Studebaker and its port to kernel 2.6 by Lars Ekman. Thanks to Joseph Chan and Fiona Gatt from VIA for providing documentation and technical support. Module Parameters ----------------- * uch_config: int Override the BIOS default universal channel (UCH) configuration for channels 1-5. Legal values are in the range of 0-31. Bit 0 maps to UCH1, bit 1 maps to UCH2 and so on. Setting a bit to 1 enables the thermal input of that particular UCH and setting a bit to 0 enables the voltage input. * int_mode: int Override the BIOS default temperature interrupt mode. The only possible value is 0 which forces interrupt mode 0. In this mode, any pending interrupt is cleared when the status register is read but is regenerated as long as the temperature stays above the hysteresis limit. Be aware that overriding BIOS defaults might cause some unwanted side effects! Description ----------- The VIA VT1211 Super-I/O chip includes complete hardware monitoring capabilities. It monitors 2 dedicated temperature sensor inputs (temp1 and temp2), 1 dedicated voltage (in5) and 2 fans. Additionally, the chip implements 5 universal input channels (UCH1-5) that can be individually programmed to either monitor a voltage or a temperature. This chip also provides manual and automatic control of fan speeds (according to the datasheet). The driver only supports automatic control since the manual mode doesn't seem to work as advertised in the datasheet. In fact I couldn't get manual mode to work at all! Be aware that automatic mode hasn't been tested very well (due to the fact that my EPIA M10000 doesn't have the fans connected to the PWM outputs of the VT1211 :-(). The following table shows the relationship between the vt1211 inputs and the sysfs nodes. =============== ============== =========== ================================ Sensor Voltage Mode Temp Mode Default Use (from the datasheet) =============== ============== =========== ================================ Reading 1 temp1 Intel thermal diode Reading 3 temp2 Internal thermal diode UCH1/Reading2 in0 temp3 NTC type thermistor UCH2 in1 temp4 +2.5V UCH3 in2 temp5 VccP (processor core) UCH4 in3 temp6 +5V UCH5 in4 temp7 +12V +3.3V in5 Internal VCC (+3.3V) =============== ============== =========== ================================ Voltage Monitoring ------------------ Voltages are sampled by an 8-bit ADC with a LSB of ~10mV. The supported input range is thus from 0 to 2.60V. Voltage values outside of this range need external scaling resistors. This external scaling needs to be compensated for via compute lines in sensors.conf, like: compute inx @*(1+R1/R2), @/(1+R1/R2) The board level scaling resistors according to VIA's recommendation are as follows. And this is of course totally dependent on the actual board implementation :-) You will have to find documentation for your own motherboard and edit sensors.conf accordingly. ============= ====== ====== ========= ============ Expected Voltage R1 R2 Divider Raw Value ============= ====== ====== ========= ============ +2.5V 2K 10K 1.2 2083 mV VccP --- --- 1.0 1400 mV [1]_ +5V 14K 10K 2.4 2083 mV +12V 47K 10K 5.7 2105 mV +3.3V (int) 2K 3.4K 1.588 3300 mV [2]_ +3.3V (ext) 6.8K 10K 1.68 1964 mV ============= ====== ====== ========= ============ .. [1] Depending on the CPU (1.4V is for a VIA C3 Nehemiah). .. [2] R1 and R2 for 3.3V (int) are internal to the VT1211 chip and the driver performs the scaling and returns the properly scaled voltage value. Each measured voltage has an associated low and high limit which triggers an alarm when crossed. Temperature Monitoring ---------------------- Temperatures are reported in millidegree Celsius. Each measured temperature has a high limit which triggers an alarm if crossed. There is an associated hysteresis value with each temperature below which the temperature has to drop before the alarm is cleared (this is only true for interrupt mode 0). The interrupt mode can be forced to 0 in case the BIOS doesn't do it automatically. See the 'Module Parameters' section for details. All temperature channels except temp2 are external. Temp2 is the VT1211 internal thermal diode and the driver does all the