||
72 | pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. Read it out after | ||
73 | writing to get the actual value. | ||
74 | |||
75 | temp2_auto_point1_temp rw Must be between 0 degree C and 63 degree C and | ||
76 | it defines the passive cooling temperature. | ||
77 | Below this temperature the fan stops in | ||
78 | the closed loop mode. | ||
79 | temp2_auto_point2_temp rw The low-temperature limit of the proportional | ||
80 | range. Below this temperature | ||
81 | pwm1 = pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. It can go from | ||
82 | 0 degree C to 124 degree C in steps | ||
83 | of 4 degree C. | ||
84 | |||
85 | temp2_auto_point3_temp rw Above this temperature fan runs at maximum | ||
86 | speed. It can only have certain discrete | ||
87 | values which depend on temp2_auto_point2_temp | ||
88 | and pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. Read it out after | ||
89 | writing to get actual value. | ||

92 | Module parameters | ||
93 | ----------------- | ||
94 | |||
95 | If your board has a BIOS that initializes the amc6821 correctly, you should | ||
96 | load the module with: init=0. | ||
97 | |||
98 | If your board BIOS doesn't initialize the chip, or you want | ||
99 | different settings, you can set the following parameters: | ||
100 | init=1, | ||
101 | pwminv: 0 default pwm output, 1 inverts pwm output. | ||
