<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
This document outlines the interface between the Linux scsi mid level
and lower level drivers. Lower level drivers are variously called HBA
(host bus adapter) drivers, host drivers (HD) or pseudo adapter drivers.
The latter alludes to the fact that a lower level driver may be a
bridge to another IO subsystem (and the "ide-scsi" driver is an example
of this). There can be many lower level drivers active in a running
system, but only one per hardware type. For example, the aic7xxx driver
controls adaptec controllers based on the 7xxx chip series. Most lower
level drivers can control one or more scsi hosts (a.k.a. scsi initiators).
</para>
<para>
This document can been found in an ASCII text file in the linux kernel
source: <filename>Documentation/scsi/scsi_mid_low_api.txt</filename> .
It currently hold a little more information than this document. The
<filename>drivers/scsi/hosts.h</filename> and <filename>
drivers/scsi/scsi.h</filename> headers contain descriptions of members
of important structures for the scsi subsystem.
</para>
</chapter>
<chapter id="driver-struct">
<title>Driver structure</title>
<para>
Traditionally a lower level driver for the scsi subsystem has been
at least two files in the drivers/scsi directory. For example, a
driver called "xyz" has a header file "xyz.h" and a source file
"xyz.c". [Actually there is no good reason why this couldn't all
be in one file.] Some drivers that have been ported to several operating
systems (e.g. aic7xxx which has separate files for generic and
OS-specific code) have more than two files. Such drivers tend to have
their own directory under the drivers/scsi directory.
</para>
<para>
scsi_module.c is normally included at the end of a lower
level driver. For it to work a declaration like this is needed before
it is included:
<programlisting>
static Scsi_Host_Template driver_template = DRIVER_TEMPLATE;
/* DRIVER_TEMPLATE should contain pointers to supported interface
functions. Scsi_Host_Template is defined hosts.h */
#include "scsi_module.c"
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
The scsi_module.c assumes the name "driver_template" is appropriately
defined. It contains 2 functions:
<orderedlist>
<listitem><para>
init_this_scsi_driver() called during builtin and module driver
initialization: invokes mid level's scsi_register_host()
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
exit_this_scsi_driver() called during closedown: invokes
mid level's scsi_unregister_host()
</para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
</para>
<para>
When a new, lower level driver is being added to Linux, the following
files (all found in the drivers/scsi directory) will need some attention:
Makefile, Config.help and Config.in . It is probably best to look at what
an existing lower level driver does in this regard.

<chapter id="locks">
<title>Locks</title>
<para>
Each Scsi_Host instance has a spin_lock called Scsi_Host::default_lock
which is initialized in scsi_register() [found in hosts.c]. Within the
same function the Scsi_Host::host_lock pointer is initialized to point
at default_lock with the scsi_assign_lock() function. Thereafter
lock and unlock operations performed by the mid level use the
Scsi_Host::host_lock pointer.
</para>
<para>
Lower level drivers can override the use of Scsi_Host::default_lock by
using scsi_assign_lock(). The earliest opportunity to do this would
be in the detect() function after it has invoked scsi_register(). It
could be replaced by a coarser grain lock (e.g. per driver) or a
lock of equal granularity (i.e. per host). Using finer grain locks
(e.g. per scsi device) may be possible by juggling locks in
queuecommand().
</para>

<chapter id="changes">
<title>Changes since lk 2.4 series</title>
<para>
io_request_lock has been replaced by several finer grained locks. The lock
relevant to lower level drivers is Scsi_Host::host_lock and there is one
per scsi host.
</para>
<para>
The older error handling mechanism has been removed. This means the
lower level interface functions abort() and reset() have been removed.
</para>
<para>
In the 2.4 series the scsi subsystem configuration descriptions were
aggregated with the configuration descriptions from all other Linux
subsystems in the Documentation/Configure.help file. In the 2.5 series,
the scsi subsystem now has its own (much smaller) drivers/scsi/Config.help
file.

over the SMBus.
af_ipmi - A network socket interface to IPMI. This doesn't take up
a character device in your system.
ipmi_watchdog - IPMI requires systems to have a very capable watchdog
timer. This driver implements the standard Linux watchdog timer
interface on top of the IPMI message handler.
Note that the KCS-only interface ahs been removed.
ipmi_poweroff - Some systems support the ability to be turned off via
IPMI commands.
These are all individually selectable via configuration options.
Note that the KCS-only interface has been removed. The af_ipmi driver
is no longer supported and has been removed because it was impossible
to do 32 bit emulation on 64-bit kernels with it.

Panic Timeouts
--------------
The OpenIPMI driver supports the ability to put semi-custom and custom
events in the system event log if a panic occurs. if you enable the
'Generate a panic event to all BMCs on a panic' option, you will get
one event on a panic in a standard IPMI event format. If you enable
the 'Generate OEM events containing the panic string' option, you will
also get a bunch of OEM events holding the panic string.
The field settings of the events are:
* Generator ID: 0x21 (kernel)
* EvM Rev: 0x03 (this event is formatting in IPMI 1.0 format)
* Sensor Type: 0x20 (OS critical stop sensor)
* Sensor #: The first byte of the panic string (0 if no panic string)
* Event Dir | Event Type: 0x6f (Assertion, sensor-specific event info)
* Event Data 1: 0xa1 (Runtime stop in OEM bytes 2 and 3)
* Event data 2: second byte of panic string
* Event data 3: third byte of panic string
See the IPMI spec for the details of the event layout. This event is
always sent to the local management controller. It will handle routing
the message to the right place
Other OEM events have the following format:
Record ID (bytes 0-1): Set by the SEL.
Record type (byte 2): 0xf0 (OEM non-timestamped)
byte 3: The slave address of the card saving the panic
byte 4: A sequence number (starting at zero)
The rest of the bytes (11 bytes) are the panic string. If the panic string
is longer than 11 bytes, multiple messages will be sent with increasing
sequence numbers.
Because you cannot send OEM events using the standard interface, this
function will attempt to find an SEL and add the events there. It
will first query the capabilities of the local management controller.
If it has an SEL, then they will be stored in the SEL of the local
management controller. If not, and the local management controller is
an event generator, the event receiver from the local management
controller will be queried and the events sent to the SEL on that
device. Otherwise, the events go nowhere since there is nowhere to
send them.
Poweroff
--------
If the poweroff capability is selected, the IPMI driver will install
a shutdown function into the standard poweroff function pointer. This
is in the ipmi_poweroff module. When the system requests a powerdown,
it will send the proper IPMI commands to do this. This is supported on
several platforms.
There is a module parameter named "poweroff_control" that may either be zero
(do a power down) or 2 (do a power cycle, power the system off, then power
it on in a few seconds). Setting ipmi_poweroff.poweroff_control=x will do
the same thing on the kernel command line. The parameter is also available
via the proc filesystem in /proc/ipmi/poweroff_control. Note that if the
system does not support power cycling, it will always to the power off.
Note that if you have ACPI enabled, the system will prefer using ACPI to
power off.

Contents
1. Introduction
2. Statistics Provided (with example)
3. Configuring cpufreq-stats
1. Introduction
cpufreq-stats is a driver that provices CPU frequency statistics for each CPU.
This statistics is provided in /sysfs as a bunch of read_only interfaces. This
interface (when configured) will appear in a seperate directory under cpufreq
in /sysfs (<sysfs root>/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/stats/) for each CPU.
Various statistics will form read_only files under this directory.
This driver is designed to be independent of any particular cpufreq_driver
that may be running on your CPU. So, it will work with any cpufreq_driver.
2. Statistics Provided (with example)
cpufreq stats provides following statistics (explained in detail below).
- time_in_state
- total_trans
- trans_table
All the statistics will be from the time the stats driver has been inserted
to the time when a read of a particular statistic is done. Obviously, stats
driver will not have any information about the the frequcny transitions before
the stats driver insertion.

- time_in_state
This gives the amount of time spent in each of the frequencies supported by
this CPU. The cat output will have "<frequency> <time>" pair in each line, which
will mean this CPU spent <time> usertime units of time at <frequency>. Output
will have one line for each of the supported freuencies. usertime units here
is 10mS (similar to other time exported in /proc).

This will give a fine grained information about all the CPU frequency
transitions. The cat output here is a two dimensional matrix, where an entry
<i,j> (row i, column j) represents the count of number of transitions from
Freq_i to Freq_j. Freq_i is in descending order with increasing rows and
Freq_j is in descending order with increasing columns. The output here also
contains the actual freq values for each row and column for better readability.

3. Configuring cpufreq-stats
To configure cpufreq-stats in your kernel
Config Main Menu
Power management options (ACPI, APM) --->
CPU Frequency scaling --->
[*] CPU Frequency scaling
<*> CPU frequency translation statistics
[*] CPU frequency translation statistics details
"CPU Frequency scaling" (CONFIG_CPU_FREQ) should be enabled to configure
cpufreq-stats.
"CPU frequency translation statistics" (CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT) provides the
basic statistics which includes time_in_state and total_trans.
"CPU frequency translation statistics details" (CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS)
provides fine grained cpufreq stats by trans_table. The reason for having a
seperate config option for trans_table is:
- trans_table goes against the traditional /sysfs rule of one value per
interface. It provides a whole bunch of value in a 2 dimensional matrix
form.
Once these two options are enabled and your CPU supports cpufrequency, you
will be able to see the CPU frequency statistics in /sysfs.

probe is called to verify the existence of a certain type of

bus has verified that the device ID of a device matches one of the
device IDs supported by the driver.
The probe() entry is called in task context, with the bus's rwsem locked
and the driver partially bound to the device. Drivers commonly use
container_of() to convert "dev" to a bus-specific type, both in probe()
and other routines. That type often provides device resource data, such
as pci_dev.resource[] or platform_device.resources, which is used in
addition to dev->platform_data to initialize the driver.
This callback only verifies that there actually is supported hardware
present. It may allocate a driver-specific structure, but it should
not do any initialization of the hardware itself. The device-specific
structure may be stored in the device's driver_data field.
This callback holds the driver-specific logic to bind the driver to a
given device. That includes verifying that the device is present, that
it's a version the driver can handle, that driver data structures can
be allocated and initialized, and that any hardware can be initialized.
Drivers often store a pointer to their state with dev_set_drvdata().
When the driver has successfully bound itself to that device, then probe()
returns zero and the driver model code will finish its part of binding
the driver to that device.

In March 2005 I got the new Twinhan USB2.0 DVB-T device. They provided specs and a firmware.
Copyright (C) 2004 Amaury Demol for DiBcom (ademol@dibcom.fr)
Quite keen I wanted to put the driver (with some quirks of course) into dibusb.
After reading some specs and doing some USB snooping, it realized, that the
dibusb-driver would be a complete mess afterwards. So I decided to do it in a
different way: With the help of a dvb-usb-framework.
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
published by the Free Software Foundation, version 2.
The framework provides generic functions (mostly kernel API calls), such as:
- Transport Stream URB handling in conjunction with dvb-demux-feed-control
(bulk and isoc (TODO) are supported)
- registering the device for the DVB-API
- registering an I2C-adapter if applicable
- remote-control/input-device handling
- firmware requesting and loading (currently just for the Cypress USB
controller)
- other functions/methods which can be shared by several drivers (such as
functions for bulk-control-commands)
The source code of the particular DVB USB devices does just the communication
with the device via the bus. The connection between the DVB-API-functionality
is done via callbacks, assigned in a static device-description (struct
dvb_usb_device) each device-driver has to have.
For an example have a look in drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/vp7045*.
Objective is to migrate all the usb-devices (dibusb, cinergyT2, maybe the
ttusb; flexcop-usb already benefits from the generic flexcop-device) to use
the dvb-usb-lib.

2.1. Adding support for devices
It is not possible to determine the range of devices based on the DiBcom
reference designs. This is because the reference design of DiBcom can be sold
to thirds, without telling DiBcom (so done with the Twinhan VP7041 and
the HAMA device).
When you think you have a device like this and the driver does not recognizes it,
please send the ****load*.inf and the ****cap*.inf of the Windows driver to me.
Sometimes the Vendor or Product ID is identical to the ones of Twinhan, even
though it is not a Twinhan device (e.g. HAMA), then please send me the name
of the device. I will add it to this list in order to make this clear to
others.
If you are familar with C you can also add the VID and PID of the device to
the dvb-dibusb-core.c-file and create a patch and send it over to me or to
the linux-dvb mailing list, _after_ you have tried compiling and modprobing
it.

A lot of the currently supported devices are USB1.1 and thus they have a
maximum bandwidth of about 5-6 MBit/s when connected to a USB2.0 hub.
This is not enough for receiving the complete transport stream of a
DVB-T channel (which can be about 16 MBit/s). Normally this is not a
DVB-T channel (which is about 16 MBit/s). Normally this is not a
problem, if you only want to watch TV (this does not apply for HDTV),
but watching a channel while recording another channel on the same
frequency simply does not work very well. This applies to all USB1.1
DVB-T devices, not just dibusb)
Update: For the USB1.1 and VDR some work has been done (patches and comments
are still very welcome). Maybe the problem is solved in the meantime because I

This README escorted the skystar2-driver rewriting procedure. It describes the
state of the new flexcop-driver set and some internals are written down here
too.
This document hopefully describes things about the flexcop and its
device-offsprings. Goal was to write an easy-to-write and easy-to-read set of
drivers based on the skystar2.c and other information.
Remark: flexcop-pci.c was a copy of skystar2.c, but every line has been
touched and rewritten.
History & News
==============
2005-04-01 - correct USB ISOC transfers (thanks to Vadim Catana)
General coding processing
=========================
We should proceed as follows (as long as no one complains):
0) Think before start writing code!
1) rewriting the skystar2.c with the help of the flexcop register descriptions
and splitting up the files to a pci-bus-part and a flexcop-part.
The new driver will be called b2c2-flexcop-pci.ko/b2c2-flexcop-usb.ko for the
device-specific part and b2c2-flexcop.ko for the common flexcop-functions.
2) Search for errors in the leftover of flexcop-pci.c (compare with pluto2.c
and other pci drivers)
3) make some beautification (see 'Improvements when rewriting (refactoring) is
done')
4) Testing the new driver and maybe substitute the skystar2.c with it, to reach
a wider tester audience.
5) creating an usb-bus-part using the already written flexcop code for the pci
card.
Idea: create a kernel-object for the flexcop and export all important
functions. This option saves kernel-memory, but maybe a lot of functions have
to be exported to kernel namespace.
Current situation
=================
0) Done :)
1) Done (some minor issues left)
2) Done
3) Not ready yet, more information is necessary
4) next to be done (see the table below)
5) USB driver is working (yes, there are some minor issues)
What seems to be ready?
-----------------------
1) Rewriting
1a) i2c is cut off from the flexcop-pci.c and seems to work
1b) moved tuner and demod stuff from flexcop-pci.c to flexcop-tuner-fe.c
1c) moved lnb and diseqc stuff from flexcop-pci.c to flexcop-tuner-fe.c
1e) eeprom (reading MAC address)
1d) sram (no dynamic sll size detection (commented out) (using default as JJ told me))
1f) misc. register accesses for reading parameters (e.g. resetting, revision)
1g) pid/mac filter (flexcop-hw-filter.c)
1i) dvb-stuff initialization in flexcop.c (done)
1h) dma stuff (now just using the size-irq, instead of all-together, to be done)
1j) remove flexcop initialization from flexcop-pci.c completely (done)
1l) use a well working dma IRQ method (done, see 'Known bugs and problems and TODO')
1k) cleanup flexcop-files (remove unused EXPORT_SYMBOLs, make static from
non-static where possible, moved code to proper places)
2) Search for errors in the leftover of flexcop-pci.c (partially done)
5a) add MAC address reading
5c) feeding of ISOC data to the software demux (format of the isochronous data
and speed optimization, no real error) (thanks to Vadim Catana)
What to do in the near future?
--------------------------------------
(no special order here)
5) USB driver
5b) optimize isoc-transfer (submitting/killing isoc URBs when transfer is starting)

