16 SMSC SCH5627 Super I/O chips include complete hardware monitoring
17 capabilities. They can monitor up to 5 voltages, 4 fans and 8 temperatures.
19 The SMSC SCH5627 hardware monitoring part also contains an integrated
20 watchdog. In order for this watchdog to function some motherboard specific
21 initialization most be done by the BIOS, so if the watchdog is not enabled
22 by the BIOS the sch5627 driver will not register a watchdog device.
24 The hardware monitoring part of the SMSC SCH5627 is accessed by talking
25 through an embedded microcontroller. An application note describing the
26 protocol for communicating with the microcontroller is available upon
27 request. Please mail me if you want a copy.
