We will refer to them collectively 85 as Winbond chips. 86 87 The chips implement 3 to 4 temperature sensors (9 for NCT6775F and NCT6776F), 88 2 to 5 fan rotation speed sensors, 8 to 10 analog voltage sensors, one VID 89 (except for 627UHG), alarms with beep warnings (control unimplemented), 90 and some automatic fan regulation strategies (plus manual fan control mode). 91 92 The temperature sensor sources on W82677HG-B, NCT6775F, and NCT6776F are 93 configurable. temp4 and higher attributes are only reported if its temperature 94 source differs from the temperature sources of the already reported temperature 95 sensors. The configured source for each of the temperature sensors is provided 96 in tempX_label. 97 98 Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is 1 99 degC for temp1 and 0.5 degC for temp2 and temp3. For temp4 and higher, 100 resolution is 1 degC for W83667HG-B and 0.0 degC for NCT6775F and NCT6776F. 101 An alarm is triggered when the temperature gets higher than high limit; 102 it stays on until the temperature falls below the hysteresis value. 103 Alarms are only supported for temp1, temp2, and temp3. 104 105 Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is 106 triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan 107 readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 108 128) to give the readings more range or accuracy. The driver sets the most 109 suitable fan divisor itself. Some fans might not be present because they 110 share pins with other functions. 111 112 Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts. 113 An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum 114 or maximum limit. 115 116 The driver supports automatic fan control mode known as Thermal Cruise. 117 In this mode, the chip attempts to keep the measured temperature in a 118 predefined temperature range. If the temperature goes out of range, fan 119 is driven slower/faster to reach the predefined range again. 120 121 The mode works for fan1-fan4. Mapping of temperatures to pwm outputs is as 122 follows:: 123 124 temp1 -> pwm1 125 temp2 -> pwm2 126 temp3 -> pwm3 (not on 627UHG) 127 prog -> pwm4 (not on 667HG and 667HG-B; the programmable setting is not 128 supported by the driver) 129 130 /sys files 131 ---------- 132 133 name 134 this is a standard hwmon device entry, it contains the name of 135 the device (see the prefix in the list of supported devices at 136 the top of this file) 137 138 pwm[1-4] 139 this file stores PWM duty cycle or DC value (fan speed) in range: 140 141 0 (stop) to 255 (full) 142 143 pwm[1-4]_enable 144 this file controls mode of fan/temperature control: 145 146 * 1 Manual mode, write to pwm file any value 0-255 (full speed) 147 * 2 "Thermal Cruise" mode 148 * 3 "Fan Speed Cruise" mode 149 * 4 "Smart Fan III" mode 150 * 5 "Smart Fan IV" mode 151 152 SmartFan III mode is not supported on NCT6776F. 153 154 SmartFan IV mode is configurable only if it was configured at system 155 startup, and is only supported for W83677HG-B, NCT6775F, and NCT6776F. 156 SmartFan IV operational parameters can not be configured at this time, 157 and the various pwm attributes are not used in SmartFan IV mode. 158 The attributes can be written to, which is useful if you plan to 159 configure the system for a different pwm mode. However, the information 160 returned when reading pwm attributes is unrelated to SmartFan IV 161 operation. 162 163 pwm[1-4]_mode 164 controls if output is PWM or DC level 165 166 * 0 DC output (0 - 12v) 167 * 1 PWM output 168 169 Thermal Cruise mode 170 ------------------- 171 172 If the temperature is in the range defined by: 173 174 pwm[1-4]_target 175 set target temperature, unit millidegree Celsius 176 (range 0 - 127000) 177 pwm[1-4]_tolerance 178 tolerance, unit millidegree Celsius (range 0 - 15000) 179 180 there are no changes to fan speed. Once the temperature leaves the interval, 181 fan speed increases (temp is higher) or decreases if lower than desired. 182 There are defined steps and times, but not exported by the driver yet. 183 184 pwm[1-4]_min_output 185 minimum fan speed (range 1 - 255), when the temperature 186 is below defined range. 187 pwm[1-4]_stop_time 188 how many milliseconds [ms] must elapse to switch 189 corresponding fan off. (when the temperature was below 190 defined range). 191 pwm[1-4]_start_output 192 minimum fan speed (range 1 - 255) when spinning up 193 pwm[1-4]_step_output 194 rate of fan speed change (1 - 255) 195 pwm[1-4]_stop_output 196 minimum fan speed (range 1 - 255) when spinning down 197 pwm[1-4]_max_output 198 maximum fan speed (range 1 - 255), when the temperature 199 is above defined range. 200 201 Note: last six functions are influenced by other control bits, not yet exported 202 by the driver, so a change might not have any effect. 203 204 Implementation Details 205 ---------------------- 206 207 Future driver development should bear in mind that the following registers have 208 different functions on the 627EHF and the 627DHG. Some registers also have 209 different power-on default values, but BIOS should already be loading 210 appropriate defaults. Note that bank selection must be performed as is currently 211 done in the driver for all register addresses. 212 213 ========================= ===================================================== 214 Register(s) Meaning 215 ========================= ===================================================== 216 0x49 only on DHG, selects temperature source for AUX fan, 217 CPU fan0 218 0x4a not completely documented for the EHF and the DHG 219 documentation assigns different behavior to bits 7 220 and 6, including extending the temperature input 221 selection to SmartFan I, not just SmartFan III. 222 Testing on the EHF will reveal whether they are 223 compatible or not. 224 0x58 Chip ID: 0xa1=EHF 0xc1=DHG 225 0x5e only on DHG, has bits to enable "current mode" 226 temperature detection and critical temperature 227 protection 228 0x45b only on EHF, bit 3, vin4 alarm (EHF supports 10 229 inputs, only 9 on DHG) 230 0x552 only on EHF, vin4 231 0x558 only on EHF, vin4 high limit 232 0x559 only on EHF, vin4 low limit 233 0x6b only on DHG, SYS fan critical temperature 234 0x6c only on DHG, CPU fan0 critical temperature 235 0x6d only on DHG, AUX fan critical temperature 236 0x6e only on DHG, CPU fan1 critical temperature 237 0x50-0x55 and 0x650-0x657 marked as: 238 239 - "Test Register" for the EHF 240 - "Reserved Register" for the DHG 241 ========================= ===================================================== 242 243 The DHG also supports PECI, where the DHG queries Intel CPU temperatures, and 244 the ICH8 southbridge gets that data via PECI from the DHG, so that the 245 southbridge drives the fans. And the DHG supports SST, a one-wire serial bus. 246 247 The DHG-P has an additional automatic fan speed control mode named Smart Fan 248 (TM) III+. This mode is not yet supported by the driver.