Known bugs and problems and TODO
--------------------------------
1g/h/l) when pid filtering is enabled on the pci card
DMA usage currently:
The DMA is splitted in 2 equal-sized subbuffers. The Flexcop writes to first
address and triggers an IRQ when it's full and starts writing to the second
address. When the second address is full, the IRQ is triggered again, and
the flexcop writes to first address again, and so on.
The buffersize of each address is currently 640*188 bytes.
Problem is, when using hw-pid-filtering and doing some low-bandwidth
operation (like scanning) the buffers won't be filled enough to trigger
the IRQ. That's why:
When PID filtering is activated, the timer IRQ is used. Every 1.97 ms the IRQ
is triggered. Is the current write address of DMA1 different to the one
during the last IRQ, then the data is passed to the demuxer.
There is an additional DMA-IRQ-method: packet count IRQ. This isn't
implemented correctly yet.
The solution is to disable HW PID filtering, but I don't know how the DVB
API software demux behaves on slow systems with 45MBit/s TS.
Solved bugs :)
--------------
1g) pid-filtering (somehow pid index 4 and 5 (EMM_PID and ECM_PID) aren't
working)
SOLUTION: also index 0 was affected, because net_translation is done for
these indexes by default
5b) isochronous transfer does only work in the first attempt (for the Sky2PC
USB, Air2PC is working) SOLUTION: the flexcop was going asleep and never really
woke up again (don't know if this need fixes, see
flexcop-fe-tuner.c:flexcop_sleep)
NEWS: when the driver is loaded and unloaded and loaded again (w/o doing
anything in the while the driver is loaded the first time), no transfers take
place anymore.
Improvements when rewriting (refactoring) is done
=================================================
- split sleeping of the flexcop (misc_204.ACPI3_sig = 1;) from lnb_control
(enable sleeping for other demods than dvb-s)
- add support for CableStar (stv0297 Microtune 203x/ALPS) (almost done, incompatibilities with the Nexus-CA)
Debugging
---------
- add verbose debugging to skystar2.c (dump the reg_dw_data) and compare it
with this flexcop, this is important, because i2c is now using the
flexcop_ibi_value union from flexcop-reg.h (do you have a better idea for
that, please tell us so).
Everything which is identical in the following table, can be put into a common
flexcop-module.
PCI USB
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Different:
Register access: accessing IO memory USB control message
I2C bus: I2C bus of the FC USB control message
Data transfer: DMA isochronous transfer
EEPROM transfer: through i2c bus not clear yet
Identical:
Streaming: accessing registers
PID Filtering: accessing registers
Sram destinations: accessing registers
Tuner/Demod: I2C bus

In general you need to load the bttv driver, which will handle the gpio and
i2c communication for us. Next you need the common dvb-bt8xx device driver
and one frontend driver.
The bttv driver will HANG YOUR SYSTEM IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY THE CORRECT
CARD ID!
(If you don't get your card running and you suspect that the card id you're
using is wrong, have a look at "bttv-cards.c" for a list of possible card
ids.)
Pay attention to failures when you load the frontend drivers
(e.g. dmesg, /var/log/messages).
i2c communication for us, plus the common dvb-bt8xx device driver.
The frontends for Nebula (nxt6000), Pinnacle PCTV (cx24110) and
TwinHan (dst) are loaded automatically by the dvb-bt8xx device driver.
3a) Nebula / Pinnacle PCTV
--------------------------
$ modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x68
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
For Nebula cards use the "nxt6000" frontend driver:
$ modprobe nxt6000
$ modprobe bttv (normally bttv is being loaded automatically by kmod)
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx (or just place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules for automatic loading)
For Pinnacle PCTV cards use the "cx24110" frontend driver:
$ modprobe cx24110
3b) TwinHan

3b) TwinHan and Clones
--------------------------
$ modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx

If you're having an older card (blue color circuit) and card=0x71 locks
your machine, try using 0x68, too. If that does not work, ask on the
mailing list.
The DST module takes a couple of useful parameters, in case the
dst drivers fails to detect your type of card correctly.
The DST module takes a couple of useful parameters:
dst_type takes values 0 (satellite), 1 (terrestial TV), 2 (cable).
a. verbose takes values 0 to 5. These values control the verbosity level.
b. debug takes values 0 and 1. You can either disable or enable debugging.
c. dst_addons takes values 0 and 0x20:
- A value of 0 means it is a FTA card.
- A value of 0x20 means it has a Conditional Access slot.
dst_type_flags takes bit combined values:
1 = new tuner type packets. You can use this if your card is detected
and you have debug and you continually see the tuner packets not
working (make sure not a basic problem like dish alignment etc.)
2 = TS 204. If your card tunes OK, but the picture is terrible, seemingly
breaking up in one half continually, and crc fails a lot, then
this is worth a try (or trying to turn off)
4 = has symdiv. Some cards, mostly without new tuner packets, require
a symbol division algorithm. Doesn't apply to terrestial TV.
You can also specify a value to have the autodetected values turned off
(e.g. 0). The autodected values are determined bythe cards 'response
string' which you can see in your logs e.g.
dst_check_ci: recognize DST-MOT
or
dst_check_ci: unable to recognize DSTXCI or STXCI
The autodetected values are determined by the "response string"
of the card, which you can see in your logs:
e.g.: dst_get_device_id: Recognize [DSTMCI]

* For the user
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE: This document describes the usage of the high level CI API as
in accordance to the Linux DVB API. This is a not a documentation for the,
existing low level CI API.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To utilize the High Level CI capabilities,
(1*) This point is valid only for the Twinhan/clones
For the Twinhan/Twinhan clones, the dst_ca module handles the CI
hardware handling.This module is loaded automatically if a CI
(Common Interface, that holds the CAM (Conditional Access Module)
is detected.
(2) one requires a userspace application, ca_zap. This small userland
application is in charge of sending the descrambling related information
to the CAM.
This application requires the following to function properly as of now.
(a) Tune to a valid channel, with szap.
eg: $ szap -c channels.conf -r "TMC" -x
(b) a channels.conf containing a valid PMT PID
eg: TMC:11996:h:0:27500:278:512:650:321
here 278 is a valid PMT PID. the rest of the values are the
same ones that szap uses.
(c) after running a szap, you have to run ca_zap, for the
descrambler to function,
eg: $ ca_zap patched_channels.conf "TMC"
The patched means a patch to apply to scan, such that scan can
generate a channels.conf_with pmt, which has this PMT PID info
(NOTE: szap cannot use this channels.conf with the PMT_PID)
(d) Hopeflly Enjoy your favourite subscribed channel as you do with
a FTA card.
(3) Currently ca_zap, and dst_test, both are meant for demonstration
purposes only, they can become full fledged applications if necessary.
* Cards that fall in this category
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At present the cards that fall in this category are the Twinhan and it's
clones, these cards are available as VVMER, Tomato, Hercules, Orange and
so on.
* CI modules that are supported
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The CI module support is largely dependant upon the firmware on the cards
Some cards do support almost all of the available CI modules. There is
nothing much that can be done in order to make additional CI modules
working with these cards.
Modules that have been tested by this driver at present are
(1) Irdeto 1 and 2 from SCM
(2) Viaccess from SCM
(3) Dragoncam
* The High level CI API
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* For the programmer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the High Level CI approach any new card with almost any random
architecture can be implemented with this style, the definitions
insidethe switch statement can be easily adapted for any card, thereby
eliminating the need for any additional ioctls.
The disadvantage is that the driver/hardware has to manage the rest. For
the application programmer it would be as simple as sending/receiving an
array to/from the CI ioctls as defined in the Linux DVB API. No changes
have been made in the API to accomodate this feature.
* Why the need for another CI interface ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is one of the most commonly asked question. Well a nice question.
Strictly speaking this is not a new interface.
The CI interface is defined in the DVB API in ca.h as
typedef struct ca_slot_info {
int num; /* slot number */
int type; /* CA interface this slot supports */
#define CA_CI 1 /* CI high level interface */
#define CA_CI_LINK 2 /* CI link layer level interface */
#define CA_CI_PHYS 4 /* CI physical layer level interface */
#define CA_DESCR 8 /* built-in descrambler */
#define CA_SC 128 /* simple smart card interface */
unsigned int flags;
#define CA_CI_MODULE_PRESENT 1 /* module (or card) inserted */
#define CA_CI_MODULE_READY 2
} ca_slot_info_t;
This CI interface follows the CI high level interface, which is not
implemented by most applications. Hence this area is revisited.
This CI interface is quite different in the case that it tries to
accomodate all other CI based devices, that fall into the other categories
This means that this CI interface handles the EN50221 style tags in the
Application layer only and no session management is taken care of by the
application. The driver/hardware will take care of all that.
This interface is purely an EN50221 interface exchanging APDU's. This
means that no session management, link layer or a transport layer do
exist in this case in the application to driver communication. It is
as simple as that. The driver/hardware has to take care of that.
With this High Level CI interface, the interface can be defined with the

Intel 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G Framebuffer driver
================================================================
A. Introduction
This is a framebuffer driver for various Intel 810/815 compatible
graphics devices. These would include:
Intel 830M
Intel 810E845G
Intel 852GM
Intel 855GM
Intel 865G
Intel 915G
B. List of available options
a. "video=intelfb"
enables the intelfb driver
Recommendation: required
b. "mode=<xres>x<yres>[-<bpp>][@<refresh>]"
select mode
Recommendation: user preference
(default = 1024x768-32@70)
c. "vram=<value>"
select amount of system RAM in MB to allocate for the video memory
if not enough RAM was already allocated by the BIOS.
Recommendation: 1 - 4 MB.
(default = 4 MB)
d. "voffset=<value>"
select at what offset in MB of the logical memory to allocate the
framebuffer memory. The intent is to avoid the memory blocks
used by standard graphics applications (XFree86). Depending on your
usage, adjust the value up or down, (0 for maximum usage, 63/127 MB
for the least amount). Note, an arbitrary setting may conflict
with XFree86.
Recommendation: do not set
(default = 48 MB)
e. "accel"
enable text acceleration. This can be enabled/reenabled anytime
by using 'fbset -accel true/false'.
Recommendation: enable
(default = set)
f. "hwcursor"
enable cursor acceleration.
Recommendation: enable
(default = set)
g. "mtrr"
enable MTRR. This allows data transfers to the framebuffer memory
to occur in bursts which can significantly increase performance.
Not very helpful with the intel chips because of 'shared memory'.
Recommendation: set
(default = set)
h. "fixed"
disable mode switching.
Recommendation: do not set
(default = not set)
The binary parameters can be unset with a "no" prefix, example "noaccel".
The default parameter (not named) is the mode.
C. Kernel booting
Separate each option/option-pair by commas (,) and the option from its value
with an equals sign (=) as in the following:
video=i810fb:option1,option2=value2
Sample Usage
------------
In /etc/lilo.conf, add the line:
append="video=intelfb:800x600-32@75,accel,hwcursor,vram=8"
This will initialize the framebuffer to 800x600 at 32bpp and 75Hz. The
framebuffer will use 8 MB of System RAM. hw acceleration of text and cursor
will be enabled.
D. Module options
The module parameters are essentially similar to the kernel
parameters. The main difference is that you need to include a Boolean value
(1 for TRUE, and 0 for FALSE) for those options which don't need a value.
Example, to enable MTRR, include "mtrr=1".
Sample Usage
------------
Using the same setup as described above, load the module like this:
modprobe intelfb mode=800x600-32@75 vram=8 accel=1 hwcursor=1
Or just add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf
options intelfb mode=800x600-32@75 vram=8 accel=1 hwcursor=1
and just do a
modprobe intelfb
E. Acknowledgment:
1. Geert Uytterhoeven - his excellent howto and the virtual
framebuffer driver code made this possible.
2. Jeff Hartmann for his agpgart code.
3. David Dawes for his original kernel 2.4 code.
4. The X developers. Insights were provided just by reading the
XFree86 source code.

Execute-in-place for file mappings
----------------------------------
Motivation
----------
File mappings are performed by mapping page cache pages to userspace. In
addition, read&write type file operations also transfer data from/to the page
cache.
For memory backed storage devices that use the block device interface, the page
cache pages are in fact copies of the original storage. Various approaches
exist to work around the need for an extra copy. The ramdisk driver for example
does read the data into the page cache, keeps a reference, and discards the
original data behind later on.
Execute-in-place solves this issue the other way around: instead of keeping
data in the page cache, the need to have a page cache copy is eliminated
completely. With execute-in-place, read&write type operations are performed
directly from/to the memory backed storage device. For file mappings, the
storage device itself is mapped directly into userspace.
This implementation was initialy written for shared memory segments between
different virtual machines on s390 hardware to allow multiple machines to
share the same binaries and libraries.
Implementation
--------------
Execute-in-place is implemented in three steps: block device operation,
address space operation, and file operations.
A block device operation named direct_access is used to retrieve a
reference (pointer) to a block on-disk. The reference is supposed to be
cpu-addressable, physical address and remain valid until the release operation
is performed. A struct block_device reference is used to address the device,
and a sector_t argument is used to identify the individual block. As an
alternative, memory technology devices can be used for this.
The block device operation is optional, these block devices support it as of
today:
- dcssblk: s390 dcss block device driver
An address space operation named get_xip_page is used to retrieve reference
to a struct page. To address the target page, a reference to an address_space,
and a sector number is provided. A 3rd argument indicates whether the
function should allocate blocks if needed.
This address space operation is mutually exclusive with readpage&writepage that
do page cache read/write operations.
The following filesystems support it as of today:
- ext2: the second extended filesystem, see Documentation/filesystems/ext2.txt
A set of file operations that do utilize get_xip_page can be found in
mm/filemap_xip.c . The following file operation implementations are provided:
- aio_read/aio_write
- readv/writev
- sendfile
The generic file operations do_sync_read/do_sync_write can be used to implement
classic synchronous IO calls.
Shortcomings
------------
This implementation is limited to storage devices that are cpu addressable at
all times (no highmem or such). It works well on rom/ram, but enhancements are
needed to make it work with flash in read+write mode.
Putting the Linux kernel and/or its modules on a xip filesystem does not mean
they are not copied.

Description
-----------
The chips supported by this driver are very similar. The Maxim MAX1617 is
the oldest; it has the problem that it is not very well detectable. The
MAX1617A solves that. The ADM1021 is a straight clone of the MAX1617A.
Ditto for the THMC10. From here on, we will refer to all these chips as
ADM1021-clones.
The ADM1021 and MAX1617A reports a die code, which is a sort of revision
code. This can help us pinpoint problems; it is not very useful
otherwise.
ADM1021-clones implement two temperature sensors. One of them is internal,
and measures the temperature of the chip itself; the other is external and
is realised in the form of a transistor-like device. A special alarm
indicates whether the remote sensor is connected.
Each sensor has its own low and high limits. When they are crossed, the
corresponding alarm is set and remains on as long as the temperature stays
out of range. Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. Measurements
are possible between -65 and +127 degrees, with a resolution of one degree.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
have disappeared!
This driver only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. It is possible to make
ADM1021-clones do faster measurements, but there is really no good reason
for that.
Xeon support
------------
Some Xeon processors have real max1617, adm1021, or compatible chips
within them, with two temperature sensors.
Other Xeons have chips with only one sensor.
If you have a Xeon, and the adm1021 module loads, and both temperatures
appear valid, then things are good.
If the adm1021 module doesn't load, you should try this:
modprobe adm1021 force_adm1021=BUS,ADDRESS
ADDRESS can only be 0x18, 0x1a, 0x29, 0x2b, 0x4c, or 0x4e.
If you have dual Xeons you may have appear to have two separate
adm1021-compatible chips, or two single-temperature sensors, at distinct
addresses.

Description
-----------
(This is from Analog Devices.) The ADM1025 is a complete system hardware
monitor for microprocessor-based systems, providing measurement and limit
comparison of various system parameters. Five voltage measurement inputs
are provided, for monitoring +2.5V, +3.3V, +5V and +12V power supplies and
the processor core voltage. The ADM1025 can monitor a sixth power-supply
voltage by measuring its own VCC. One input (two pins) is dedicated to a
remote temperature-sensing diode and an on-chip temperature sensor allows
ambient temperature to be monitored.
One specificity of this chip is that the pin 11 can be hardwired in two
different manners. It can act as the +12V power-supply voltage analog
input, or as the a fifth digital entry for the VID reading (bit 4). It's
kind of strange since both are useful, and the reason for designing the
chip that way is obscure at least to me. The bit 5 of the configuration
register can be used to define how the chip is hardwired. Please note that
it is not a choice you have to make as the user. The choice was already
made by your motherboard's maker. If the configuration bit isn't set
properly, you'll have a wrong +12V reading or a wrong VID reading. The way
the driver handles that is to preserve this bit through the initialization
process, assuming that the BIOS set it up properly beforehand. If it turns
out not to be true in some cases, we'll provide a module parameter to force
modes.
This driver also supports the ADM1025A, which differs from the ADM1025
only in that it has "open-drain VID inputs while the ADM1025 has on-chip
100k pull-ups on the VID inputs". It doesn't make any difference for us.

