| Description
 | |
| -----------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Fintek F718xx/F8000 Super I/O chips include complete hardware monitoring
 | |
| capabilities. They can monitor up to 9 voltages, 4 fans and 3 temperature
 | |
| sensors.
 | |
| 
 | |
| These chips also have fan controlling features, using either DC or PWM, in
 | |
| three different modes (one manual, two automatic).
 | |
| 
 | |
| The driver assumes that no more than one chip is present, which seems
 | |
| reasonable.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Monitoring
 | |
| ----------
 | |
| 
 | |
| The Voltage, Fan and Temperature Monitoring uses the standard sysfs
 | |
| interface as documented in sysfs-interface, without any exceptions.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Fan Control
 | |
| -----------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Both PWM (pulse-width modulation) and DC fan speed control methods are
 | |
| supported. The right one to use depends on external circuitry on the
 | |
| motherboard, so the driver assumes that the BIOS set the method
 | |
| properly.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that the lowest numbered temperature zone trip point corresponds to
 | |
| to the border between the highest and one but highest temperature zones, and
 | |
| vica versa. So the temperature zone trip points 1-4 (or 1-2) go from high temp
 | |
| to low temp! This is how things are implemented in the IC, and the driver
 | |
| mimicks this.
 | |
| 
 | |
| There are 2 modes to specify the speed of the fan, PWM duty cycle (or DC
 | |
| voltage) mode, where 0-100% duty cycle (0-100% of 12V) is specified. And RPM
 | |
| mode where the actual RPM of the fan (as measured) is controlled and the speed
 | |
| gets specified as 0-100% of the fan#_full_speed file.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Since both modes work in a 0-100% (mapped to 0-255) scale, there isn't a
 | |
| whole lot of a difference when modifying fan control settings. The only
 | |
| important difference is that in RPM mode the 0-100% controls the fan speed
 | |
| between 0-100% of fan#_full_speed. It is assumed that if the BIOS programs
 | |
| RPM mode, it will also set fan#_full_speed properly, if it does not then
 | |
| fan control will not work properly, unless you set a sane fan#_full_speed
 | |
| value yourself.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Switching between these modes requires re-initializing a whole bunch of
 | |
| registers, so the mode which the BIOS has set is kept. The mode is
 | |
| printed when loading the driver.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Three different fan control modes are supported; the mode number is written
 | |
| to the pwm#_enable file. Note that not all modes are supported on all
 | |
| chips, and some modes may only be available in RPM / PWM mode.
 | |
| Writing an unsupported mode will result in an invalid parameter error.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * 1: Manual mode
 | |
|   You ask for a specific PWM duty cycle / DC voltage or a specific % of
 | |
|   fan#_full_speed by writing to the pwm# file. This mode is only
 | |
|   available on the F71858FG / F8000 if the fan channel is in RPM mode.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * 2: Normal auto mode
 | |
|   You can define a number of temperature/fan speed trip points, which % the
 | |
|   fan should run at at this temp and which temp a fan should follow using the
 | |
|   standard sysfs interface. The number and type of trip points is chip
 | |
|   depended, see which files are available in sysfs.
 | |
|   Fan/PWM channel 3 of the F8000 is always in this mode!
 | |
| 
 | |
| * 3: Thermostat mode (Only available on the F8000 when in duty cycle mode)
 | |
|   The fan speed is regulated to keep the temp the fan is mapped to between
 | |
|   temp#_auto_point2_temp and temp#_auto_point3_temp.
 | |
| 
 | |
| All of the automatic modes require that pwm1 corresponds to fan1, pwm2 to
 | |
| fan2 and pwm3 to fan3.
