46 This driver implements support for the Nuvoton NCT6775F, NCT6776F, and NCT6779D
47 and compatible super I/O chips.
49 The chips support up to 25 temperature monitoring sources. Up to 6 of those are
50 direct temperature sensor inputs, the others are special sources such as PECI,
51 PCH, and SMBUS. Depending on the chip type, 2 to 6 of the temperature sources
52 can be monitored and compared against minimum, maximum, and critical
53 temperatures. The driver reports up to 10 of the temperatures to the user.
54 There are 4 to 5 fan rotation speed sensors, 8 to 15 analog voltage sensors,
55 one VID, alarms with beep warnings (control unimplemented), and some automatic
56 fan regulation strategies (plus manual fan control mode).
58 The temperature sensor sources on all chips are configurable. The configured
59 source for each of the temperature sensors is provided in tempX_label.
61 Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is
62 either 1 degC or 0.5 degC, depending on the temperature source and
63 configuration. An alarm is triggered when the temperature gets higher than
64 the high limit; it stays on until the temperature falls below the hysteresis
65 value. Alarms are only supported for temp1 to temp6, depending on the chip type.
67 Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
68 triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. On
69 NCT6775F, fan readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8,
70 16, 32, 64 or 128) to give the readings more range or accuracy; the other chips
71 do not have a fan speed divider. The driver sets the most suitable fan divisor
72 itself; specifically, it increases the divider value each time a fan speed
73 reading returns an invalid value, and it reduces it if the fan speed reading
74 is lower than optimal. Some fans might not be present because they share pins
77 Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts.
78 An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
81 The driver supports automatic fan control mode known as Thermal Cruise.
82 In this mode, the chip attempts to keep the measured temperature in a
83 predefined temperature range. If the temperature goes out of range, fan
84 is driven slower/faster to reach the predefined range again.
86 The mode works for fan1-fan5.
91 pwm[1-5] - this file stores PWM duty cycle or DC value (fan speed) in range:
92 0 (lowest speed) to 255 (full)
94 pwm[1-5]_enable - this file controls mode of fan/temperature control:
95 * 0 Fan control disabled (fans set to maximum speed)
96 * 1 Manual mode, write to pwm[0-5] any value 0-255
97 * 2 "Thermal Cruise" mode
98 * 3 "Fan Speed Cruise" mode
99 * 4 "Smart Fan III" mode (NCT6775F only)
100 * 5 "Smart Fan IV" mode
102 pwm[1-5]_mode - controls if output is PWM or DC level
106 Common fan control attributes
107 -----------------------------
109 pwm[1-5]_temp_sel Temperature source. Value is temperature sensor index.
110 For example, select '1' for temp1_input.
111 pwm[1-5]_weight_temp_sel
112 Secondary temperature source. Value is temperature
113 sensor index. For example, select '1' for temp1_input.
114 Set to 0 to disable secondary temperature control.
116 If secondary temperature functionality is enabled, it is controlled with the
117 following attributes.
119 pwm[1-5]_weight_duty_step
121 pwm[1-5]_weight_temp_step
122 Temperature step size. With each step over
123 temp_step_base, the value of weight_duty_step is added
124 to the current pwm value.
125 pwm[1-5]_weight_temp_step_base
126 Temperature at which secondary temperature control kicks
128 pwm[1-5]_weight_temp_step_tol
129 Temperature step tolerance.
131 Thermal Cruise mode (2)
132 -----------------------
134 If the temperature is in the range defined by:
136 pwm[1-5]_target_temp Target temperature, unit millidegree Celsius
138 pwm[1-5]_temp_tolerance
139 Target temperature tolerance, unit millidegree Celsius
141 there are no changes to fan speed. Once the temperature leaves the interval, fan
142 speed increases (if temperature is higher that desired) or decreases (if
143 temperature is lower than desired), using the following limits and time
146 pwm[1-5]_start fan pwm start value (range 1 - 255), to start fan
147 when the temperature is above defined range.
148 pwm[1-5]_floor lowest fan pwm (range 0 - 255) if temperature is below
149 the defined range. If set to 0, the fan is expected to
150 stop if the temperature is below the defined range.
151 pwm[1-5]_step_up_time milliseconds before fan speed is increased
152 pwm[1-5]_step_down_time milliseconds before fan speed is decreased
153 pwm[1-5]_stop_time how many milliseconds must elapse to switch
154 corresponding fan off (when the temperature was below
157 Speed Cruise mode (3)
158 ---------------------
160 This modes tries to keep the fan speed constant.
162 fan[1-5]_target Target fan speed
164 Target speed tolerance
167 Untested; use at your own risk.
169 Smart Fan IV mode (5)
170 ---------------------
172 This mode offers multiple slopes to control the fan speed. The slopes can be
173 controlled by setting the pwm and temperature attributes. When the temperature
174 rises, the chip will calculate the DC/PWM output based on the current slope.
175 There are up to seven data points depending on the chip type. Subsequent data
176 points should be set to higher temperatures and higher pwm values to achieve
177 higher fan speeds with increasing temperature. The last data point reflects
178 critical temperature mode, in which the fans should run at full speed.
180 pwm[1-5]_auto_point[1-7]_pwm
181 pwm value to be set if temperature reaches matching
183 pwm[1-5]_auto_point[1-7]_temp
184 Temperature over which the matching pwm is enabled.
185 pwm[1-5]_temp_tolerance
186 Temperature tolerance, unit millidegree Celsius
187 pwm[1-5]_crit_temp_tolerance
188 Temperature tolerance for critical temperature,
189 unit millidegree Celsius
191 pwm[1-5]_step_up_time milliseconds before fan speed is increased
192 pwm[1-5]_step_down_time milliseconds before fan speed is decreased
197 On various ASUS boards with NCT6776F, it appears that CPUTIN is not really
198 connected to anything and floats, or that it is connected to some non-standard
199 temperature measurement device. As a result, the temperature reported on CPUTIN
200 will not reflect a usable value. It often reports unreasonably high
201 temperatures, and in some cases the reported temperature declines if the actual
202 temperature increases (similar to the raw PECI temperature value - see PECI
203 specification for details). CPUTIN should therefore be be ignored on ASUS
204 boards. The CPU temperature on ASUS boards is reported from PECI 0.