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADM1026. Analog
Devices calls it a "complete thermal system management controller."
The ADM1026 implements three (3) temperature sensors, 17 voltage sensors,
16 general purpose digital I/O lines, eight (8) fan speed sensors (8-bit),
an analog output and a PWM output along with limit, alarm and mask bits for
all of the above. There is even 8k bytes of EEPROM memory on chip.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. There are two external
sensor inputs and one internal sensor. Each sensor has a high and low
limit. If the limit is exceeded, an interrupt (#SMBALERT) can be
generated. The interrupts can be masked. In addition, there are over-temp
limits for each sensor. If this limit is exceeded, the #THERM output will
be asserted. The current temperature and limits have a resolution of 1
degree.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute) but measured
in counts of a 22.5kHz internal clock. Each fan has a high limit which
corresponds to a minimum fan speed. If the limit is exceeded, an interrupt
can be generated. Each fan can be programmed to divide the reference clock
by 1, 2, 4 or 8. Not all RPM values can accurately be represented, so some
rounding is done. With a divider of 8, the slowest measurable speed of a
two pulse per revolution fan is 661 RPM.
There are 17 voltage sensors. An alarm is triggered if the voltage has
crossed a programmable minimum or maximum limit. Note that minimum in this
case always means 'closest to zero'; this is important for negative voltage
measurements. Several inputs have integrated attenuators so they can measure
higher voltages directly. 3.3V, 5V, 12V, -12V and battery voltage all have
dedicated inputs. There are several inputs scaled to 0-3V full-scale range
for SCSI terminator power. The remaining inputs are not scaled and have
a 0-2.5V full-scale range. A 2.5V or 1.82V reference voltage is provided
for negative voltage measurements.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware
registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 2.0
seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss
once-only alarms.
The ADM1026 measures continuously. Analog inputs are measured about 4
times a second. Fan speed measurement time depends on fan speed and
divisor. It can take as long as 1.5 seconds to measure all fan speeds.
The ADM1026 has the ability to automatically control fan speed based on the
temperature sensor inputs. Both the PWM output and the DAC output can be
used to control fan speed. Usually only one of these two outputs will be
used. Write the minimum PWM or DAC value to the appropriate control
register. Then set the low temperature limit in the tmin values for each
temperature sensor. The range of control is fixed at 20 °C, and the
largest difference between current and tmin of the temperature sensors sets
the control output. See the datasheet for several example circuits for
controlling fan speed with the PWM and DAC outputs. The fan speed sensors
do not have PWM compensation, so it is probably best to control the fan
voltage from the power lead rather than on the ground lead.
The datasheet shows an example application with VID signals attached to
GPIO lines. Unfortunately, the chip may not be connected to the VID lines
in this way. The driver assumes that the chips *is* connected this way to
get a VID voltage.

Interface
---------
The I2C addresses listed above assume BIOS has not changed the
chip MSB 5-bit address. Each chip reports a unique manufacturer
identification code as well as the chip revision/stepping level.
Description
-----------
[From ADM9240] The ADM9240 is a complete system hardware monitor for
microprocessor-based systems, providing measurement and limit comparison
of up to four power supplies and two processor core voltages, plus
temperature, two fan speeds and chassis intrusion. Measured values can
be read out via an I2C-compatible serial System Management Bus, and values
for limit comparisons can be programmed in over the same serial bus. The
high speed successive approximation ADC allows frequent sampling of all
analog channels to ensure a fast interrupt response to any out-of-limit
measurement.
The ADM9240, DS1780 and LM81 are register compatible, the following
details are common to the three chips. Chip differences are described
after this section.
Measurements
------------
The measurement cycle
The adm9240 driver will take a measurement reading no faster than once
each two seconds. User-space may read sysfs interface faster than the
measurement update rate and will receive cached data from the most
recent measurement.
ADM9240 has a very fast 320us temperature and voltage measurement cycle
with independent fan speed measurement cycles counting alternating rising
edges of the fan tacho inputs.
DS1780 measurement cycle is about once per second including fan speed.
LM81 measurement cycle is about once per 400ms including fan speed.
The LM81 12-bit extended temperature measurement mode is not supported.
Temperature
-----------
On chip temperature is reported as degrees Celsius as 9-bit signed data
with resolution of 0.5 degrees Celsius. High and low temperature limits
are 8-bit signed data with resolution of one degree Celsius.
Temperature alarm is asserted once the temperature exceeds the high limit,
and is cleared when the temperature falls below the temp1_max_hyst value.
Fan Speed
---------
Two fan tacho inputs are provided, the ADM9240 gates an internal 22.5kHz
clock via a divider to an 8-bit counter. Fan speed (rpm) is calculated by:
rpm = (22500 * 60) / (count * divider)
Automatic fan clock divider
* User sets 0 to fan_min limit
- low speed alarm is disabled
- fan clock divider not changed
- auto fan clock adjuster enabled for valid fan speed reading
* User sets fan_min limit too low
- low speed alarm is enabled
- fan clock divider set to max
- fan_min set to register value 254 which corresponds
to 664 rpm on adm9240
- low speed alarm will be asserted if fan speed is
less than minimum measurable speed
- auto fan clock adjuster disabled
* User sets reasonable fan speed
- low speed alarm is enabled
- fan clock divider set to suit fan_min
- auto fan clock adjuster enabled: adjusts fan_min
* User sets unreasonably high low fan speed limit
- resolution of the low speed limit may be reduced
- alarm will be asserted
- auto fan clock adjuster enabled: adjusts fan_min
* fan speed may be displayed as zero until the auto fan clock divider
adjuster brings fan speed clock divider back into chip measurement
range, this will occur within a few measurement cycles.
Analog Output
-------------
An analog output provides a 0 to 1.25 volt signal intended for an external
fan speed amplifier circuit. The analog output is set to maximum value on
power up or reset. This doesn't do much on the test Intel SE440BX-2.
Voltage Monitor
Voltage (IN) measurement is internally scaled:
nr label nominal maximum resolution
mV mV mV
0 +2.5V 2500 3320 13.0
1 Vccp1 2700 3600 14.1
2 +3.3V 3300 4380 17.2
3 +5V 5000 6640 26.0
4 +12V 12000 15940 62.5
5 Vccp2 2700 3600 14.1
The reading is an unsigned 8-bit value, nominal voltage measurement is
represented by a reading of 192, being 3/4 of the measurement range.
An alarm is asserted for any voltage going below or above the set limits.
The driver reports and accepts voltage limits scaled to the above table.
VID Monitor
-----------
The chip has five inputs to read the 5-bit VID and reports the mV value
based on detected CPU type.
Chassis Intrusion
-----------------
An alarm is asserted when the CI pin goes active high. The ADM9240
Datasheet has an example of an external temperature sensor driving
this pin. On an Intel SE440BX-2 the Chassis Intrusion header is
connected to a normally open switch.
The ADM9240 provides an internal open drain on this line, and may output
a 20 ms active low pulse to reset an external Chassis Intrusion latch.
Clear the CI latch by writing value 1 to the sysfs chassis_clear file.
Alarm flags reported as 16-bit word
bit label comment
--- ------------- --------------------------
0 +2.5 V_Error high or low limit exceeded
1 VCCP_Error high or low limit exceeded
2 +3.3 V_Error high or low limit exceeded
3 +5 V_Error high or low limit exceeded
4 Temp_Error temperature error
6 FAN1_Error fan low limit exceeded
7 FAN2_Error fan low limit exceeded
8 +12 V_Error high or low limit exceeded
9 VCCP2_Error high or low limit exceeded
12 Chassis_Error CI pin went high
Remaining bits are reserved and thus undefined. It is important to note
that alarm bits may be cleared on read, user-space may latch alarms and
provide the end-user with a method to clear alarm memory.

Kernel driver asb100
====================
Supported Chips:
* Asus ASB100 and ASB100-A "Bach"
Prefix: 'asb100'
Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2d
Datasheet: none released
Author: Mark M. Hoffman <mhoffman@lightlink.com>
Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the Asus ASB100 and ASB100-A "Bach".
These are custom ASICs available only on Asus mainboards. Asus refuses to
supply a datasheet for these chips. Thanks go to many people who helped
investigate their hardware, including:
Vitaly V. Bursov
Alexander van Kaam (author of MBM for Windows)
Bertrik Sikken
The ASB100 implements seven voltage sensors, three fan rotation speed
sensors, four temperature sensors, VID lines and alarms. In addition to
these, the ASB100-A also implements a single PWM controller for fans 2 and
3 (i.e. one setting controls both.) If you have a plain ASB100, the PWM
controller will simply not work (or maybe it will for you... it doesn't for
me).
Temperatures are measured and reported in degrees Celsius.
Fan speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit.
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report values in volts.
The VID lines encode the core voltage value: the voltage level your
processor should work with. This is hardcoded by the mainboard and/or
processor itself. It is a value in volts.
Alarms: (TODO question marks indicate may or may not work)
0x0001 => in0 (?)
0x0002 => in1 (?)
0x0004 => in2
0x0008 => in3
0x0010 => temp1 (1)
0x0020 => temp2
0x0040 => fan1
0x0080 => fan2
0x0100 => in4
0x0200 => in5 (?) (2)
0x0400 => in6 (?) (2)
0x0800 => fan3
0x1000 => chassis switch
0x2000 => temp3
Alarm Notes:
(1) This alarm will only trigger if the hysteresis value is 127C.
I.e. it behaves the same as w83781d.
(2) The min and max registers for these values appear to
be read-only or otherwise stuck at 0x00.
TODO:
* Experiment with fan divisors > 8.
* Experiment with temp. sensor types.
* Are there really 13 voltage inputs? Probably not...
* Cleanups, no doubt...

Module Parameters
------------------
* polarity int
Output's polarity: 0 = active high, 1 = active low
Description
-----------
The DS1621 is a (one instance) digital thermometer and thermostat. It has
both high and low temperature limits which can be user defined (i.e.
programmed into non-volatile on-chip registers). Temperature range is -55
degree Celsius to +125 in 0.5 increments. You may convert this into a
Fahrenheit range of -67 to +257 degrees with 0.9 steps. If polarity
parameter is not provided, original value is used.
As for the thermostat, behavior can also be programmed using the polarity
toggle. On the one hand ("heater"), the thermostat output of the chip,
Tout, will trigger when the low limit temperature is met or underrun and
stays high until the high limit is met or exceeded. On the other hand
("cooler"), vice versa. That way "heater" equals "active low", whereas
"conditioner" equals "active high". Please note that the DS1621 data sheet
is somewhat misleading in this point since setting the polarity bit does
not simply invert Tout.
A second thing is that, during extensive testing, Tout showed a tolerance
of up to +/- 0.5 degrees even when compared against precise temperature
readings. Be sure to have a high vs. low temperature limit gap of al least
1.0 degree Celsius to avoid Tout "bouncing", though!
As for alarms, you can read the alarm status of the DS1621 via the 'alarms'
/sys file interface. The result consists mainly of bit 6 and 5 of the
configuration register of the chip; bit 6 (0x40 or 64) is the high alarm
bit and bit 5 (0x20 or 32) the low one. These bits are set when the high or
low limits are met or exceeded and are reset by the module as soon as the
respective temperature ranges are left.
The alarm registers are in no way suitable to find out about the actual
status of Tout. They will only tell you about its history, whether or not
any of the limits have ever been met or exceeded since last power-up or
reset. Be aware: When testing, it showed that the status of Tout can change
with neither of the alarms set.
Temperature conversion of the DS1621 takes up to 1000ms; internal access to
non-volatile registers may last for 10ms or below.
High Accuracy Temperature Reading
---------------------------------
As said before, the temperature issued via the 9-bit i2c-bus data is
somewhat arbitrary. Internally, the temperature conversion is of a
different kind that is explained (not so...) well in the DS1621 data sheet.
To cut the long story short: Inside the DS1621 there are two oscillators,
both of them biassed by a temperature coefficient.
Higher resolution of the temperature reading can be achieved using the
internal projection, which means taking account of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE
(the driver manages them):
Taken from Dallas Semiconductors App Note 068: 'Increasing Temperature
Resolution on the DS1620' and App Note 105: 'High Resolution Temperature
Measurement with Dallas Direct-to-Digital Temperature Sensors'
- Read the 9-bit temperature and strip the LSB (Truncate the .5 degs)
- The resulting value is TEMP_READ.
- Then, read REG_COUNT.
- And then, REG_SLOPE.
TEMP = TEMP_READ - 0.25 + ((REG_SLOPE - REG_COUNT) / REG_SLOPE)
Note that this is what the DONE bit in the DS1621 configuration register is
good for: Internally, one temperature conversion takes up to 1000ms. Before
that conversion is complete you will not be able to read valid things out
of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE. The DONE bit, as you may have guessed by now,
tells you whether the conversion is complete ("done", in plain English) and
thus, whether the values you read are good or not.
The DS1621 has two modes of operation: "Continuous" conversion, which can
be understood as the default stand-alone mode where the chip gets the
temperature and controls external devices via its Tout pin or tells other
i2c's about it if they care. The other mode is called "1SHOT", that means
that it only figures out about the temperature when it is explicitly told
to do so; this can be seen as power saving mode.
Now if you want to read REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE, you have to either stop
the continuous conversions until the contents of these registers are valid,
or, in 1SHOT mode, you have to have one conversion made.

Description
-----------
This is a simple EEPROM module meant to enable reading the first 256 bytes
of an EEPROM (on a SDRAM DIMM for example). However, it will access serial
EEPROMs on any I2C adapter. The supported devices are generically called
24Cxx, and are listed above; however the numbering for these
industry-standard devices may vary by manufacturer.
This module was a programming exercise to get used to the new project
organization laid out by Frodo, but it should be at least completely
effective for decoding the contents of EEPROMs on DIMMs.
DIMMS will typically contain a 24C01A or 24C02, or the 34C02 variants.
The other devices will not be found on a DIMM because they respond to more
than one address.
DDC Monitors may contain any device. Often a 24C01, which responds to all 8
addresses, is found.
Recent Sony Vaio laptops have an EEPROM at 0x57. We couldn't get the
specification, so it is guess work and far from being complete.
The Microchip 24AA52/24LCS52, ST M34C02, and others support an additional
software write protect register at 0x30 - 0x37 (0x20 less than the memory
location). The chip responds to "write quick" detection at this address but
does not respond to byte reads. If this register is present, the lower 128
bytes of the memory array are not write protected. Any byte data write to
this address will write protect the memory array permanently, and the
device will no longer respond at the 0x30-37 address. The eeprom driver
does not support this register.
Lacking functionality:
* Full support for larger devices (24C04, 24C08, 24C16). These are not
typically found on a PC. These devices will appear as separate devices at
multiple addresses.
* Support for really large devices (24C32, 24C64, 24C128, 24C256, 24C512).
These devices require two-byte address fields and are not supported.
* Enable Writing. Again, no technical reason why not, but making it easy
to change the contents of the EEPROMs (on DIMMs anyway) also makes it easy
to disable the DIMMs (potentially preventing the computer from booting)
until the values are restored somehow.
Use:
After inserting the module (and any other required SMBus/i2c modules), you
should have some EEPROM directories in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/* of names such
as "0-0050". Inside each of these is a series of files, the eeprom file
contains the binary data from EEPROM.

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the Fujitsu-Siemens Hermes chip. It is
described in the 'Register Set Specification BMC Hermes based Systemboard'
from Fujitsu-Siemens.
The Hermes chip implements a hardware-based system management, e.g. for
controlling fan speed and core voltage. There is also a watchdog counter on
the chip which can trigger an alarm and even shut the system down.
The chip provides three temperature values (CPU, motherboard and
auxiliary), three voltage values (+12V, +5V and battery) and three fans
(power supply, CPU and auxiliary).
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. The resolution is 1 degree.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). The value
can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2 or 4) which is stored on
the chip.
Voltage sensors (also known as "in" sensors) report their values in volts.
All values are reported as final values from the driver. There is no need
for further calculations.
Detailed description
--------------------
Below you'll find a single line description of all the bit values. With
this information, you're able to decode e. g. alarms, wdog, etc. To make
use of the watchdog, you'll need to set the watchdog time and enable the
watchdog. After that it is necessary to restart the watchdog time within
the specified period of time, or a system reset will occur.

READING: actual RPM value
Limitations
-----------
* Measuring fan speed
It seems that the chip counts "ripples" (typical fans produce 2 ripples per
rotation while VERAX fans produce 18) in a 9-bit register. This register is
read out every second, then the ripple prescaler (2, 4 or 8) is applied and
the result is stored in the 8 bit output register. Due to the limitation of
the counting register to 9 bits, it is impossible to measure a VERAX fan
properly (even with a prescaler of 8). At its maximum speed of 3500 RPM the
fan produces 1080 ripples per second which causes the counting register to
overflow twice, leading to only 186 RPM.
* Measuring input voltages
in2 ("battery") reports the voltage of the onboard lithium battery and not
+3.3V from the power supply.
* Undocumented features
Fujitsu-Siemens Computers has not documented all features of the chip so
far. Their software, System Guard, shows that there are a still some
features which cannot be controlled by this implementation.

