If you know you + have a w83791d and you're having problems, try init=1 before trying + reset=1. + +* reset boolean + (default 0) + Use 'reset=1' to reset the chip (via index 0x40, bit 7). The default + behavior is no chip reset to preserve BIOS settings. + +* force_subclients=bus,caddr,saddr,saddr + This is used to force the i2c addresses for subclients of + a certain chip. Example usage is `force_subclients=0,0x2f,0x4a,0x4b' + to force the subclients of chip 0x2f on bus 0 to i2c addresses + 0x4a and 0x4b. + + +Description +----------- + +This driver implements support for the Winbond W83791D chip. The W83791G +chip appears to be the same as the W83791D but is lead free. + +Detection of the chip can sometimes be foiled because it can be in an +internal state that allows no clean access (Bank with ID register is not +currently selected). If you know the address of the chip, use a 'force' +parameter; this will put it into a more well-behaved state first. + +The driver implements three temperature sensors, ten voltage sensors, +five fan rotation speed sensors and manual PWM control of each fan. + +Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is 1 +degC for temp1 and 0.5 degC for temp2 and temp3. An alarm is triggered when +the temperature gets higher than the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays +on until the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value. + +Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts. +An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum +or maximum limit. + +Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is +triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan +readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, +32, 64 or 128 for all fans) to give the readings more range or accuracy. + +Each fan controlled is controlled by PWM. The PWM duty cycle can be read and +set for each fan separately. Valid values range from 0 (stop) to 255 (full). +PWM 1-3 support Thermal Cruise mode, in which the PWMs are automatically +regulated to keep respectively temp 1-3 at a certain target temperature. +See below for the description of the sysfs-interface. + +The w83791d has a global bit used to enable beeping from the speaker when an +alarm is triggered as well as a bitmask to enable or disable the beep for +specific alarms. You need both the global beep enable bit and the +corresponding beep bit to be on for a triggered alarm to sound a beep. + +The sysfs interface to the global enable is via the sysfs beep_enable file. +This file is used for both legacy and new code. + +The sysfs interface to the beep bitmask has migrated from the original legacy +method of a single sysfs beep_mask file to a newer method using multiple +*_beep files as described in .../Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface. + +A similar change has occurred for the bitmap corresponding to the alarms. The +original legacy method used a single sysfs alarms file containing a bitmap +of triggered alarms. The newer method uses multiple sysfs *_alarm files +(again following the pattern described in sysfs-interface). + +Since both methods read and write the underlying hardware, they can be used +interchangeably and changes in one will automatically be reflected by +the other. If you use the legacy bitmask method, your user-space code is +responsible for handling the fact that the alarms and beep_mask bitmaps +are not the same (see the table below). + +NOTE: All new code should be written to use the newer sysfs-interface +specification as that avoids bitmap problems and is the preferred interface +going forward. + +The driver reads the hardware chip values at most once every three seconds. +User mode code requesting values more often will receive cached values. + +/sys files +---------- +The sysfs-interface is documented in the 'sysfs-interface' file.