scaling for temp2 and returns the temperature in millidegree Celsius. For the external channels temp1 and temp3-temp7, scaling depends on the board implementation and needs to be performed in userspace via sensors.conf. Temp1 is an Intel-type thermal diode which requires the following formula to convert between sysfs readings and real temperatures: compute temp1 (@-Offset)/Gain, (@*Gain)+Offset According to the VIA VT1211 BIOS porting guide, the following gain and offset values should be used: =============== ======== =========== Diode Type Offset Gain =============== ======== =========== Intel CPU 88.638 0.9528 65.000 0.9686 [3]_ VIA C3 Ezra 83.869 0.9528 VIA C3 Ezra-T 73.869 0.9528 =============== ======== =========== .. [3] This is the formula from the lm_sensors 2.10.0 sensors.conf file. I don't know where it comes from or how it was derived, it's just listed here for completeness. Temp3-temp7 support NTC thermistors. For these channels, the driver returns the voltages as seen at the individual pins of UCH1-UCH5. The voltage at the pin (Vpin) is formed by a voltage divider made of the thermistor (Rth) and a scaling resistor (Rs):: Vpin = 2200 * Rth / (Rs + Rth) (2200 is the ADC max limit of 2200 mV) The equation for the thermistor is as follows (google it if you want to know more about it):: Rth = Ro * exp(B * (1 / T - 1 / To)) (To is 298.15K (25C) and Ro is the nominal resistance at 25C) Mingling the above two equations and assuming Rs = Ro and B = 3435 yields the following formula for sensors.conf:: compute tempx 1 / (1 / 298.15 - (` (2200 / @ - 1)) / 3435) - 273.15, 2200 / (1 + (^ (3435 / 298.15 - 3435 / (273.15 + @)))) Fan Speed Control ----------------- The VT1211 provides 2 programmable PWM outputs to control the speeds of 2 fans. Writing a 2 to any of the two pwm[1-2]_enable sysfs nodes will put the PWM controller in automatic mode. There is only a single controller that controls both PWM outputs but each PWM output can be individually enabled and disabled. Each PWM has 4 associated distinct output duty-cycles: full, high, low and off. Full and off are internally hard-wired to 255 (100%) and 0 (0%), respectively. High and low can be programmed via pwm[1-2]_auto_point[2-3]_pwm. Each PWM output can be associated with a different thermal input but - and here's the weird part - only one set of thermal thresholds exist that controls both PWMs output duty-cycles. The thermal thresholds are accessible via pwm[1-2]_auto_point[1-4]_temp. Note that even though there are 2 sets of 4 auto points each, they map to the same registers in the VT1211 and programming one set is sufficient (actually only the first set pwm1_auto_point[1-4]_temp is writable, the second set is read-only). ========================== ========================================= PWM Auto Point PWM Output Duty-Cycle ========================== ========================================= pwm[1-2]_auto_point4_pwm full speed duty-cycle (hard-wired to 255) pwm[1-2]_auto_point3_pwm high speed duty-cycle pwm[1-2]_auto_point2_pwm low speed duty-cycle pwm[1-2]_auto_point1_pwm off duty-cycle (hard-wired to 0) ========================== ========================================= ========================== ================= Temp Auto Point Thermal Threshold ========================== ================= pwm[1-2]_auto_point4_temp full speed temp pwm[1-2]_auto_point3_temp high speed temp pwm[1-2]_auto_point2_temp low speed temp pwm[1-2]_auto_point1_temp off temp ========================== ================= Long story short, the controller implements the following algorithm to set the PWM output duty-cycle based on the input temperature: =================== ======================= ======================== Thermal Threshold Output Duty-Cycle Output Duty-Cycle (Rising Temp) (Falling Temp) =================== ======================= ======================== - full speed duty-cycle full speed duty-cycle full speed temp - high speed duty-cycle full speed duty-cycle high speed temp - low speed duty-cycle high speed duty-cycle low speed temp - off duty-cycle low speed duty-cycle off temp =================== ======================= ======================== |
