32 Fintek F718xxFG/F8000 Super I/O chips include complete hardware monitoring
33 capabilities. They can monitor up to 9 voltages (3 for the F8000), 4 fans and
34 3 temperature sensors.
36 These chips also have fan controlling features, using either DC or PWM, in
37 three different modes (one manual, two automatic).
39 The driver assumes that no more than one chip is present, which seems
46 The Voltage, Fan and Temperature Monitoring uses the standard sysfs
47 interface as documented in sysfs-interface, without any exceptions.
53 Both PWM (pulse-width modulation) and DC fan speed control methods are
54 supported. The right one to use depends on external circuitry on the
55 motherboard, so the driver assumes that the BIOS set the method
58 Note that the lowest numbered temperature zone trip point corresponds to
59 to the border between the highest and one but highest temperature zones, and
60 vica versa. So the temperature zone trip points 1-4 (or 1-2) go from high temp
61 to low temp! This is how things are implemented in the IC, and the driver
64 There are 2 modes to specify the speed of the fan, PWM duty cycle (or DC
65 voltage) mode, where 0-100% duty cycle (0-100% of 12V) is specified. And RPM
66 mode where the actual RPM of the fan (as measured) is controlled and the speed
67 gets specified as 0-100% of the fan#_full_speed file.
69 Since both modes work in a 0-100% (mapped to 0-255) scale, there isn't a
70 whole lot of a difference when modifying fan control settings. The only
71 important difference is that in RPM mode the 0-100% controls the fan speed
72 between 0-100% of fan#_full_speed. It is assumed that if the BIOS programs
73 RPM mode, it will also set fan#_full_speed properly, if it does not then
74 fan control will not work properly, unless you set a sane fan#_full_speed
77 Switching between these modes requires re-initializing a whole bunch of
78 registers, so the mode which the BIOS has set is kept. The mode is
79 printed when loading the driver.
81 Three different fan control modes are supported; the mode number is written
82 to the pwm#_enable file. Note that not all modes are supported on all
83 chips, and some modes may only be available in RPM / PWM mode.
84 Writing an unsupported mode will result in an invalid parameter error.
87 You ask for a specific PWM duty cycle / DC voltage or a specific % of
88 fan#_full_speed by writing to the pwm# file. This mode is only
89 available on the F71858FG / F8000 if the fan channel is in RPM mode.
92 You can define a number of temperature/fan speed trip points, which % the
93 fan should run at at this temp and which temp a fan should follow using the
94 standard sysfs interface. The number and type of trip points is chip
95 depended, see which files are available in sysfs.
96 Fan/PWM channel 3 of the F8000 is always in this mode!
98 * 3: Thermostat mode (Only available on the F8000 when in duty cycle mode)
99 The fan speed is regulated to keep the temp the fan is mapped to between
100 temp#_auto_point2_temp and temp#_auto_point3_temp.
102 Both of the automatic modes require that pwm1 corresponds to fan1, pwm2 to
103 fan2 and pwm3 to fan3.
