54 This driver implements support for the Nuvoton NCT6775F, NCT6776F, and NCT6779D
55 and compatible super I/O chips.
57 The chips support up to 25 temperature monitoring sources. Up to 6 of those are
58 direct temperature sensor inputs, the others are special sources such as PECI,
59 PCH, and SMBUS. Depending on the chip type, 2 to 6 of the temperature sources
60 can be monitored and compared against minimum, maximum, and critical
61 temperatures. The driver reports up to 10 of the temperatures to the user.
62 There are 4 to 5 fan rotation speed sensors, 8 to 15 analog voltage sensors,
63 one VID, alarms with beep warnings (control unimplemented), and some automatic
64 fan regulation strategies (plus manual fan control mode).
66 The temperature sensor sources on all chips are configurable. The configured
67 source for each of the temperature sensors is provided in tempX_label.
69 Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is
70 either 1 degC or 0.5 degC, depending on the temperature source and
71 configuration. An alarm is triggered when the temperature gets higher than
72 the high limit; it stays on until the temperature falls below the hysteresis
73 value. Alarms are only supported for temp1 to temp6, depending on the chip type.
75 Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
76 triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. On
77 NCT6775F, fan readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8,
78 16, 32, 64 or 128) to give the readings more range or accuracy; the other chips
79 do not have a fan speed divider. The driver sets the most suitable fan divisor
80 itself; specifically, it increases the divider value each time a fan speed
81 reading returns an invalid value, and it reduces it if the fan speed reading
82 is lower than optimal. Some fans might not be present because they share pins
85 Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts.
86 An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
89 The driver supports automatic fan control mode known as Thermal Cruise.
90 In this mode, the chip attempts to keep the measured temperature in a
91 predefined temperature range. If the temperature goes out of range, fan
92 is driven slower/faster to reach the predefined range again.
94 The mode works for fan1-fan5.
99 pwm[1-7] - this file stores PWM duty cycle or DC value (fan speed) in range:
100 0 (lowest speed) to 255 (full)
102 pwm[1-7]_enable - this file controls mode of fan/temperature control:
103 * 0 Fan control disabled (fans set to maximum speed)
104 * 1 Manual mode, write to pwm[0-5] any value 0-255
105 * 2 "Thermal Cruise" mode
106 * 3 "Fan Speed Cruise" mode
107 * 4 "Smart Fan III" mode (NCT6775F only)
108 * 5 "Smart Fan IV" mode
110 pwm[1-7]_mode - controls if output is PWM or DC level
114 Common fan control attributes
115 -----------------------------
117 pwm[1-7]_temp_sel Temperature source. Value is temperature sensor index.
118 For example, select '1' for temp1_input.
119 pwm[1-7]_weight_temp_sel
120 Secondary temperature source. Value is temperature
121 sensor index. For example, select '1' for temp1_input.
122 Set to 0 to disable secondary temperature control.
124 If secondary temperature functionality is enabled, it is controlled with the
125 following attributes.
127 pwm[1-7]_weight_duty_step
129 pwm[1-7]_weight_temp_step
130 Temperature step size. With each step over
131 temp_step_base, the value of weight_duty_step is added
132 to the current pwm value.
133 pwm[1-7]_weight_temp_step_base
134 Temperature at which secondary temperature control kicks
136 pwm[1-7]_weight_temp_step_tol
137 Temperature step tolerance.
139 Thermal Cruise mode (2)
140 -----------------------
142 If the temperature is in the range defined by:
144 pwm[1-7]_target_temp Target temperature, unit millidegree Celsius
146 pwm[1-7]_temp_tolerance
147 Target temperature tolerance, unit millidegree Celsius
149 there are no changes to fan speed. Once the temperature leaves the interval, fan
150 speed increases (if temperature is higher that desired) or decreases (if
151 temperature is lower than desired), using the following limits and time
154 pwm[1-7]_start fan pwm start value (range 1 - 255), to start fan
155 when the temperature is above defined range.
156 pwm[1-7]_floor lowest fan pwm (range 0 - 255) if temperature is below
157 the defined range. If set to 0, the fan is expected to
158 stop if the temperature is below the defined range.
159 pwm[1-7]_step_up_time milliseconds before fan speed is increased
160 pwm[1-7]_step_down_time milliseconds before fan speed is decreased
161 pwm[1-7]_stop_time how many milliseconds must elapse to switch
162 corresponding fan off (when the temperature was below
165 Speed Cruise mode (3)
166 ---------------------
168 This modes tries to keep the fan speed constant.
170 fan[1-7]_target Target fan speed
172 Target speed tolerance
175 Untested; use at your own risk.
177 Smart Fan IV mode (5)
178 ---------------------
180 This mode offers multiple slopes to control the fan speed. The slopes can be
181 controlled by setting the pwm and temperature attributes. When the temperature
182 rises, the chip will calculate the DC/PWM output based on the current slope.
183 There are up to seven data points depending on the chip type. Subsequent data
184 points should be set to higher temperatures and higher pwm values to achieve
185 higher fan speeds with increasing temperature. The last data point reflects
186 critical temperature mode, in which the fans should run at full speed.
188 pwm[1-7]_auto_point[1-7]_pwm
189 pwm value to be set if temperature reaches matching
191 pwm[1-7]_auto_point[1-7]_temp
192 Temperature over which the matching pwm is enabled.
193 pwm[1-7]_temp_tolerance
194 Temperature tolerance, unit millidegree Celsius
195 pwm[1-7]_crit_temp_tolerance
196 Temperature tolerance for critical temperature,
197 unit millidegree Celsius
199 pwm[1-7]_step_up_time milliseconds before fan speed is increased
200 pwm[1-7]_step_down_time milliseconds before fan speed is decreased
205 On various ASUS boards with NCT6776F, it appears that CPUTIN is not really
206 connected to anything and floats, or that it is connected to some non-standard
207 temperature measurement device. As a result, the temperature reported on CPUTIN
208 will not reflect a usable value. It often reports unreasonably high
209 temperatures, and in some cases the reported temperature declines if the actual
210 temperature increases (similar to the raw PECI temperature value - see PECI
211 specification for details). CPUTIN should therefore be be ignored on ASUS
212 boards. The CPU temperature on ASUS boards is reported from PECI 0.
