61 The chips supported by this driver are very similar. The Maxim MAX1617 is
62 the oldest; it has the problem that it is not very well detectable. The
63 MAX1617A solves that. The ADM1021 is a straight clone of the MAX1617A.
64 Ditto for the THMC10. From here on, we will refer to all these chips as
67 The ADM1021 and MAX1617A reports a die code, which is a sort of revision
68 code. This can help us pinpoint problems; it is not very useful
71 ADM1021-clones implement two temperature sensors. One of them is internal,
72 and measures the temperature of the chip itself; the other is external and
73 is realised in the form of a transistor-like device. A special alarm
74 indicates whether the remote sensor is connected.
76 Each sensor has its own low and high limits. When they are crossed, the
77 corresponding alarm is set and remains on as long as the temperature stays
78 out of range. Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. Measurements
79 are possible between -65 and +127 degrees, with a resolution of one degree.
81 If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
82 is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
85 This driver only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
86 will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. It is possible to make
87 ADM1021-clones do faster measurements, but there is really no good reason
91 Netburst-based Xeon support
92 ---------------------------
94 Some Xeon processors based on the Netburst (early Pentium 4, from 2001 to
95 2003) microarchitecture had real MAX1617, ADM1021, or compatible chips
96 within them, with two temperature sensors. Other Xeon processors of this
97 era (with 400 MHz FSB) had chips with only one temperature sensor.
99 If you have such an old Xeon, and you get two valid temperatures when
100 loading the adm1021 module, then things are good.
102 If nothing happens when loading the adm1021 module, and you are certain
103 that your specific Xeon processor model includes compatible sensors, you
104 will have to explicitly instantiate the sensor chips from user-space. See
105 method 4 in Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices. Possible slave
106 addresses are 0x18, 0x1a, 0x29, 0x2b, 0x4c, or 0x4e. It is likely that
107 only temp2 will be correct and temp1 will have to be ignored.
109 Previous generations of the Xeon processor (based on Pentium II/III)
110 didn't have these sensors. Next generations of Xeon processors (533 MHz
111 FSB and faster) lost them, until the Core-based generation which
112 introduced integrated digital thermal sensors. These are supported by