Description
-----------
IMPORTANT:
For the revision 0x00 chip, the in0, in1, and in2 values (+5V, +3V,
and +12V) CANNOT be read. This is a limitation of the chip, not the driver.
This driver supports the Genesys Logic GL518SM chip. There are at least
two revision of this chip, which we call revision 0x00 and 0x80. Revision
0x80 chips support the reading of all voltages and revision 0x00 only
for VIN3.
The GL518SM implements one temperature sensor, two fan rotation speed
sensors, and four voltage sensors. It can report alarms through the
computer speakers.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm goes off while the
temperature is above the over temperature limit, and has not yet dropped
below the hysteresis limit. The alarm always reflects the current
situation. Measurements are guaranteed between -10 degrees and +110
degrees, with a accuracy of +/-3 degrees.
Rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. In
case when you have selected to turn fan1 off, no fan1 alarm is triggered.
Fan readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to
give the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can
accurately be represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider
of 2, the lowest representable value is around 1900 RPM.
Voltage sensors (also known as VIN sensors) report their values in volts.
An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or
maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. The VDD input
measures voltages between 0.000 and 5.865 volt, with a resolution of 0.023
volt. The other inputs measure voltages between 0.000 and 4.845 volt, with
a resolution of 0.019 volt. Note that revision 0x00 chips do not support
reading the current voltage of any input except for VIN3; limit setting and
alarms work fine, though.
When an alarm is triggered, you can be warned by a beeping signal through your
computer speaker. It is possible to enable all beeping globally, or only the
beeping for some alarms.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once (except for temperature alarms). This means that the
cause for the alarm may already have disappeared! Note that in the current
implementation, all hardware registers are read whenever any data is read
(unless it is less than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that
you can easily miss once-only alarms.
The GL518SM only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.

* update_vbat: int
0 if vbat should report power on value, 1 if vbat should be updated after
each read. Default is 0. On some boards the battery voltage is provided
by either the battery or the onboard power supply. Only the first reading
at power on will be the actual battery voltage (which the chip does
automatically). On other boards the battery voltage is always fed to
the chip so can be read at any time. Excessive reading may decrease
battery life but no information is given in the datasheet.

Force PWM polarity to active high (DANGEROUS). Some chips are
misconfigured by BIOS - PWM values would be inverted. This option tries
to fix this. Please contact your BIOS manufacturer and ask him for fix.
Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the IT8705F, IT8712F and SiS950 chips.
This driver also supports IT8712F, which adds SMBus access, and a VID
input, used to report the Vcore voltage of the Pentium processor.
The IT8712F additionally features VID inputs.
These chips are 'Super I/O chips', supporting floppy disks, infrared ports,
joysticks and other miscellaneous stuff. For hardware monitoring, they
include an 'environment controller' with 3 temperature sensors, 3 fan
rotation speed sensors, 8 voltage sensors, and associated alarms.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once
when the Overtemperature Shutdown limit is crossed.
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 or 8) to give the
readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
representable value is around 2600 RPM.
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts. An
alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or
maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. All voltage
inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution of
0.016 volt. The battery voltage in8 does not have limit registers.
The VID lines (IT8712F only) encode the core voltage value: the voltage
level your processor should work with. This is hardcoded by the mainboard
and/or processor itself. It is a value in volts.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware
registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 1.5
seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss
once-only alarms.
The IT87xx only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
To change sensor N to a thermistor, 'echo 2 > tempN_type' where N is 1, 2,
or 3. To change sensor N to a thermal diode, 'echo 3 > tempN_type'.
Give 0 for unused sensor. Any other value is invalid. To configure this at
startup, consult lm_sensors's /etc/sensors.conf. (2 = thermistor;
3 = thermal diode)
The fan speed control features are limited to manual PWM mode. Automatic
"Smart Guardian" mode control handling is not implemented. However
if you want to go for "manual mode" just write 1 to pwmN_enable.

Author: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
Thanks go to Tyan and especially Alex Buckingham for setting up a remote
access to their S4882 test platform for this driver.
http://www.tyan.com/
Description
-----------
The LM63 is a digital temperature sensor with integrated fan monitoring
and control.
The LM63 is basically an LM86 with fan speed monitoring and control
capabilities added. It misses some of the LM86 features though:
- No low limit for local temperature.
- No critical limit for local temperature.
- Critical limit for remote temperature can be changed only once. We
will consider that the critical limit is read-only.
The datasheet isn't very clear about what the tachometer reading is.
An explanation from National Semiconductor: The two lower bits of the read
value have to be masked out. The value is still 16 bit in width.
All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution is 1.0
degree for the local temperature, 0.125 degree for the remote temperature.
The fan speed is measured using a tachometer. Contrary to most chips which
store the value in an 8-bit register and have a selectable clock divider
to make sure that the result will fit in the register, the LM63 uses 16-bit
value for measuring the speed of the fan. It can measure fan speeds down to
83 RPM, at least in theory.
Note that the pin used for fan monitoring is shared with an alert out
function. Depending on how the board designer wanted to use the chip, fan
speed monitoring will or will not be possible. The proper chip configuration
is left to the BIOS, and the driver will blindly trust it.
A PWM output can be used to control the speed of the fan. The LM63 has two
PWM modes: manual and automatic. Automatic mode is not fully implemented yet
(you cannot define your custom PWM/temperature curve), and mode change isn't
supported either.
The lm63 driver will not update its values more frequently than every
second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return 'old'
values.

Description
-----------
The LM75 implements one temperature sensor. Limits can be set through the
Overtemperature Shutdown register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be
set and read to half-degree accuracy.
An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the temperature
gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on until
the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value.
All temperatures are in degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a
range of -55 to +125 degrees.
The LM75 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
The LM75 is usually used in combination with LM78-like chips, to measure
the temperature of the processor(s).
The DS75, DS1775, MAX6625, and MAX6626 are supported as well.
They are not distinguished from an LM75. While most of these chips
have three additional bits of accuracy (12 vs. 9 for the LM75),
the additional bits are not supported. Not only that, but these chips will
not be detected if not in 9-bit precision mode (use the force parameter if
needed).
The TCN75 is supported as well, and is not distinguished from an LM75.
The LM75 is essentially an industry standard; there may be other
LM75 clones not listed here, with or without various enhancements,
that are supported.
The LM77 is not supported, contrary to what we pretended for a long time.
Both chips are simply not compatible, value encoding differs.

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM78, LM78-J
and LM79. They are described as 'Microprocessor System Hardware Monitors'.
There is almost no difference between the three supported chips. Functionally,
the LM78 and LM78-J are exactly identical. The LM79 has one more VID line,
which is used to report the lower voltages newer Pentium processors use.
From here on, LM7* means either of these three types.
The LM7* implements one temperature sensor, three fan rotation speed sensors,
seven voltage sensors, VID lines, alarms, and some miscellaneous stuff.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once
when the Overtemperature Shutdown limit is crossed; it is triggered again
as soon as it drops below the Hysteresis value. A more useful behavior
can be found by setting the Hysteresis value to +127 degrees Celsius; in
this case, alarms are issued during all the time when the actual temperature
is above the Overtemperature Shutdown value. Measurements are guaranteed
between -55 and +125 degrees, with a resolution of 1 degree.
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 or 8) to give
the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
representable value is around 2600 RPM.
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts.
An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
or maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. All voltage
inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution
of 0.016 volt.
The VID lines encode the core voltage value: the voltage level your processor
should work with. This is hardcoded by the mainboard and/or processor itself.
It is a value in volts. When it is unconnected, you will often find the
value 3.50 V here.
In addition to the alarms described above, there are a couple of additional
ones. There is a BTI alarm, which gets triggered when an external chip has
crossed its limits. Usually, this is connected to all LM75 chips; if at
least one crosses its limits, this bit gets set. The CHAS alarm triggers
if your computer case is open. The FIFO alarms should never trigger; it
indicates an internal error. The SMI_IN alarm indicates some other chip
has triggered an SMI interrupt. As we do not use SMI interrupts at all,
this condition usually indicates there is a problem with some other
device.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all
hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less
than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily
miss once-only alarms.
The LM7* only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.

The LM80 implements one temperature sensor, two fan rotation speed sensors,
seven voltage sensors, alarms, and some miscellaneous stuff.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. There are two sets of limits
which operate independently. When the HOT Temperature Limit is crossed,
this will cause an alarm that will be reasserted until the temperature
drops below the HOT Hysteresis. The Overtemperature Shutdown (OS) limits
should work in the same way (but this must be checked; the datasheet
is unclear about this). Measurements are guaranteed between -55 and
+125 degrees. The current temperature measurement has a resolution of
0.0625 degrees; the limits have a resolution of 1 degree.
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 or 8) to give

Datasheet: Publicly available at the National Semiconductor website
http://www.national.com/pf/LM/LM83.html
Author: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
Description
-----------
The LM83 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as
well as the temperature of up to three external diodes. It is compatible
with many other devices such as the LM84 and all other ADM1021 clones.
The main difference between the LM83 and the LM84 in that the later can
only sense the temperature of one external diode.
Using the adm1021 driver for a LM83 should work, but only two temperatures
will be reported instead of four.
The LM83 is only found on a handful of motherboards. Both a confirmed
list and an unconfirmed list follow. If you can confirm or infirm the
fact that any of these motherboards do actually have an LM83, please
contact us. Note that the LM90 can easily be misdetected as a LM83.
Confirmed motherboards:
SBS P014
Unconfirmed motherboards:
Gigabyte GA-8IK1100
Iwill MPX2
Soltek SL-75DRV5
The driver has been successfully tested by Magnus Forsström, who I'd
like to thank here. More testers will be of course welcome.
The fact that the LM83 is only scarcely used can be easily explained.
Most motherboards come with more than just temperature sensors for
health monitoring. They also have voltage and fan rotation speed
sensors. This means that temperature-only chips are usually used as
secondary chips coupled with another chip such as an IT8705F or similar
chip, which provides more features. Since systems usually need three
temperature sensors (motherboard, processor, power supply) and primary
chips provide some temperature sensors, the secondary chip, if needed,
won't have to handle more than two temperatures. Thus, ADM1021 clones
are sufficient, and there is no need for a four temperatures sensor
chip such as the LM83. The only case where using an LM83 would make
sense is on SMP systems, such as the above-mentioned Iwill MPX2,
because you want an additional temperature sensor for each additional
CPU.
On the SBS P014, this is different, since the LM83 is the only hardware
monitoring chipset. One temperature sensor is used for the motherboard
(actually measuring the LM83's own temperature), one is used for the
CPU. The two other sensors must be used to measure the temperature of
two other points of the motherboard. We suspect these points to be the
north and south bridges, but this couldn't be confirmed.
All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Local temperature
is given within a range of 0 to +85 degrees. Remote temperatures are
given within a range of 0 to +125 degrees. Resolution is 1.0 degree,
accuracy is guaranteed to 3.0 degrees (see the datasheet for more
details).
Each sensor has its own high limit, but the critical limit is common to
all four sensors. There is no hysteresis mechanism as found on most
recent temperature sensors.
The lm83 driver will not update its values more frequently than every
other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return
'old' values.

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM85 and
compatible chips including the Analog Devices ADM1027, ADT7463 and
SMSC EMC6D10x chips family.
The LM85 uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBUS 2.0
specification. Using an analog to digital converter it measures three (3)
temperatures and five (5) voltages. It has four (4) 16-bit counters for
measuring fan speed. Five (5) digital inputs are provided for sampling the
VID signals from the processor to the VRM. Lastly, there are three (3) PWM
outputs that can be used to control fan speed.
The voltage inputs have internal scaling resistors so that the following
voltage can be measured without external resistors:
2.5V, 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and CPU core voltage (2.25V)
The temperatures measured are one internal diode, and two remote diodes.
Remote 1 is generally the CPU temperature. These inputs are designed to
measure a thermal diode like the one in a Pentium 4 processor in a socket
423 or socket 478 package. They can also measure temperature using a
transistor like the 2N3904.
A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the
LM85 that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the
three temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and
programmable. Once configured, the LM85 will adjust the PWM outputs in
response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention.
This feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's.
Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has
corresponding high/low limit values. The LM85 will signal an ALARM if any
measured value exceeds either limit.
The LM85 samples all inputs continuously. The lm85 driver will not read
the registers more often than once a second. Further, configuration data is
only read once each 5 minutes. There is twice as much config data as
measurements, so this would seem to be a worthwhile optimization.
Special Features
----------------
The LM85 has four fan speed monitoring modes. The ADM1027 has only two.
Both have special circuitry to compensate for PWM interactions with the
TACH signal from the fans. The ADM1027 can be configured to measure the
speed of a two wire fan, but the input conditioning circuitry is different
for 3-wire and 2-wire mode. For this reason, the 2-wire fan modes are not
exposed to user control. The BIOS should initialize them to the correct
mode. If you've designed your own ADM1027, you'll have to modify the
init_client function and add an insmod parameter to set this up.
To smooth the response of fans to changes in temperature, the LM85 has an
optional filter for smoothing temperatures. The ADM1027 has the same
config option but uses it to rate limit the changes to fan speed instead.
The ADM1027 and ADT7463 have a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure
temperatures with 0.25 degC resolution. They also provide an offset to the
temperature readings that is automatically applied during measurement.
This offset can be used to zero out any errors due to traces and placement.
The documentation says that the offset is in 0.25 degC steps, but in
initial testing of the ADM1027 it was 1.00 degC steps. Analog Devices has
confirmed this "bug". The ADT7463 is reported to work as described in the
documentation. The current lm85 driver does not show the offset register.
The ADT7463 has a THERM asserted counter. This counter has a 22.76ms
resolution and a range of 5.8 seconds. The driver implements a 32-bit
accumulator of the counter value to extend the range to over a year. The
counter will stay at it's max value until read.
See the vendor datasheets for more information. There is application note
from National (AN-1260) with some additional information about the LM85.
The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for
determining an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
The SMSC EMC6D100 & EMC6D101 monitor external voltages, temperatures, and
fan speeds. They use this monitoring capability to alert the system to out
of limit conditions and can automatically control the speeds of multiple
fans in a PC or embedded system. The EMC6D101, available in a 24-pin SSOP
package, and the EMC6D100, available in a 28-pin SSOP package, are designed
to be register compatible. The EMC6D100 offers all the features of the
EMC6D101 plus additional voltage monitoring and system control features.
Unfortunately it is not possible to distinguish between the package
versions on register level so these additional voltage inputs may read
zero. The EMC6D102 features addtional ADC bits thus extending precision
of voltage and temperature channels.
Hardware Configurations
-----------------------
The LM85 can be jumpered for 3 different SMBus addresses. There are
no other hardware configuration options for the LM85.
The lm85 driver detects both LM85B and LM85C revisions of the chip. See the
datasheet for a complete description of the differences. Other than
identifying the chip, the driver behaves no differently with regard to
these two chips. The LM85B is recommended for new designs.
The ADM1027 and ADT7463 chips have an optional SMBALERT output that can be
used to signal the chipset in case a limit is exceeded or the temperature
sensors fail. Individual sensor interrupts can be masked so they won't
trigger SMBALERT. The SMBALERT output if configured replaces one of the other
functions (PWM2 or IN0). This functionality is not implemented in current
driver.
The ADT7463 also has an optional THERM output/input which can be connected
to the processor PROC_HOT output. If available, the autofan control
dynamic Tmin feature can be enabled to keep the system temperature within
spec (just?!) with the least possible fan noise.
Configuration Notes
-------------------
Besides standard interfaces driver adds following:
* Temperatures and Zones
Each temperature sensor is associated with a Zone. There are three
sensors and therefore three zones (# 1, 2 and 3). Each zone has the following
temperature configuration points:
* temp#_auto_temp_off - temperature below which fans should be off or spinning very low.
* temp#_auto_temp_min - temperature over which fans start to spin.
* temp#_auto_temp_max - temperature when fans spin at full speed.
* temp#_auto_temp_crit - temperature when all fans will run full speed.
* PWM Control
There are three PWM outputs. The LM85 datasheet suggests that the
pwm3 output control both fan3 and fan4. Each PWM can be individually
configured and assigned to a zone for it's control value. Each PWM can be
configured individually according to the following options.
* pwm#_auto_pwm_min - this specifies the PWM value for temp#_auto_temp_off
temperature. (PWM value from 0 to 255)
* pwm#_auto_pwm_freq - select base frequency of PWM output. You can select
in range of 10.0 to 94.0 Hz in .1 Hz units.
(Values 100 to 940).
The pwm#_auto_pwm_freq can be set to one of the following 8 values. Setting the
frequency to a value not on this list, will result in the next higher frequency
being selected. The actual device frequency may vary slightly from this
specification as designed by the manufacturer. Consult the datasheet for more
details. (PWM Frequency values: 100, 150, 230, 300, 380, 470, 620, 940)
* pwm#_auto_pwm_minctl - this flags selects for temp#_auto_temp_off temperature
the bahaviour of fans. Write 1 to let fans spinning at
pwm#_auto_pwm_min or write 0 to let them off.
NOTE: It has been reported that there is a bug in the LM85 that causes the flag
to be associated with the zones not the PWMs. This contradicts all the
published documentation. Setting pwm#_min_ctl in this case actually affects all
PWMs controlled by zone '#'.
* PWM Controlling Zone selection
* pwm#_auto_channels - controls zone that is associated with PWM
Configuration choices:
Value Meaning
------ ------------------------------------------------
1 Controlled by Zone 1
2 Controlled by Zone 2
3 Controlled by Zone 3
23 Controlled by higher temp of Zone 2 or 3
123 Controlled by highest temp of Zone 1, 2 or 3
0 PWM always 0% (off)
-1 PWM always 100% (full on)
-2 Manual control (write to 'pwm#' to set)
The National LM85's have two vendor specific configuration
features. Tach. mode and Spinup Control. For more details on these,
see the LM85 datasheet or Application Note AN-1260.
The Analog Devices ADM1027 has several vendor specific enhancements.
The number of pulses-per-rev of the fans can be set, Tach monitoring
can be optimized for PWM operation, and an offset can be applied to
the temperatures to compensate for systemic errors in the
measurements.
In addition to the ADM1027 features, the ADT7463 also has Tmin control
and THERM asserted counts. Automatic Tmin control acts to adjust the
Tmin value to maintain the measured temperature sensor at a specified
temperature. There isn't much documentation on this feature in the
ADT7463 data sheet. This is not supported by current driver.

