30 This driver implements support for the Nuvoton NCT6775F, NCT6776F, and NCT6779D
31 and compatible super I/O chips.
33 The chips support up to 25 temperature monitoring sources. Up to 6 of those are
34 direct temperature sensor inputs, the others are special sources such as PECI,
35 PCH, and SMBUS. Depending on the chip type, 2 to 6 of the temperature sources
36 can be monitored and compared against minimum, maximum, and critical
37 temperatures. The driver reports up to 10 of the temperatures to the user.
38 There are 4 to 5 fan rotation speed sensors, 8 to 15 analog voltage sensors,
39 one VID, alarms with beep warnings (control unimplemented), and some automatic
40 fan regulation strategies (plus manual fan control mode).
42 The temperature sensor sources on all chips are configurable. The configured
43 source for each of the temperature sensors is provided in tempX_label.
45 Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is
46 either 1 degC or 0.5 degC, depending on the temperature source and
47 configuration. An alarm is triggered when the temperature gets higher than
48 the high limit; it stays on until the temperature falls below the hysteresis
49 value. Alarms are only supported for temp1 to temp6, depending on the chip type.
51 Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
52 triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. On
53 NCT6775F, fan readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8,
54 16, 32, 64 or 128) to give the readings more range or accuracy; the other chips
55 do not have a fan speed divider. The driver sets the most suitable fan divisor
56 itself; specifically, it increases the divider value each time a fan speed
57 reading returns an invalid value, and it reduces it if the fan speed reading
58 is lower than optimal. Some fans might not be present because they share pins
61 Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts.
62 An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
65 The driver supports automatic fan control mode known as Thermal Cruise.
66 In this mode, the chip attempts to keep the measured temperature in a
67 predefined temperature range. If the temperature goes out of range, fan
68 is driven slower/faster to reach the predefined range again.
70 The mode works for fan1-fan5.
75 pwm[1-5] - this file stores PWM duty cycle or DC value (fan speed) in range:
76 0 (lowest speed) to 255 (full)
78 pwm[1-5]_enable - this file controls mode of fan/temperature control:
79 * 0 Fan control disabled (fans set to maximum speed)
80 * 1 Manual mode, write to pwm[0-5] any value 0-255
81 * 2 "Thermal Cruise" mode
82 * 3 "Fan Speed Cruise" mode
83 * 4 "Smart Fan III" mode (NCT6775F only)
84 * 5 "Smart Fan IV" mode
86 pwm[1-5]_mode - controls if output is PWM or DC level
90 Common fan control attributes
91 -----------------------------
93 pwm[1-5]_temp_sel Temperature source. Value is temperature sensor index.
94 For example, select '1' for temp1_input.
95 pwm[1-5]_weight_temp_sel
96 Secondary temperature source. Value is temperature
97 sensor index. For example, select '1' for temp1_input.
98 Set to 0 to disable secondary temperature control.
100 If secondary temperature functionality is enabled, it is controlled with the
101 following attributes.
103 pwm[1-5]_weight_duty_step
105 pwm[1-5]_weight_temp_step
106 Temperature step size. With each step over
107 temp_step_base, the value of weight_duty_step is added
108 to the current pwm value.
109 pwm[1-5]_weight_temp_step_base
110 Temperature at which secondary temperature control kicks
112 pwm[1-5]_weight_temp_step_tol
113 Temperature step tolerance.
115 Thermal Cruise mode (2)
116 -----------------------
118 If the temperature is in the range defined by:
120 pwm[1-5]_target_temp Target temperature, unit millidegree Celsius
122 pwm[1-5]_temp_tolerance
123 Target temperature tolerance, unit millidegree Celsius
125 there are no changes to fan speed. Once the temperature leaves the interval, fan
126 speed increases (if temperature is higher that desired) or decreases (if
127 temperature is lower than desired), using the following limits and time
130 pwm[1-5]_start fan pwm start value (range 1 - 255), to start fan
131 when the temperature is above defined range.
132 pwm[1-5]_floor lowest fan pwm (range 0 - 255) if temperature is below
133 the defined range. If set to 0, the fan is expected to
134 stop if the temperature is below the defined range.
135 pwm[1-5]_step_up_time milliseconds before fan speed is increased
136 pwm[1-5]_step_down_time milliseconds before fan speed is decreased
137 pwm[1-5]_stop_time how many milliseconds must elapse to switch
138 corresponding fan off (when the temperature was below
141 Speed Cruise mode (3)
142 ---------------------
144 This modes tries to keep the fan speed constant.
146 fan[1-5]_target Target fan speed
148 Target speed tolerance
151 Untested; use at your own risk.
153 Smart Fan IV mode (5)
154 ---------------------
156 This mode offers multiple slopes to control the fan speed. The slopes can be
157 controlled by setting the pwm and temperature attributes. When the temperature
158 rises, the chip will calculate the DC/PWM output based on the current slope.
159 There are up to seven data points depending on the chip type. Subsequent data
160 points should be set to higher temperatures and higher pwm values to achieve
161 higher fan speeds with increasing temperature. The last data point reflects
162 critical temperature mode, in which the fans should run at full speed.
164 pwm[1-5]_auto_point[1-7]_pwm
165 pwm value to be set if temperature reaches matching
167 pwm[1-5]_auto_point[1-7]_temp
168 Temperature over which the matching pwm is enabled.
169 pwm[1-5]_temp_tolerance
170 Temperature tolerance, unit millidegree Celsius
171 pwm[1-5]_crit_temp_tolerance
172 Temperature tolerance for critical temperature,
173 unit millidegree Celsius
175 pwm[1-5]_step_up_time milliseconds before fan speed is increased
176 pwm[1-5]_step_down_time milliseconds before fan speed is decreased
181 On various ASUS boards with NCT6776F, it appears that CPUTIN is not really
182 connected to anything and floats, or that it is connected to some non-standard
183 temperature measurement device. As a result, the temperature reported on CPUTIN
184 will not reflect a usable value. It often reports unreasonably high
185 temperatures, and in some cases the reported temperature declines if the actual
186 temperature increases (similar to the raw PECI temperature value - see PECI
187 specification for details). CPUTIN should therefore be be ignored on ASUS
188 boards. The CPU temperature on ASUS boards is reported from PECI 0.
