Add support for the Fintek F71872F/FG Super-I/O chip. It is basically the same as the Fintek F71805F/FG as far as hardware monitoring is concerned, with two additional internal voltages monitored (VSB and battery), and 6 VID inputs (not yet supported.) To make things a bit more confusing, two of the voltage input pins (in4 and in8) can be used for other functions. The driver reads the pin configuration from the Super-I/O configuration space to decide whether it must create interface files for these inputs or not. Many thanks to Nikolay Derkach for testing the early iterations of this code and reporting bugs. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The Fintek F71805F/FG Super I/O chip includes complete hardware monitoring
|
|
capabilities. It can monitor up to 9 voltages (counting its own power
|
|
source), 3 fans and 3 temperature sensors.
|
|
|
|
This chip also has fan controlling features, using either DC or PWM, in
|
|
three different modes (one manual, two automatic).
|
|
|
|
The Fintek F71872F/FG Super I/O chip is almost the same, with two
|
|
additional internal voltages monitored (VSB and battery). It also features
|
|
6 VID inputs. The VID inputs are not yet supported by this driver.
|
|
|
|
The driver assumes that no more than one chip is present, which seems
|
|
reasonable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Voltage Monitoring
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Voltages are sampled by an 8-bit ADC with a LSB of 8 mV. The supported
|
|
range is thus from 0 to 2.040 V. Voltage values outside of this range
|
|
need external resistors. An exception is in0, which is used to monitor
|
|
the chip's own power source (+3.3V), and is divided internally by a
|
|
factor 2. For the F71872F/FG, in9 (VSB) and in10 (battery) are also
|
|
divided internally by a factor 2.
|
|
|
|
The two LSB of the voltage limit registers are not used (always 0), so
|
|
you can only set the limits in steps of 32 mV (before scaling).
|
|
|
|
The wirings and resistor values suggested by Fintek are as follow:
|
|
|
|

|

|

|
|

|
|

|

|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
(1) Depends on your hardware setup.
|
|
(2) Obviously not correct, swapping R1 and R2 would make more sense.
|
|
(3) F71872F/FG only.
|
|
|
|
These values can be used as hints at best, as motherboard manufacturers
|
|
are free to use a completely different setup. As a matter of fact, the
|
|
Jetway K8M8MS uses a significantly different setup. You will have to
|
|
find out documentation about your own motherboard, and edit sensors.conf
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
|
|
Each voltage measured has associated low and high limits, each of which
|
|
triggers an alarm when crossed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fan Monitoring
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Fan rotation speeds are reported as 12-bit values from a gated clock
|
|
signal. Speeds down to 366 RPM can be measured. There is no theoretical
|
|
high limit, but values over 6000 RPM seem to cause problem. The effective
|
|
resolution is much lower than you would expect, the step between different
|
|
register values being 10 rather than 1.
|
|
|
|
The chip assumes 2 pulse-per-revolution fans.
|
|
|
|
An alarm is triggered if the rotation speed drops below a programmable
|
|
limit or is too low to be measured.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Temperature Monitoring
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Temperatures are reported in degrees Celsius. Each temperature measured
|
|
has a high limit, those crossing triggers an alarm. There is an associated
|
|
hysteresis value, below which the temperature has to drop before the
|
|
alarm is cleared.
|
|
|
|
All temperature channels are external, there is no embedded temperature
|
|
sensor. Each channel can be used for connecting either a thermal diode
|
|
or a thermistor. The driver reports the currently selected mode, but
|
|
doesn't allow changing it. In theory, the BIOS should have configured
|
|
everything properly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. The driver will report the method, but won't let you change
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
When the PWM method is used, you can select the operating frequency,
|
|
from 187.5 kHz (default) to 31 Hz. The best frequency depends on the
|
|
fan model. As a rule of thumb, lower frequencies seem to give better
|
|
control, but may generate annoying high-pitch noise. Fintek recommends
|
|
not going below 1 kHz, as the fan tachometers get confused by lower
|
|
frequencies as well.
|
|
|
|
When the DC method is used, Fintek recommends not going below 5 V, which
|
|
corresponds to a pwm value of 106 for the driver. The driver doesn't
|
|
enforce this limit though.
|
|
|
|
Three different fan control modes are supported:
|
|
|
|
* Manual mode
|
|
You ask for a specific PWM duty cycle or DC voltage.
|
|
|
|
* Fan speed mode
|
|
You ask for a specific fan speed. This mode assumes that pwm1
|
|
corresponds to fan1, pwm2 to fan2 and pwm3 to fan3.
|
|
|
|
* Temperature mode
|
|
You define 3 temperature/fan speed trip points, and the fan speed is
|
|
adjusted depending on the measured temperature, using interpolation.
|
|
This mode is not yet supported by the driver.