Kernel driver lm87
==================

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM87.
The LM87 implements up to three temperature sensors, up to two fan
rotation speed sensors, up to seven voltage sensors, alarms, and some
miscellaneous stuff.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. Each input has a high
and low alarm settings. A high limit produces an alarm when the value
goes above it, and an alarm is also produced when the value goes below
the low 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 or 8) to give
the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
representable value is around 2600 RPM.
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in
volts. An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable
minimum or maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means
'closest to zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all
hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less
than 1.0 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily
miss once-only alarms.
The lm87 driver only updates its values each 1.0 seconds; reading it more
often will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
Hardware Configurations
-----------------------
The LM87 has four pins which can serve one of two possible functions,
depending on the hardware configuration.
Some functions share pins, so not all functions are available at the same
time. Which are depends on the hardware setup. This driver assumes that
the BIOS configured the chip correctly. In that respect, it differs from
the original driver (from lm_sensors for Linux 2.4), which would force the
LM87 to an arbitrary, compile-time chosen mode, regardless of the actual
chipset wiring.
For reference, here is the list of exclusive functions:
- in0+in5 (default) or temp3
- fan1 (default) or in6
- fan2 (default) or in7
- VID lines (default) or IRQ lines (not handled by this driver)

Description
-----------
The LM90 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as
well as the temperature of up to one external diode. It is compatible
with many other devices such as the LM86, the LM89, the LM99, the ADM1032,
the MAX6657, MAX6658 and the MAX6659 all of which are supported by this driver.
Note that there is no easy way to differentiate between the last three
variants. The extra address and features of the MAX6659 are not supported by
this driver. Additionally, the ADT7461 is supported if found in ADM1032
compatibility mode.
The specificity of this family of chipsets over the ADM1021/LM84
family is that it features critical limits with hysteresis, and an
increased resolution of the remote temperature measurement.
The different chipsets of the family are not strictly identical, although
very similar. This driver doesn't handle any specific feature for now,
but could if there ever was a need for it. For reference, here comes a
non-exhaustive list of specific features:
LM90:
* Filter and alert configuration register at 0xBF.
* ALERT is triggered by temperatures over critical limits.
LM86 and LM89:
* Same as LM90
* Better external channel accuracy
LM99:
* Same as LM89
* External temperature shifted by 16 degrees down
ADM1032:
* Consecutive alert register at 0x22.
* Conversion averaging.
* Up to 64 conversions/s.
* ALERT is triggered by open remote sensor.
ADT7461
* Extended temperature range (breaks compatibility)
* Lower resolution for remote temperature
MAX6657 and MAX6658:
* Remote sensor type selection
MAX6659
* Selectable address
* Second critical temperature limit
* Remote sensor type selection
All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution
is 1.0 degree for the local temperature, 0.125 degree for the remote
temperature.
Each sensor has its own high and low limits, plus a critical limit.
Additionally, there is a relative hysteresis value common to both critical
values. To make life easier to user-space applications, two absolute values
are exported, one for each channel, but these values are of course linked.
Only the local hysteresis can be set from user-space, and the same delta
applies to the remote hysteresis.
The lm90 driver will not update its values more frequently than every
other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return
'old' values.

Description
-----------
The MAXIM max6875 is a EEPROM-programmable power-supply sequencer/supervisor.
It provides timed outputs that can be used as a watchdog, if properly wired.
It also provides 512 bytes of user EEPROM.

Module Parameters
-----------------
* init int
Chip initialization level:
0: None
*1: Forcibly enable internal voltage and temperature channels, except in9
2: Forcibly enable all voltage and temperature channels, except in9
3: Forcibly enable all voltage and temperature channels, including in9
Note that this parameter has no effect for the PC87360, PC87363 and PC87364
chips.
Also note that for the PC87366, initialization levels 2 and 3 don't enable
all temperature channels, because some of them share pins with each other,
so they can't be used at the same time.
Description
-----------
The National Semiconductor PC87360 Super I/O chip contains monitoring and
PWM control circuitry for two fans. The PC87363 chip is similar, and the
PC87364 chip has monitoring and PWM control for a third fan.
The National Semiconductor PC87365 and PC87366 Super I/O chips are complete
hardware monitoring chipsets, not only controlling and monitoring three fans,
but also monitoring eleven voltage inputs and two (PC87365) or up to four
(PC87366) temperatures.
Chip #vin #fan #pwm #temp devid
PC87360 - 2 2 - 0xE1
PC87363 - 2 2 - 0xE8
PC87364 - 3 3 - 0xE4
PC87365 11 3 3 2 0xE5
PC87366 11 3 3 3-4 0xE9
The driver assumes that no more than one chip is present, and one of the
standard Super I/O addresses is used (0x2E/0x2F or 0x4E/0x4F)
Fan Monitoring
--------------
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (revolutions per minute). An alarm
is triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit.
A different alarm is triggered if the fan speed is too low to be measured.
Fan readings are affected by a programmable clock divider, giving the
readings more range or accuracy. Usually, users have to learn how it works,
but this driver implements dynamic clock divider selection, so you don't
have to care no more.
For reference, here are a few values about clock dividers:
slowest accuracy highest
measurable around 3000 accurate
divider speed (RPM) RPM (RPM) speed (RPM)
1 1882 18 6928
2 941 37 4898
4 470 74 3464
8 235 150 2449
For the curious, here is how the values above were computed:
* slowest measurable speed: clock/(255*divider)
* accuracy around 3000 RPM: 3000^2/clock
* highest accurate speed: sqrt(clock*100)
The clock speed for the PC87360 family is 480 kHz. I arbitrarily chose 100
RPM as the lowest acceptable accuracy.
As mentioned above, you don't have to care about this no more.
Note that not all RPM values can be represented, even when the best clock
divider is selected. This is not only true for the measured speeds, but
also for the programmable low limits, so don't be surprised if you try to
set, say, fan1_min to 2900 and it finally reads 2909.
Fan Control
-----------
PWM (pulse width modulation) values range from 0 to 255, with 0 meaning
that the fan is stopped, and 255 meaning that the fan goes at full speed.
Be extremely careful when changing PWM values. Low PWM values, even
non-zero, can stop the fan, which may cause irreversible damage to your
hardware if temperature increases too much. When changing PWM values, go
step by step and keep an eye on temperatures.
One user reported problems with PWM. Changing PWM values would break fan
speed readings. No explanation nor fix could be found.
Temperature Monitoring
----------------------
Temperatures are reported in degrees Celsius. Each temperature measured has
associated low, high and overtemperature limits, each of which triggers an
alarm when crossed.
The first two temperature channels are external. The third one (PC87366
only) is internal.
The PC87366 has three additional temperature channels, based on
thermistors (as opposed to thermal diodes for the first three temperature
channels). For technical reasons, these channels are held by the VLM
(voltage level monitor) logical device, not the TMS (temperature
measurement) one. As a consequence, these temperatures are exported as
voltages, and converted into temperatures in user-space.
Note that these three additional channels share their pins with the
external thermal diode channels, so you (physically) can't use them all at
the same time. Although it should be possible to mix the two sensor types,
the documents from National Semiconductor suggest that motherboard
manufacturers should choose one type and stick to it. So you will more
likely have either channels 1 to 3 (thermal diodes) or 3 to 6 (internal
thermal diode, and thermistors).
Voltage Monitoring
------------------
Voltages are reported relatively to a reference voltage, either internal or
external. Some of them (in7:Vsb, in8:Vdd and in10:AVdd) are divided by two
internally, you will have to compensate in sensors.conf. Others (in0 to in6)
are likely to be divided externally. The meaning of each of these inputs as
well as the values of the resistors used for division is left to the
motherboard manufacturers, so you will have to document yourself and edit
sensors.conf accordingly. National Semiconductor has a document with
recommended resistor values for some voltages, but this still leaves much
room for per motherboard specificities, unfortunately. Even worse,
motherboard manufacturers don't seem to care about National Semiconductor's
recommendations.
Each voltage measured has associated low and high limits, each of which
triggers an alarm when crossed.
When available, VID inputs are used to provide the nominal CPU Core voltage.
The driver will default to VRM 9.0, but this can be changed from user-space.
The chipsets can handle two sets of VID inputs (on dual-CPU systems), but
the driver will only export one for now. This may change later if there is
a need.
General Remarks
---------------
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
have disappeared! Note that all hardware registers are read whenever any
data is read (unless it is less than 2 seconds since the last update, in
which case cached values are returned instead). As a consequence, when
a once-only alarm triggers, it may take 2 seconds for it to show, and 2
more seconds for it to disappear.
Monitoring of in9 isn't enabled at lower init levels (<3) because that
channel measures the battery voltage (Vbat). It is a known fact that
repeatedly sampling the battery voltage reduces its lifetime. National
Semiconductor smartly designed their chipset so that in9 is sampled only
once every 1024 sampling cycles (that is every 34 minutes at the default
sampling rate), so the effect is attenuated, but still present.
Limitations
-----------
The datasheets suggests that some values (fan mins, fan dividers)
shouldn't be changed once the monitoring has started, but we ignore that
recommendation. We'll reconsider if it actually causes trouble.

can be independently used as an input or output. To setup an I/O as an
input, you have to write a 1 to the corresponding output.
For more informations see the datasheet.
Accessing PCF8574(A) via /sys interface
-------------------------------------
! Be careful !
The PCF8574(A) is plainly impossible to detect ! Stupid chip.
So every chip with address in the interval [20..27] and [38..3f] are
detected as PCF8574(A). If you have other chips in this address
range, the workaround is to load this module after the one
for your others chips.
On detection (i.e. insmod, modprobe et al.), directories are being
created for each detected PCF8574(A):
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/<0>-<1>/
where <0> is the bus the chip was detected on (e. g. i2c-0)
and <1> the chip address ([20..27] or [38..3f]):
(example: /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-0020/)
Inside these directories, there are two files each:
read and write (and one file with chip name).
The read file is read-only. Reading gives you the current I/O input
if the corresponding output is set as 1, otherwise the current output
value, that is to say 0.
The write file is read/write. Writing a value outputs it on the I/O
port. Reading returns the last written value.
On module initialization the chip is configured as eight inputs (all
outputs to 1), so you can connect any circuit to the PCF8574(A) without
being afraid of short-circuit.

Description
-----------
The PCF8591 is an 8-bit A/D and D/A converter (4 analog inputs and one
analog output) for the I2C bus produced by Philips Semiconductors. It
is designed to provide a byte I2C interface to up to 4 separate devices.
The PCF8591 has 4 analog inputs programmable as single-ended or
differential inputs :
- mode 0 : four single ended inputs
Pins AIN0 to AIN3 are single ended inputs for channels 0 to 3
- mode 1 : three differential inputs
Pins AIN3 is the common negative differential input
Pins AIN0 to AIN2 are positive differential inputs for channels 0 to 2
- mode 2 : single ended and differential mixed
Pins AIN0 and AIN1 are single ended inputs for channels 0 and 1
Pins AIN2 is the positive differential input for channel 3
Pins AIN3 is the negative differential input for channel 3
- mode 3 : two differential inputs
Pins AIN0 is the positive differential input for channel 0
Pins AIN1 is the negative differential input for channel 0
Pins AIN2 is the positive differential input for channel 1
Pins AIN3 is the negative differential input for channel 1
See the datasheet for details.

Inside these directories, there are such files:
in0, in1, in2, in3, out0_enable, out0_output, name
Name contains chip name.
The in0, in1, in2 and in3 files are RO. Reading gives the value of the
corresponding channel. Depending on the current analog inputs configuration,
files in2 and/or in3 do not exist. Values range are from 0 to 255 for single
ended inputs and -128 to +127 for differential inputs (8-bit ADC).
The out0_enable file is RW. Reading gives "1" for analog output enabled and
"0" for analog output disabled. Writing accepts "0" and "1" accordingly.
The out0_output file is RW. Writing a number between 0 and 255 (8-bit DAC), send
the value to the digital-to-analog converter. Note that a voltage will
only appears on AOUT pin if aout0_enable equals 1. Reading returns the last
value written.

Description
-----------
The SiS5595 southbridge has integrated hardware monitor functions. It also
has an I2C bus, but this driver only supports the hardware monitor. For the
I2C bus driver see i2c-sis5595.
The SiS5595 implements zero or one temperature sensor, two fan speed
sensors, four or five voltage sensors, and alarms.
On the first version of the chip, there are four voltage sensors and one
temperature sensor.
On the second version of the chip, the temperature sensor (temp) and the
fifth voltage sensor (in4) share a pin which is configurable, but not
through the driver. Sorry. The driver senses the configuration of the pin,
which was hopefully set by the BIOS.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once
when the max is crossed; it is also triggered when it drops below the min
value. Measurements are guaranteed between -55 and +125 degrees, with a
resolution of 1 degree.
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 or 8) to give
the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
representable value is around 2600 RPM.
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts. An
alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or
maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. All voltage
inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution of
0.016 volt.
In addition to the alarms described above, there is a BTI alarm, which gets
triggered when an external chip has crossed its limits. Usually, this is
connected to some LM75-like chip; if at least one crosses its limits, this
bit gets set.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware
registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 1.5
seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss
once-only alarms.
The SiS5595 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
Problems
--------
Some chips refuse to be enabled. We don't know why.
The driver will recognize this and print a message in dmesg.

The Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) 47M1xx Super I/O chips
contain monitoring and PWM control circuitry for two fans.
The 47M15x and 47M192 chips contain a full 'hardware monitoring block'
in addition to the fan monitoring and control. The hardware monitoring
block is not supported by the driver.
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 or 8) to give
the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
representable value is around 2600 RPM.
PWM values are from 0 to 255.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all
hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less
than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily
miss once-only alarms.

It also has an I2C bus, but this driver only supports the hardware monitor.

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for ISA accesses *only* for
the Winbond W83627HF, W83627THF, W83697HF and W83637HF Super I/O chips.
We will refer to them collectively as Winbond chips.
This driver supports ISA accesses, which should be more reliable
than i2c accesses. Also, for Tyan boards which contain both a
Super I/O chip and a second i2c-only Winbond chip (often a W83782D),
using this driver will avoid i2c address conflicts and complex
initialization that were required in the w83781d driver.
If you really want i2c accesses for these Super I/O chips,
use the w83781d driver. However this is not the preferred method
now that this ISA driver has been developed.
Technically, the w83627thf does not support a VID reading. However, it's
possible or even likely that your mainboard maker has routed these signals
to a specific set of general purpose IO pins (the Asus P4C800-E is one such
board). The w83627thf driver now interprets these as VID. If the VID on
your board doesn't work, first see doc/vid in the lm_sensors package. If
that still doesn't help, email us at lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org.
For further information on this driver see the w83781d driver
documentation.

