17 This driver implements support for the Texas Instruments amc6821 chip.
18 The chip has one on-chip and one remote temperature sensor and one pwm fan
20 The pwm can be controlled either from software or automatically.
22 The driver provides the following sensor accesses in sysfs:
24 temp1_input ro on-chip temperature
32 temp2_input ro remote temperature
41 fan1_input ro tachometer speed
45 fan1_div rw Fan divisor can be either 2 or 4.
48 pwm1_enable rw regulator mode, 1=open loop, 2=fan controlled
49 by remote temperature, 3=fan controlled by
50 combination of the on-chip temperature and
51 remote-sensor temperature,
52 pwm1_auto_channels_temp ro 1 if pwm_enable==2, 3 if pwm_enable==3
53 pwm1_auto_point1_pwm ro Hardwired to 0, shared for both
55 pwm1_auto_point2_pwm rw This value is shared for both temperature
57 pwm1_auto_point3_pwm rw Hardwired to 255, shared for both
60 temp1_auto_point1_temp ro Hardwired to temp2_auto_point1_temp
61 which is rw. Below this temperature fan stops.
62 temp1_auto_point2_temp rw The low-temperature limit of the proportional
63 range. Below this temperature
64 pwm1 = pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. It can go from
65 0 degree C to 124 degree C in steps of
66 4 degree C. Read it out after writing to get
68 temp1_auto_point3_temp rw Above this temperature fan runs at maximum
69 speed. It can go from temp1_auto_point2_temp.
70 It can only have certain discrete values
71 which depend on temp1_auto_point2_temp and
72 pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. Read it out after
73 writing to get the actual value.
75 temp2_auto_point1_temp rw Must be between 0 degree C and 63 degree C and
76 it defines the passive cooling temperature.
77 Below this temperature the fan stops in
79 temp2_auto_point2_temp rw The low-temperature limit of the proportional
80 range. Below this temperature
81 pwm1 = pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. It can go from
82 0 degree C to 124 degree C in steps
85 temp2_auto_point3_temp rw Above this temperature fan runs at maximum
86 speed. It can only have certain discrete
87 values which depend on temp2_auto_point2_temp
88 and pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. Read it out after
89 writing to get actual value.
95 If your board has a BIOS that initializes the amc6821 correctly, you should
96 load the module with: init=0.
98 If your board BIOS doesn't initialize the chip, or you want
99 different settings, you can set the following parameters:
101 pwminv: 0 default pwm output, 1 inverts pwm output.
