| Module Parameters |
| ----------------- |
| |
| * init int |
| (default 1) |
| Use 'init=0' to bypass initializing the chip. |
| Try this if your computer crashes when you load the module. |
| |
| * force_subclients=bus,caddr,saddr,saddr |
| This is used to force the i2c addresses for subclients of |
| a certain chip. Example usage is `force_subclients=0,0x2f,0x4a,0x4b' |
| to force the subclients of chip 0x2f on bus 0 to i2c addresses |
| 0x4a and 0x4b. |

| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| This driver implements support for the Winbond W83792AD/D. |
| |
| Detection of the chip can sometimes be foiled because it can be in an |
| internal state that allows no clean access (Bank with ID register is not |
| currently selected). If you know the address of the chip, use a 'force' |
| parameter; this will put it into a more well-behaved state first. |
| |
| The driver implements three temperature sensors, seven fan rotation speed |
| sensors, nine voltage sensors, and two automatic fan regulation |
| strategies called: Smart Fan I (Thermal Cruise mode) and Smart Fan II. |
| |
| The driver also implements up to seven fan control outputs: pwm1-7. Pwm1-7 |
| can be configured to PWM output or Analogue DC output via their associated |
| pwmX_mode. Outputs pwm4 through pwm7 may or may not be present depending on |
| how the W83792AD/D was configured by the BIOS. |
| |
| Automatic fan control mode is possible only for fan1-fan3. |
| |
| For all pwmX outputs, a value of 0 means minimum fan speed and a value of |
| 255 means maximum fan speed. |
| |
| Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is 1 |
| degC for temp1 and 0.5 degC for temp2 and temp3. An alarm is triggered when |
| the temperature gets higher than the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays |
| on until the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value. |
| |
| Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is |
| triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan |
| readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or |
| 128) to give the readings more range or accuracy. |
| |
| Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts. |
| An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum |
| or maximum limit. |
| |
| Alarms are provided as output from "realtime status register". Following bits |
| are defined: |
| |
| bit - alarm on: |
| 0 - in0 |
| 1 - in1 |
| 2 - temp1 |
| 3 - temp2 |
| 4 - temp3 |
| 5 - fan1 |
| 6 - fan2 |
| 7 - fan3 |
| 8 - in2 |
| 9 - in3 |
| 10 - in4 |
| 11 - in5 |
| 12 - in6 |
| 13 - VID change |
| 14 - chassis |
| 15 - fan7 |
| 16 - tart1 |
| 17 - tart2 |
| 18 - tart3 |
| 19 - in7 |
| 20 - in8 |
| 21 - fan4 |
| 22 - fan5 |
| 23 - fan6 |
| |
| Tart will be asserted while target temperature cannot be achieved after 3 minutes |
| of full speed rotation of corresponding fan. |
| |
| In addition to the alarms described above, there is a CHAS alarm on the chips |
| which triggers if your computer case is open (This one is latched, contrary |
| to realtime alarms). |
| |
| The chips only update values each 3 seconds; reading them more often will |
| do no harm, but will return 'old' values. |

| W83792D PROBLEMS |
| ---------------- |
| Known problems: |
| - This driver is only for Winbond W83792D C version device, there |
| are also some motherboards with B version W83792D device. The |
| calculation method to in6-in7(measured value, limits) is a little |
| different between C and B version. C or B version can be identified |
| by CR[0x49h]. |
| - The function of vid and vrm has not been finished, because I'm NOT |
| very familiar with them. Adding support is welcome. |
| - The function of chassis open detection needs more tests. |
| - If you have ASUS server board and chip was not found: Then you will |
| need to upgrade to latest (or beta) BIOS. If it does not help please |
| contact us. |

| Fan control |
| ----------- |
| |
| Manual mode |
| ----------- |
| |
| Works as expected. You just need to specify desired PWM/DC value (fan speed) |
| in appropriate pwm# file. |
| |
| Thermal cruise |
| -------------- |
| |
| In this mode, W83792D provides the Smart Fan system to automatically control |
| fan speed to keep the temperatures of CPU and the system within specific |
| range. At first a wanted temperature and interval must be set. This is done |
| via thermal_cruise# file. The tolerance# file serves to create T +- tolerance |
| interval. The fan speed will be lowered as long as the current temperature |
| remains below the thermal_cruise# +- tolerance# value. Once the temperature |
| exceeds the high limit (T+tolerance), the fan will be turned on with a |
| specific speed set by pwm# and automatically controlled its PWM duty cycle |
| with the temperature varying. Three conditions may occur: |
| |
| (1) If the temperature still exceeds the high limit, PWM duty |
| cycle will increase slowly. |
| |
| (2) If the temperature goes below the high limit, but still above the low |
| limit (T-tolerance), the fan speed will be fixed at the current speed because |
| the temperature is in the target range. |
| |
| (3) If the temperature goes below the low limit, PWM duty cycle will decrease |
| slowly to 0 or a preset stop value until the temperature exceeds the low |
| limit. (The preset stop value handling is not yet implemented in driver) |
| |
| Smart Fan II |
| ------------ |
| |
| W83792D also provides a special mode for fan. Four temperature points are |
| available. When related temperature sensors detects the temperature in preset |
| temperature region (sf2_point@_fan# +- tolerance#) it will cause fans to run |
| on programmed value from sf2_level@_fan#. You need to set four temperatures |
| for each fan. |