This driver implements support for the Winbond W83781D, W83782D, W83783S,
W83627HF chips, and the Asus AS99127F chips. We will refer to them
collectively as W8378* chips.
There is quite some difference between these chips, but they are similar
enough that it was sensible to put them together in one driver.
The W83627HF chip is assumed to be identical to the ISA W83782D.
The Asus chips are similar to an I2C-only W83782D.

w83783s 5-6 3 2 1-2 0x40 0x5ca3 yes no
Detection of these chips can sometimes be foiled because they can be in
an internal state that allows no clean access. If you know the address
of the chip, use a 'force' parameter; this will put them into a more
well-behaved state first.
The W8378* implements temperature sensors (three on the W83781D and W83782D,
two on the W83783S), three fan rotation speed sensors, voltage sensors
(seven on the W83781D, nine on the W83782D and six on the W83783S), VID
lines, alarms with beep warnings, and some miscellaneous stuff.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. There is always one main
temperature sensor, and one (W83783S) or two (W83781D and W83782D) other
sensors. An alarm is triggered for the main sensor once when the
Overtemperature Shutdown limit is crossed; it is triggered again as soon as
it drops below the Hysteresis value. A more useful behavior
can be found by setting the Hysteresis value to +127 degrees Celsius; in
this case, alarms are issued during all the time when the actual temperature
is above the Overtemperature Shutdown value. The driver sets the
hysteresis value for temp1 to 127 at initialization.
For the other temperature sensor(s), an alarm is triggered when the
temperature gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays
on until the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value. But on the
W83781D, there is only one alarm that functions for both other sensors!
Temperatures are guaranteed within a range of -55 to +125 degrees. The
main temperature sensors has a resolution of 1 degree; the other sensor(s)
of 0.5 degree.
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 or 8 for the
W83781D; 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 for the others) to give
the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately
be represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
representable value is around 2600 RPM.
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts.
An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
or maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. All voltage
inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution
of 0.016 volt.
The VID lines encode the core voltage value: the voltage level your processor
should work with. This is hardcoded by the mainboard and/or processor itself.
It is a value in volts. When it is unconnected, you will often find the
value 3.50 V here.
The W83782D and W83783S temperature conversion machine understands about
several kinds of temperature probes. You can program the so-called
beta value in the sensor files. '1' is the PII/Celeron diode, '2' is the
TN3904 transistor, and 3435 the default thermistor value. Other values
are (not yet) supported.
In addition to the alarms described above, there is a CHAS alarm on the
chips which triggers if your computer case is open.
When an alarm goes off, you can be warned by a beeping signal through
your computer speaker. It is possible to enable all beeping globally,
or only the beeping for some alarms.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all
hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less
than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily
miss once-only alarms.
The chips only update values each 1.5 seconds; reading them more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
AS99127F PROBLEMS
-----------------
The as99127f support was developed without the benefit of a datasheet.
In most cases it is treated as a w83781d (although revision 2 of the
AS99127F looks more like a w83782d).
This support will be BETA until a datasheet is released.
One user has reported problems with fans stopping
occasionally.
Note that the individual beep bits are inverted from the other chips.
The driver now takes care of this so that user-space applications
don't have to know about it.
Known problems:
- Problems with diode/thermistor settings (supported?)
- One user reports fans stopping under high server load.
- Revision 2 seems to have 2 PWM registers but we don't know
how to handle them. More details below.
These will not be fixed unless we get a datasheet.
If you have problems, please lobby Asus to release a datasheet.
Unfortunately several others have without success.
Please do not send mail to us asking for better as99127f support.
We have done the best we can without a datasheet.
Please do not send mail to the author or the sensors group asking for
a datasheet or ideas on how to convince Asus. We can't help.
NOTES:
-----
783s has no in1 so that in[2-6] are compatible with the 781d/782d.
783s pin is programmable for -5V or temp1; defaults to -5V,
no control in driver so temp1 doesn't work.
782d and 783s datasheets differ on which is pwm1 and which is pwm2.
We chose to follow 782d.
782d and 783s pin is programmable for fan3 input or pwm2 output;
defaults to fan3 input.
If pwm2 is enabled (with echo 255 1 > pwm2), then
fan3 will report 0.
782d has pwm1-2 for ISA, pwm1-4 for i2c. (pwm3-4 share pins with
the ISA pins)

We are sorry that the calculation for R-T table value is
confidential. If you have another Beta value of thermistor, we can help
to calculate the R-T table for you. But you should give us real R-T
Table which can be gotten by thermistor vendor. Therefore we will calculate
them and obtain 32-byte data, and you can fill the 32-byte data to the
register in Bank0.CR51 of W83781D.

Asus Clones
-----------
We have no datasheets for the Asus clones (AS99127F and ASB100 Bach).
Here are some very useful information that were given to us by Alex Van
Kaam about how to detect these chips, and how to read their values. He
also gives advice for another Asus chipset, the Mozart-2 (which we
don't support yet). Thanks Alex!
I reworded some parts and added personal comments.
# Detection:
AS99127F rev.1, AS99127F rev.2 and ASB100:
- I2C address range: 0x29 - 0x2F
- If register 0x58 holds 0x31 then we have an Asus (either ASB100 or
AS99127F)
- Which one depends on register 0x4F (manufacturer ID):
0x06 or 0x94: ASB100
0x12 or 0xC3: AS99127F rev.1
0x5C or 0xA3: AS99127F rev.2
Note that 0x5CA3 is Winbond's ID (WEC), which let us think Asus get their
AS99127F rev.2 direct from Winbond. The other codes mean ATT and DVC,
respectively. ATT could stand for Asustek something (although it would be
very badly chosen IMHO), I don't know what DVC could stand for. Maybe
these codes simply aren't meant to be decoded that way.
Mozart-2:
- I2C address: 0x77
- If register 0x58 holds 0x56 or 0x10 then we have a Mozart-2
- Of the Mozart there are 3 types:
0x58=0x56, 0x4E=0x94, 0x4F=0x36: Asus ASM58 Mozart-2
0x58=0x56, 0x4E=0x94, 0x4F=0x06: Asus AS2K129R Mozart-2
0x58=0x10, 0x4E=0x5C, 0x4F=0xA3: Asus ??? Mozart-2
You can handle all 3 the exact same way :)
# Temperature sensors:
ASB100:
- sensor 1: register 0x27
- sensor 2 & 3 are the 2 LM75's on the SMBus
- sensor 4: register 0x17
Remark: I noticed that on Intel boards sensor 2 is used for the CPU
and 4 is ignored/stuck, on AMD boards sensor 4 is the CPU and sensor 2 is
either ignored or a socket temperature.
AS99127F (rev.1 and 2 alike):
- sensor 1: register 0x27
- sensor 2 & 3 are the 2 LM75's on the SMBus
Remark: Register 0x5b is suspected to be temperature type selector. Bit 1
would control temp1, bit 3 temp2 and bit 5 temp3.
Mozart-2:
- sensor 1: register 0x27
- sensor 2: register 0x13
# Fan sensors:
ASB100, AS99127F (rev.1 and 2 alike):
- 3 fans, identical to the W83781D
Mozart-2:
- 2 fans only, 1350000/RPM/div
- fan 1: register 0x28, divisor on register 0xA1 (bits 4-5)
- fan 2: register 0x29, divisor on register 0xA1 (bits 6-7)
# Voltages:
This is where there is a difference between AS99127F rev.1 and 2.
Remark: The difference is similar to the difference between
W83781D and W83782D.
ASB100:

# PWM
Additional info about PWM on the AS99127F (may apply to other Asus
chips as well) by Jean Delvare as of 2004-04-09:
AS99127F revision 2 seems to have two PWM registers at 0x59 and 0x5A,
and a temperature sensor type selector at 0x5B (which basically means
that they swapped registers 0x59 and 0x5B when you compare with Winbond
chips).
Revision 1 of the chip also has the temperature sensor type selector at
0x5B, but PWM registers have no effect.
We don't know exactly how the temperature sensor type selection works.
Looks like bits 1-0 are for temp1, bits 3-2 for temp2 and bits 5-4 for
temp3, although it is possible that only the most significant bit matters
each time. So far, values other than 0 always broke the readings.
PWM registers seem to be split in two parts: bit 7 is a mode selector,
while the other bits seem to define a value or threshold.
When bit 7 is clear, bits 6-0 seem to hold a threshold value. If the value
is below a given limit, the fan runs at low speed. If the value is above
the limit, the fan runs at full speed. We have no clue as to what the limit
represents. Note that there seem to be some inertia in this mode, speed
changes may need some time to trigger. Also, an hysteresis mechanism is
suspected since walking through all the values increasingly and then
decreasingly led to slightly different limits.
When bit 7 is set, bits 3-0 seem to hold a threshold value, while bits 6-4
would not be significant. If the value is below a given limit, the fan runs
at full speed, while if it is above the limit it runs at low speed (so this
is the contrary of the other mode, in a way). Here again, we don't know
what the limit is supposed to represent.
One remarkable thing is that the fans would only have two or three
different speeds (transitional states left apart), not a whole range as
you usually get with PWM.
As a conclusion, you can write 0x00 or 0x8F to the PWM registers to make
fans run at low speed, and 0x7F or 0x80 to make them run at full speed.
Please contact us if you can figure out how it is supposed to work. As
long as we don't know more, the w83781d driver doesn't handle PWM on
AS99127F chips at all.
Additional info about PWM on the AS99127F rev.1 by Hector Martin:
I've been fiddling around with the (in)famous 0x59 register and
found out the following values do work as a form of coarse pwm:
0x80 - seems to turn fans off after some time(1-2 minutes)... might be
some form of auto-fan-control based on temp? hmm (Qfan? this mobo is an
old ASUS, it isn't marketed as Qfan. Maybe some beta pre-attemp at Qfan
that was dropped at the BIOS)
0x81 - off
0x82 - slightly "on-ner" than off, but my fans do not get to move. I can
hear the high-pitched PWM sound that motors give off at too-low-pwm.
0x83 - now they do move. Estimate about 70% speed or so.
0x84-0x8f - full on
Changing the high nibble doesn't seem to do much except the high bit
(0x80) must be set for PWM to work, else the current pwm doesn't seem to
change.
My mobo is an ASUS A7V266-E. This behavior is similar to what I got
with speedfan under Windows, where 0-15% would be off, 15-2x% (can't
remember the exact value) would be 70% and higher would be full on.

Kernel driver w83l785ts
=======================
Supported chips:
* Winbond W83L785TS-S
Prefix: 'w83l785ts'
Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2e
Datasheet: Publicly available at the Winbond USA website
http://www.winbond-usa.com/products/winbond_products/pdfs/PCIC/W83L785TS-S.pdf
Authors:
Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
Description
-----------
The W83L785TS-S is a digital temperature sensor. It senses the
temperature of a single external diode. The high limit is
theoretically defined as 85 or 100 degrees C through a combination
of external resistors, so the user cannot change it. Values seen so
far suggest that the two possible limits are actually 95 and 110
degrees C. The datasheet is rather poor and obviously inaccurate
on several points including this one.
All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution
is 1.0 degree. See the datasheet for details.
The w83l785ts driver will not update its values more frequently than
every other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will
return 'old' values.
Known Issues
------------
On some systems (Asus), the BIOS is known to interfere with the driver
and cause read errors. The driver will retry a given number of times
(5 by default) and then give up, returning the old value (or 0 if
there is no old value). It seems to work well enough so that you should
not notice anything. Thanks to James Bolt for helping test this feature.

Introduction
------------
Most mainboards have sensor chips to monitor system health (like temperatures,
voltages, fans speed). They are often connected through an I2C bus, but some
are also connected directly through the ISA bus.
The kernel drivers make the data from the sensor chips available in the /sys
virtual filesystem. Userspace tools are then used to display or set or the
data in a more friendly manner.
Lm-sensors
----------
Core set of utilites that will allow you to obtain health information,
setup monitoring limits etc. You can get them on their homepage
http://www.lm-sensors.nu/ or as a package from your Linux distribution.
If from website:
Get lmsensors from project web site. Please note, you need only userspace
part, so compile with "make user_install" target.
General hints to get things working:
0) get lm-sensors userspace utils
1) compile all drivers in I2C section as modules in your kernel
2) run sensors-detect script, it will tell you what modules you need to load.
3) load them and run "sensors" command, you should see some results.
4) fix sensors.conf, labels, limits, fan divisors
5) if any more problems consult FAQ, or documentation
Other utilites
--------------
If you want some graphical indicators of system health look for applications
like: gkrellm, ksensors, xsensors, wmtemp, wmsensors, wmgtemp, ksysguardd,
hardware-monitor
If you are server administrator you can try snmpd or mrtgutils.

Documentation for kdump - the kexec-based crash dumping solution
================================================================
DESIGN
======
Kdump uses kexec to reboot to a second kernel whenever a dump needs to be taken.
This second kernel is booted with very little memory. The first kernel reserves
the section of memory that the second kernel uses. This ensures that on-going
DMA from the first kernel does not corrupt the second kernel.
All the necessary information about Core image is encoded in ELF format and
stored in reserved area of memory before crash. Physical address of start of
ELF header is passed to new kernel through command line parameter elfcorehdr=.
On i386, the first 640 KB of physical memory is needed to boot, irrespective
of where the kernel loads. Hence, this region is backed up by kexec just before
rebooting into the new kernel.
In the second kernel, "old memory" can be accessed in two ways.
- The first one is through a /dev/oldmem device interface. A capture utility
can read the device file and write out the memory in raw format. This is raw
dump of memory and analysis/capture tool should be intelligent enough to
determine where to look for the right information. ELF headers (elfcorehdr=)
can become handy here.
- The second interface is through /proc/vmcore. This exports the dump as an ELF
format file which can be written out using any file copy command
(cp, scp, etc). Further, gdb can be used to perform limited debugging on
the dump file. This method ensures methods ensure that there is correct
ordering of the dump pages (corresponding to the first 640 KB that has been
relocated).
SETUP
=====
1) Download http://www.xmission.com/~ebiederm/files/kexec/kexec-tools-1.101.tar.gz
and apply http://lse.sourceforge.net/kdump/patches/kexec-tools-1.101-kdump.patch
and after that build the source.
2) Download and build the appropriate (latest) kexec/kdump (-mm) kernel
patchset and apply it to the vanilla kernel tree.
Two kernels need to be built in order to get this feature working.
A) First kernel:
a) Enable "kexec system call" feature (in Processor type and features).
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
b) This kernel's physical load address should be the default value of
0x100000 (0x100000, 1 MB) (in Processor type and features).
CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x100000
c) Enable "sysfs file system support" (in Pseudo filesystems).
CONFIG_SYSFS=y
d) Boot into first kernel with the command line parameter "crashkernel=Y@X".
Use appropriate values for X and Y. Y denotes how much memory to reserve
for the second kernel, and X denotes at what physical address the reserved
memory section starts. For example: "crashkernel=64M@16M".
B) Second kernel:
a) Enable "kernel crash dumps" feature (in Processor type and features).
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
b) Specify a suitable value for "Physical address where the kernel is
loaded" (in Processor type and features). Typically this value
should be same as X (See option d) above, e.g., 16 MB or 0x1000000.
CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x1000000
c) Enable "/proc/vmcore support" (Optional, in Pseudo filesystems).
CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE=y
d) Disable SMP support and build a UP kernel (Until it is fixed).
CONFIG_SMP=n
e) Enable "Local APIC support on uniprocessors".
CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC=y
f) Enable "IO-APIC support on uniprocessors"
CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=y
Note: i) Options a) and b) depend upon "Configure standard kernel features
(for small systems)" (under General setup).
ii) Option a) also depends on CONFIG_HIGHMEM (under Processor
type and features).
iii) Both option a) and b) are under "Processor type and features".
3) Boot into the first kernel. You are now ready to try out kexec-based crash
dumps.
4) Load the second kernel to be booted using:
kexec -p <second-kernel> --crash-dump --args-linux --append="root=<root-dev>
init 1 irqpoll"
Note: i) <second-kernel> has to be a vmlinux image. bzImage will not work,
as of now.
ii) By default ELF headers are stored in ELF32 format (for i386). This
is sufficient to represent the physical memory up to 4GB. To store
headers in ELF64 format, specifiy "--elf64-core-headers" on the
kexec command line additionally.
iii) Specify "irqpoll" as command line parameter. This reduces driver
initialization failures in second kernel due to shared interrupts.
5) System reboots into the second kernel when a panic occurs. A module can be
written to force the panic or "ALT-SysRq-c" can be used initiate a crash
dump for testing purposes.
6) Write out the dump file using
cp /proc/vmcore <dump-file>
Dump memory can also be accessed as a /dev/oldmem device for a linear/raw
view. To create the device, type:
mknod /dev/oldmem c 1 12
Use "dd" with suitable options for count, bs and skip to access specific
portions of the dump.
Entire memory: dd if=/dev/oldmem of=oldmem.001
ANALYSIS
========
Limited analysis can be done using gdb on the dump file copied out of
/proc/vmcore. Use vmlinux built with -g and run
gdb vmlinux <dump-file>
Stack trace for the task on processor 0, register display, memory display
work fine.
Note: gdb cannot analyse core files generated in ELF64 format for i386.
TODO
====
1) Provide a kernel pages filtering mechanism so that core file size is not
insane on systems having huge memory banks.
2) Modify "crash" tool to make it recognize this dump.

NOTES ON ACCESSING PAYLOAD CONTENTS
===================================
The simplest payload is just a number in key->payload.value. In this case,
there's no need to indulge in RCU or locking when accessing the payload.
More complex payload contents must be allocated and a pointer to them set in
key->payload.data. One of the following ways must be selected to access the
data:
(1) Unmodifyable key type.
If the key type does not have a modify method, then the key's payload can
be accessed without any form of locking, provided that it's known to be
instantiated (uninstantiated keys cannot be "found").
(2) The key's semaphore.
The semaphore could be used to govern access to the payload and to control
the payload pointer. It must be write-locked for modifications and would
have to be read-locked for general access. The disadvantage of doing this
is that the accessor may be required to sleep.
(3) RCU.
RCU must be used when the semaphore isn't already held; if the semaphore
is held then the contents can't change under you unexpectedly as the
semaphore must still be used to serialise modifications to the key. The
key management code takes care of this for the key type.
However, this means using:
rcu_read_lock() ... rcu_dereference() ... rcu_read_unlock()
to read the pointer, and:
rcu_dereference() ... rcu_assign_pointer() ... call_rcu()
to set the pointer and dispose of the old contents after a grace period.
Note that only the key type should ever modify a key's payload.
Furthermore, an RCU controlled payload must hold a struct rcu_head for the
use of call_rcu() and, if the payload is of variable size, the length of
the payload. key->datalen cannot be relied upon to be consistent with the
payload just dereferenced if the key's semaphore is not held.

- Congestion control
- How the new TCP output machine [nyi] works
Congestion control
==================
The following variables are used in the tcp_sock for congestion control:
snd_cwnd The size of the congestion window
snd_ssthresh Slow start threshold. We are in slow start if
snd_cwnd is less than this.
snd_cwnd_cnt A counter used to slow down the rate of increase
once we exceed slow start threshold.
snd_cwnd_clamp This is the maximum size that snd_cwnd can grow to.
snd_cwnd_stamp Timestamp for when congestion window last validated.
snd_cwnd_used Used as a highwater mark for how much of the
congestion window is in use. It is used to adjust
snd_cwnd down when the link is limited by the
application rather than the network.
As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms.
A congestion control mechanism can be registered through functions in
tcp_cong.c. The functions used by the congestion control mechanism are
registered via passing a tcp_congestion_ops struct to
tcp_register_congestion_control. As a minimum name, ssthresh,
cong_avoid, min_cwnd must be valid.
Private data for a congestion control mechanism is stored in tp->ca_priv.
tcp_ca(tp) returns a pointer to this space. This is preallocated space - it
is important to check the size of your private data will fit this space, or
alternatively space could be allocated elsewhere and a pointer to it could
be stored here.
There are three kinds of congestion control algorithms currently: The
simplest ones are derived from TCP reno (highspeed, scalable) and just
provide an alternative the congestion window calculation. More complex
ones like BIC try to look at other events to provide better
heuristics. There are also round trip time based algorithms like
Vegas and Westwood+.
Good TCP congestion control is a complex problem because the algorithm
needs to maintain fairness and performance. Please review current
research and RFC's before developing new modules.
The method that is used to determine which congestion control mechanism is
determined by the setting of the sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control.
The default congestion control will be the last one registered (LIFO);
so if you built everything as modules. the default will be reno. If you
build with the default's from Kconfig, then BIC will be builtin (not a module)
and it will end up the default.
If you really want a particular default value then you will need
to set it with the sysctl. If you use a sysctl, the module will be autoloaded
if needed and you will get the expected protocol. If you ask for an
unknown congestion method, then the sysctl attempt will fail.
If you remove a tcp congestion control module, then you will get the next
available one. Since reno can not be built as a module, and can not be
deleted, it will always be available.

Linux WAN Router Utilities Package
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.2.1

Author: Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
Wide Area Networks (WANs) are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs)
and/or stand-alone hosts over vast distances with data transfer rates
significantly higher than those achievable with commonly used dial-up
connections.
Usually an external device called `WAN router' sitting on your local network
or connected to your machine's serial port provides physical connection to
WAN. Although router's job may be as simple as taking your local network
traffic, converting it to WAN format and piping it through the WAN link, these
devices are notoriously expensive, with prices as much as 2 - 5 times higher
then the price of a typical PC box.
Alternatively, considering robustness and multitasking capabilities of Linux,
an internal router can be built (most routers use some sort of stripped down
Unix-like operating system anyway). With a number of relatively inexpensive WAN
interface cards available on the market, a perfectly usable router can be
built for less than half a price of an external router. Yet a Linux box
acting as a router can still be used for other purposes, such as fire-walling,
running FTP, WWW or DNS server, etc.
This kernel module introduces the notion of a WAN Link Driver (WLD) to Linux
operating system and provides generic hardware-independent services for such
drivers. Why can existing Linux network device interface not be used for
this purpose? Well, it can. However, there are a few key differences between
a typical network interface (e.g. Ethernet) and a WAN link.
Many WAN protocols, such as X.25 and frame relay, allow for multiple logical
connections (known as `virtual circuits' in X.25 terminology) over a single
physical link. Each such virtual circuit may (and almost always does) lead
to a different geographical location and, therefore, different network. As a
result, it is the virtual circuit, not the physical link, that represents a
route and, therefore, a network interface in Linux terms.
To further complicate things, virtual circuits are usually volatile in nature
(excluding so called `permanent' virtual circuits or PVCs). With almost no
time required to set up and tear down a virtual circuit, it is highly desirable
to implement on-demand connections in order to minimize network charges. So
unlike a typical network driver, the WAN driver must be able to handle multiple
network interfaces and cope as multiple virtual circuits come into existence
and go away dynamically.
Last, but not least, WAN configuration is much more complex than that of say
Ethernet and may well amount to several dozens of parameters. Some of them
are "link-wide" while others are virtual circuit-specific. The same holds
true for WAN statistics which is by far more extensive and extremely useful
when troubleshooting WAN connections. Extending the ifconfig utility to suit
these needs may be possible, but does not seem quite reasonable. Therefore, a
WAN configuration utility and corresponding application programmer's interface
is needed for this purpose.
Most of these problems are taken care of by this module. Its goal is to
provide a user with more-or-less standard look and feel for all WAN devices and
assist a WAN device driver writer by providing common services, such as:
o User-level interface via /proc file system
o Centralized configuration
o Device management (setup, shutdown, etc.)
o Network interface management (dynamic creation/destruction)
o Protocol encapsulation/decapsulation
To ba able to use the Linux WAN Router you will also need a WAN Tools package
available from

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This product is based on the WANPIPE(tm) Multiprotocol WAN Router developed
by Sangoma Technologies Inc. for Linux 2.0.x and 2.2.x. Success of the WANPIPE
together with the next major release of Linux kernel in summer 1996 commanded
adequate changes to the WANPIPE code to take full advantage of new Linux
features.
Instead of continuing developing proprietary interface tied to Sangoma WAN
cards, we decided to separate all hardware-independent code into a separate
module and defined two levels of interfaces - one for user-level applications
and another for kernel-level WAN drivers. WANPIPE is now implemented as a
WAN driver compliant with the WAN Link Driver interface. Also a general
purpose WAN configuration utility and a set of shell scripts was developed to
support WAN router at the user level.
Many useful ideas concerning hardware-independent interface implementation
were given by Mike McLagan <mike.mclagan@linux.org> and his implementation
of the Frame Relay router and drivers for Sangoma cards (dlci/sdla).
With the new implementation of the APIs being incorporated into the WANPIPE,
a special thank goes to Alan Cox in providing insight into BSD sockets.
Special thanks to all the WANPIPE users who performed field-testing, reported
bugs and made valuable comments and suggestions that help us to improve this
product.
NEW IN THIS RELEASE
o Updated the WANCFG utility
Calls the pppconfig to configure the PPPD
for async connections.
o Added the PPPCONFIG utility
Used to configure the PPPD dameon for the
WANPIPE Async PPP and standard serial port.
The wancfg calls the pppconfig to configure
the pppd.
o Fixed the PCI autodetect feature.
The SLOT 0 was used as an autodetect option
however, some high end PC's slot numbers start
from 0.
o This release has been tested with the new backupd
daemon release.

o Socket based chdlc api
o Socket based fr api
o Dual Port Receive only CHDLC support.
o Asynchronous CHDLC support (Secondary Port)
o cfgft1 GUI csu/dsu configurator
o wancfg GUI configuration file
configurator.
o Architectual directory changes.
beta-2.1.4 Jul 2000 o Dynamic interface configuration:
Network interfaces reflect the state
of protocol layer. If the protocol becomes
disconnected, driver will bring down
the interface. Once the protocol reconnects
the interface will be brought up.
Note: This option is turned off by default.
o Dynamic wanrouter setup using 'wanconfig':
wanconfig utility can be used to
shutdown,restart,start or reconfigure
a virtual circuit dynamically.
Frame Relay: Each DLCI can be:
created,stopped,restarted and reconfigured
dynamically using wanconfig.
ex: wanconfig card wanpipe1 dev wp1_fr16 up
o Wanrouter startup via command line arguments:
wanconfig also supports wanrouter startup via command line
arguments. Thus, there is no need to create a wanpipe#.conf
configuration file.
o Socket based x25api update/bug fixes.
Added support for LCN numbers greater than 255.
Option to pass up modem messages.
Provided a PCI IRQ check, so a single S514
card is guaranteed to have a non-sharing interrupt.
o Fixes to the wancfg utility.
o New FT1 debugging support via *pipemon utilities.
o Frame Relay ARP support Enabled.
beta3-2.1.4 Jul 2000 o X25 M_BIT Problem fix.
o Added the Multi-Port PPP
Updated utilites for the Multi-Port PPP.
2.1.4 Aut 2000
o In X25API:
Maximum packet an application can send
to the driver has been extended to 4096 bytes.
Fixed the x25 startup bug. Enable
communications only after all interfaces
come up. HIGH SVC/PVC is used to calculate
the number of channels.
Enable protocol only after all interfaces
are enabled.
o Added an extra state to the FT1 config, kernel module.
o Updated the pipemon debuggers.
o Blocked the Multi-Port PPP from running on kernels
2.2.16 or greater, due to syncppp kernel module
change.
beta1-2.1.5 Nov 15 2000
o Fixed the MulitPort PPP Support for kernels 2.2.16 and above.
2.2.X kernels only
o Secured the driver UDP debugging calls
- All illegal netowrk debugging calls are reported to
the log.
- Defined a set of allowed commands, all other denied.
o Cpipemon
- Added set FT1 commands to the cpipemon. Thus CSU/DSU
configuraiton can be performed using cpipemon.
All systems that cannot run cfgft1 GUI utility should
use cpipemon to configure the on board CSU/DSU.
o Keyboard Led Monitor/Debugger
- A new utilty /usr/sbin/wpkbdmon uses keyboard leds
to convey operatinal statistic information of the
Sangoma WANPIPE cards.
NUM_LOCK = Line State (On=connected, Off=disconnected)
CAPS_LOCK = Tx data (On=transmitting, Off=no tx data)
SCROLL_LOCK = Rx data (On=receiving, Off=no rx data
o Hardware probe on module load and dynamic device allocation
- During WANPIPE module load, all Sangoma cards are probed
and found information is printed in the /var/log/messages.
- If no cards are found, the module load fails.
- Appropriate number of devices are dynamically loaded
based on the number of Sangoma cards found.
Note: The kernel configuraiton option
CONFIG_WANPIPE_CARDS has been taken out.
o Fixed the Frame Relay and Chdlc network interfaces so they are
compatible with libpcap libraries. Meaning, tcpdump, snort,
ethereal, and all other packet sniffers and debuggers work on
all WANPIPE netowrk interfaces.
- Set the network interface encoding type to ARPHRD_PPP.
This tell the sniffers that data obtained from the
network interface is in pure IP format.
Fix for 2.2.X kernels only.
o True interface encoding option for Frame Relay and CHDLC
- The above fix sets the network interface encoding
type to ARPHRD_PPP, however some customers use
the encoding interface type to determine the
protocol running. Therefore, the TURE ENCODING
option will set the interface type back to the
original value.
NOTE: If this option is used with Frame Relay and CHDLC
libpcap library support will be broken.
i.e. tcpdump will not work.
Fix for 2.2.x Kernels only.
o Ethernet Bridgind over Frame Relay
- The Frame Relay bridging has been developed by
Kristian Hoffmann and Mark Wells.
- The Linux kernel bridge is used to send ethernet
data over the frame relay links.
For 2.2.X Kernels only.
o Added extensive 2.0.X support. Most new features of
2.1.5 for protocols Frame Relay, PPP and CHDLC are
supported under 2.0.X kernels.
beta1-2.2.0 Dec 30 2000
o Updated drivers for 2.4.X kernels.
o Updated drivers for SMP support.
o X25API is now able to share PCI interrupts.
o Took out a general polling routine that was used
only by X25API.
o Added appropriate locks to the dynamic reconfiguration
code.
o Fixed a bug in the keyboard debug monitor.
beta2-2.2.0 Jan 8 2001
o Patches for 2.4.0 kernel
o Patches for 2.2.18 kernel
o Minor updates to PPP and CHLDC drivers.
Note: No functinal difference.
beta3-2.2.9 Jan 10 2001
o I missed the 2.2.18 kernel patches in beta2-2.2.0
release. They are included in this release.
Stable Release
2.2.0 Feb 01 2001
o Bug fix in wancfg GUI configurator.
The edit function didn't work properly.
bata1-2.2.1 Feb 09 2001
o WANPIPE TTY Driver emulation.
Two modes of operation Sync and Async.
Sync: Using the PPPD daemon, kernel SyncPPP layer
and the Wanpipe sync TTY driver: a PPP protocol
connection can be established via Sangoma adapter, over
a T1 leased line.
The 2.4.0 kernel PPP layer supports MULTILINK
protocol, that can be used to bundle any number of Sangoma
adapters (T1 lines) into one, under a single IP address.
Thus, efficiently obtaining multiple T1 throughput.
NOTE: The remote side must also implement MULTILINK PPP
protocol.
Async:Using the PPPD daemon, kernel AsyncPPP layer
and the WANPIPE async TTY driver: a PPP protocol
connection can be established via Sangoma adapter and
a modem, over a telephone line.
Thus, the WANPIPE async TTY driver simulates a serial
TTY driver that would normally be used to interface the
MODEM to the linux kernel.
o WANPIPE PPP Backup Utility
This utility will monitor the state of the PPP T1 line.
In case of failure, a dial up connection will be established
via pppd daemon, ether via a serial tty driver (serial port),
or a WANPIPE async TTY driver (in case serial port is unavailable).
Furthermore, while in dial up mode, the primary PPP T1 link
will be monitored for signs of life.
If the PPP T1 link comes back to life, the dial up connection
will be shutdown and T1 line re-established.
o New Setup installation script.
Option to UPGRADE device drivers if the kernel source has
already been patched with WANPIPE.
Option to COMPILE WANPIPE modules against the currently
running kernel, thus no need for manual kernel and module
re-compilatin.
o Updates and Bug Fixes to wancfg utility.
bata2-2.2.1 Feb 20 2001
o Bug fixes to the CHDLC device drivers.
The driver had compilation problems under kernels
2.2.14 or lower.
o Bug fixes to the Setup installation script.
The device drivers compilation options didn't work
properly.
o Update to the wpbackupd daemon.
Optimized the cross-over times, between the primary
link and the backup dialup.
beta3-2.2.1 Mar 02 2001
o Patches for 2.4.2 kernel.
o Bug fixes to util/ make files.
o Bug fixes to the Setup installation script.
o Took out the backupd support and made it into
as separate package.
beta4-2.2.1 Mar 12 2001
o Fix to the Frame Relay Device driver.
IPSAC sends a packet of zero length
header to the frame relay driver. The
driver tries to push its own 2 byte header
into the packet, which causes the driver to
crash.
o Fix the WANPIPE re-configuration code.
Bug was found by trying to run the cfgft1 while the
interface was already running.
o Updates to cfgft1.
Writes a wanpipe#.cfgft1 configuration file
once the CSU/DSU is configured. This file can
holds the current CSU/DSU configuration.

Driver Detach Power Management
The kernel now supports the ability to place a device in a low-power
state when it is detached from its driver, which happens when its
module is removed.
Each device contains a 'detach_state' file in its sysfs directory
which can be used to control this state. Reading from this file
displays what the current detach state is set to. This is 0 (On) by
default. A user may write a positive integer value to this file in the
range of 1-4 inclusive.
A value of 1-3 will indicate the device should be placed in that
low-power state, which will cause ->suspend() to be called for that
device. A value of 4 indicates that the device should be shutdown, so
->shutdown() will be called for that device.
The driver is responsible for reinitializing the device when the
module is re-inserted during it's ->probe() (or equivalent) method.
The driver core will not call any extra functions when binding the
device to the driver.

Q: What happens to devices during swsusp? They seem to be resumed

A: That's correct. We need to resume them if we want to write image to
disk. Whole sequence goes like
Suspend part
~~~~~~~~~~~~
running system, user asks for suspend-to-disk
user processes are stopped
suspend(PMSG_FREEZE): devices are frozen so that they don't interfere
with state snapshot
state snapshot: copy of whole used memory is taken with interrupts disabled
resume(): devices are woken up so that we can write image to swap
write image to swap
suspend(PMSG_SUSPEND): suspend devices so that we can power off

Resume part
~~~~~~~~~~~
(is actually pretty similar)
running system, user asks for suspend-to-disk
user processes are stopped (in common case there are none, but with resume-from-initrd, noone knows)
read image from disk
suspend(PMSG_FREEZE): devices are frozen so that they don't interfere
with image restoration
image restoration: rewrite memory with image
resume(): devices are woken up so that system can continue
thaw all user processes
Q: What is this 'Encrypt suspend image' for?
A: First of all: it is not a replacement for dm-crypt encrypted swap.
It cannot protect your computer while it is suspended. Instead it does
protect from leaking sensitive data after resume from suspend.
Think of the following: you suspend while an application is running
that keeps sensitive data in memory. The application itself prevents
the data from being swapped out. Suspend, however, must write these
data to swap to be able to resume later on. Without suspend encryption
your sensitive data are then stored in plaintext on disk. This means
that after resume your sensitive data are accessible to all
applications having direct access to the swap device which was used
for suspend. If you don't need swap after resume these data can remain
on disk virtually forever. Thus it can happen that your system gets
broken in weeks later and sensitive data which you thought were
encrypted and protected are retrieved and stolen from the swap device.
To prevent this situation you should use 'Encrypt suspend image'.
During suspend a temporary key is created and this key is used to
encrypt the data written to disk. When, during resume, the data was
read back into memory the temporary key is destroyed which simply
means that all data written to disk during suspend are then
inaccessible so they can't be stolen later on. The only thing that
you must then take care of is that you call 'mkswap' for the swap
partition used for suspend as early as possible during regular
boot. This asserts that any temporary key from an oopsed suspend or
from a failed or aborted resume is erased from the swap device.
As a rule of thumb use encrypted swap to protect your data while your
system is shut down or suspended. Additionally use the encrypted
suspend image to prevent sensitive data from being stolen after
resume.

Subject RFC: assert_spin_locked() for 2.6
Greetings!
overcautious programming will kill your kernel ;)
ever thought about checking a spin_lock or even
asserting that it must be held (maybe just for
spinlock debugging?) ...
there are several checks present in the kernel
where somebody does a variation on the following:
BUG_ON(!spin_is_locked(&some_lock));
so what's wrong about that? nothing, unless you
compile the code with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK but
without CONFIG_SMP ... in which case the BUG()
will kill your kernel ...
maybe it's not advised to make such assertions,
but here is a solution which works for me ...
(compile tested for sh, x86_64 and x86, boot/run
tested for x86 only)
best,

README for the SCSI media changer driver
========================================
This is a driver for SCSI Medium Changer devices, which are listed
with "Type: Medium Changer" in /proc/scsi/scsi.
This is for *real* Jukeboxes. It is *not* supported to work with
common small CD-ROM changers, neither one-lun-per-slot SCSI changers
nor IDE drives.
Userland tools available from here:
http://linux.bytesex.org/misc/changer.html
General Information
-------------------
First some words about how changers work: A changer has 2 (possibly
more) SCSI ID's. One for the changer device which controls the robot,
and one for the device which actually reads and writes the data. The
later may be anything, a MOD, a CD-ROM, a tape or whatever. For the
changer device this is a "don't care", he *only* shuffles around the
media, nothing else.
The SCSI changer model is complex, compared to - for example - IDE-CD
changers. But it allows to handle nearly all possible cases. It knows
4 different types of changer elements:
media transport - this one shuffles around the media, i.e. the
transport arm. Also known as "picker".
storage - a slot which can hold a media.
import/export - the same as above, but is accessable from outside,
i.e. there the operator (you !) can use this to
fill in and remove media from the changer.
Sometimes named "mailslot".
data transfer - this is the device which reads/writes, i.e. the
CD-ROM / Tape / whatever drive.
None of these is limited to one: A huge Jukebox could have slots for
123 CD-ROM's, 5 CD-ROM readers (and therefore 6 SCSI ID's: the changer
and each CD-ROM) and 2 transport arms. No problem to handle.
How it is implemented
---------------------
I implemented the driver as character device driver with a NetBSD-like
ioctl interface. Just grabbed NetBSD's header file and one of the
other linux SCSI device drivers as starting point. The interface
should be source code compatible with NetBSD. So if there is any
software (anybody knows ???) which supports a BSDish changer driver,
it should work with this driver too.
Over time a few more ioctls where added, volume tag support for example
wasn't covered by the NetBSD ioctl API.
Current State
-------------
Support for more than one transport arm is not implemented yet (and
nobody asked for it so far...).
I test and use the driver myself with a 35 slot cdrom jukebox from
Grundig. I got some reports telling it works ok with tape autoloaders
(Exabyte, HP and DEC). Some People use this driver with amanda. It
works fine with small (11 slots) and a huge (4 MOs, 88 slots)
magneto-optical Jukebox. Probably with lots of other changers too, most
(but not all :-) people mail me only if it does *not* work...
I don't have any device lists, neither black-list nor white-list. Thus
it is quite useless to ask me whenever a specific device is supported or
not. In theory every changer device which supports the SCSI-2 media
changer command set should work out-of-the-box with this driver. If it
doesn't, it is a bug. Either within the driver or within the firmware
of the changer device.
Using it
--------
This is a character device with major number is 86, so use
"mknod /dev/sch0 c 86 0" to create the special file for the driver.
If the module finds the changer, it prints some messages about the
device [ try "dmesg" if you don't see anything ] and should show up in
/proc/devices. If not.... some changers use ID ? / LUN 0 for the
device and ID ? / LUN 1 for the robot mechanism. But Linux does *not*
look for LUN's other than 0 as default, becauce there are to many
broken devices. So you can try:
1) echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 ID 1" > /proc/scsi/scsi
(replace ID with the SCSI-ID of the device)
2) boot the kernel with "max_scsi_luns=1" on the command line
(append="max_scsi_luns=1" in lilo.conf should do the trick)
Trouble?
--------
If you insmod the driver with "insmod debug=1", it will be verbose and
prints a lot of stuff to the syslog. Compiling the kernel with
CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS=y improves the quality of the error messages alot
because the kernel will translate the error codes into human-readable
strings then.
You can display these messages with the dmesg command (or check the
logfiles). If you email me some question becauce of a problem with the
driver, please include these messages.
Insmod options
--------------
debug=0/1
Enable debug messages (see above, default: 0).
verbose=0/1
Be verbose (default: 1).
init=0/1
Send INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command to the changer
at insmod time (default: 1).
timeout_init=<seconds>
timeout for the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command
(default: 3600).
timeout_move=<seconds>
timeout for all other commands (default: 120).
dt_id=<id1>,<id2>,...
dt_lun=<lun1>,<lun2>,...
These two allow to specify the SCSI ID and LUN for the data
transfer elements. You likely don't need this as the jukebox
should provide this information. But some devices don't ...
vendor_firsts=
vendor_counts=
vendor_labels=
These insmod options can be used to tell the driver that there
are some vendor-specific element types. Grundig for example
does this. Some jukeboxes have a printer to label fresh burned
CDs, which is addressed as element 0xc000 (type 5). To tell the
driver about this vendor-specific element, use this:
$ insmod ch \
vendor_firsts=0xc000 \
vendor_counts=1 \
vendor_labels=printer
All three insmod options accept up to four comma-separated
values, this way you can configure the element types 5-8.
You likely need the SCSI specs for the device in question to
find the correct values as they are not covered by the SCSI-2
standard.

The SGI IOC4 PCI device is a bit of a strange beast, so some notes on
it are in order.
First, even though the IOC4 performs multiple functions, such as an
IDE controller, a serial controller, a PS/2 keyboard/mouse controller,
and an external interrupt mechanism, it's not implemented as a
multifunction device. The consequence of this from a software
standpoint is that all these functions share a single IRQ, and
they can't all register to own the same PCI device ID. To make
matters a bit worse, some of the register blocks (and even registers
themselves) present in IOC4 are mixed-purpose between these several
functions, meaning that there's no clear "owning" device driver.
The solution is to organize the IOC4 driver into several independent
drivers, "ioc4", "sgiioc4", and "ioc4_serial". Note that there is no
PS/2 controller driver as this functionality has never been wired up
on a shipping IO card.
ioc4
====
This is the core (or shim) driver for IOC4. It is responsible for
initializing the basic functionality of the chip, and allocating
the PCI resources that are shared between the IOC4 functions.
This driver also provides registration functions that the other
IOC4 drivers can call to make their presence known. Each driver
needs to provide a probe and remove function, which are invoked
by the core driver at appropriate times. The interface of these
IOC4 function probe and remove operations isn't precisely the same
as PCI device probe and remove operations, but is logically the
same operation.
sgiioc4
=======
This is the IDE driver for IOC4. Its name isn't very descriptive
simply for historical reasons (it used to be the only IOC4 driver
component). There's not much to say about it other than it hooks
up to the ioc4 driver via the appropriate registration, probe, and
remove functions.
ioc4_serial
===========
This is the serial driver for IOC4. There's not much to say about it
other than it hooks up to the ioc4 driver via the appropriate registration,
probe, and remove functions.

Early Buffer Allocation
=======================
Some drivers (e.g. hdsp) require the large contiguous buffers, and
sometimes it's too late to find such spaces when the driver module is
actually loaded due to memory fragmentation. You can pre-allocate the
PCM buffers by loading snd-page-alloc module and write commands to its
proc file in prior, for example, in the early boot stage like
/etc/init.d/*.local scripts.
Reading the proc file /proc/drivers/snd-page-alloc shows the current
usage of page allocation. In writing, you can send the following
commands to the snd-page-alloc driver:
- add VENDOR DEVICE MASK SIZE BUFFERS
VENDOR and DEVICE are PCI vendor and device IDs. They take
integer numbers (0x prefix is needed for the hex).
MASK is the PCI DMA mask. Pass 0 if not restricted.
SIZE is the size of each buffer to allocate. You can pass
k and m suffix for KB and MB. The max number is 16MB.
BUFFERS is the number of buffers to allocate. It must be greater
than 0. The max number is 4.
- erase
This will erase the all pre-allocated buffers which are not in
use.

This document is a guide to using the emu10k1 based devices with JACK for low
latency, multichannel recording functionality. All of my recent work to allow
Linux users to use the full capabilities of their hardware has been inspired
by the kX Project. Without their work I never would have discovered the true
power of this hardware.

Low latency, multichannel audio with JACK and the emu10k1/emu10k2
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Until recently, emu10k1 users on Linux did not have access to the same low
latency, multichannel features offered by the "kX ASIO" feature of their
Windows driver. As of ALSA 1.0.9 this is no more!
For those unfamiliar with kX ASIO, this consists of 16 capture and 16 playback
channels. With a post 2.6.9 Linux kernel, latencies down to 64 (1.33 ms) or
even 32 (0.66ms) frames should work well.
The configuration is slightly more involved than on Windows, as you have to
select the correct device for JACK to use. Actually, for qjackctl users it's
fairly self explanatory - select Duplex, then for capture and playback select
the multichannel devices, set the in and out channels to 16, and the sample
rate to 48000Hz. The command line looks like this:
/usr/local/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -r48000 -p64 -n2 -D -Chw:0,2 -Phw:0,3 -S
This will give you 16 input ports and 16 output ports.
The 16 output ports map onto the 16 FX buses (or the first 16 of 64, for the
Audigy). The mapping from FX bus to physical output is described in
SB-Live-mixer.txt (or Audigy-mixer.txt).
The 16 input ports are connected to the 16 physical inputs. Contrary to
popular belief, all emu10k1 cards are multichannel cards. Which of these
input channels have physical inputs connected to them depends on the card
model. Trial and error is highly recommended; the pinout diagrams
for the card have been reverse engineered by some enterprising kX users and are
available on the internet. Meterbridge is helpful here, and the kX forums are
packed with useful information.
Each input port will either correspond to a digital (SPDIF) input, an analog
input, or nothing. The one exception is the SBLive! 5.1. On these devices,
the second and third input ports are wired to the center/LFE output. You will
still see 16 capture channels, but only 14 are available for recording inputs.
This chart, borrowed from kxfxlib/da_asio51.cpp, describes the mapping of JACK
ports to FXBUS2 (multitrack recording input) and EXTOUT (physical output)
channels.

Software Interface ALSA-DSP MADI Driver
(translated from German, so no good English ;-),
2004 - winfried ritsch
Full functionality has been added to the driver. Since some of
the Controls and startup-options are ALSA-Standard and only the
special Controls are described and discussed below.
hardware functionality:
Audio transmission:
number of channels -- depends on transmission mode
The number of channels chosen is from 1..Nmax. The reason to
use for a lower number of channels is only resource allocation,
since unused DMA channels are disabled and less memory is
allocated. So also the throughput of the PCI system can be
scaled. (Only important for low performance boards).
Single Speed -- 1..64 channels
(Note: Choosing the 56channel mode for transmission or as
receiver, only 56 are transmitted/received over the MADI, but
all 64 channels are available for the mixer, so channel count
for the driver)
Double Speed -- 1..32 channels
Note: Choosing the 56-channel mode for
transmission/receive-mode , only 28 are transmitted/received
over the MADI, but all 32 channels are available for the mixer,
so channel count for the driver
Quad Speed -- 1..16 channels
Note: Choosing the 56-channel mode for
transmission/receive-mode , only 14 are transmitted/received
over the MADI, but all 16 channels are available for the mixer,
so channel count for the driver
Format -- signed 32 Bit Little Endian (SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S32_LE)
Sample Rates --
Single Speed -- 32000, 44100, 48000
Double Speed -- 64000, 88200, 96000 (untested)
Quad Speed -- 128000, 176400, 192000 (untested)
access-mode -- MMAP (memory mapped), Not interleaved
(PCM_NON-INTERLEAVED)
buffer-sizes -- 64,128,256,512,1024,2048,8192 Samples
fragments -- 2
Hardware-pointer -- 2 Modi
The Card supports the readout of the actual Buffer-pointer,
where DMA reads/writes. Since of the bulk mode of PCI it is only
64 Byte accurate. SO it is not really usable for the
ALSA-mid-level functions (here the buffer-ID gives a better
result), but if MMAP is used by the application. Therefore it
can be configured at load-time with the parameter
precise-pointer.
(Hint: Experimenting I found that the pointer is maximum 64 to
large never to small. So if you subtract 64 you always have a
safe pointer for writing, which is used on this mode inside
ALSA. In theory now you can get now a latency as low as 16
Samples, which is a quarter of the interrupt possibilities.)
Precise Pointer -- off
interrupt used for pointer-calculation
Precise Pointer -- on
hardware pointer used.
Controller:
Since DSP-MADI-Mixer has 8152 Fader, it does not make sense to
use the standard mixer-controls, since this would break most of
(especially graphic) ALSA-Mixer GUIs. So Mixer control has be
provided by a 2-dimensional controller using the
hwdep-interface.
Also all 128+256 Peak and RMS-Meter can be accessed via the
hwdep-interface. Since it could be a performance problem always
copying and converting Peak and RMS-Levels even if you just need
one, I decided to export the hardware structure, so that of
needed some driver-guru can implement a memory-mapping of mixer
or peak-meters over ioctl, or also to do only copying and no
conversion. A test-application shows the usage of the controller.
Latency Controls --- not implemented !!!
Note: Within the windows-driver the latency is accessible of a
control-panel, but buffer-sizes are controlled with ALSA from
hwparams-calls and should not be changed in run-state, I did not
implement it here.
System Clock -- suspended !!!!
Name -- "System Clock Mode"
Access -- Read Write
Values -- "Master" "Slave"
!!!! This is a hardware-function but is in conflict with the
Clock-source controller, which is a kind of ALSA-standard. I
makes sense to set the card to a special mode (master at some
frequency or slave), since even not using an Audio-application
a studio should have working synchronisations setup. So use
Clock-source-controller instead !!!!
Clock Source
Name -- "Sample Clock Source"
Access -- Read Write
Values -- "AutoSync", "Internal 32.0 kHz", "Internal 44.1 kHz",
"Internal 48.0 kHz", "Internal 64.0 kHz", "Internal 88.2 kHz",
"Internal 96.0 kHz"
Choose between Master at a specific Frequency and so also the
Speed-mode or Slave (Autosync). Also see "Preferred Sync Ref"
!!!! This is no pure hardware function but was implemented by
ALSA by some ALSA-drivers before, so I use it also. !!!
Preferred Sync Ref
Name -- "Preferred Sync Reference"
Access -- Read Write
Values -- "Word" "MADI"
Within the Auto-sync-Mode the preferred Sync Source can be
chosen. If it is not available another is used if possible.
Note: Since MADI has a much higher bit-rate than word-clock, the
card should synchronise better in MADI Mode. But since the
RME-PLL is very good, there are almost no problems with
word-clock too. I never found a difference.
TX 64 channel ---
Name -- "TX 64 channels mode"
Access -- Read Write
Values -- 0 1
Using 64-channel-modus (1) or 56-channel-modus for
MADI-transmission (0).
Note: This control is for output only. Input-mode is detected
automatically from hardware sending MADI.
Clear TMS ---
Name -- "Clear Track Marker"
Access -- Read Write
Values -- 0 1
Don't use to lower 5 Audio-bits on AES as additional Bits.
Safe Mode oder Auto Input ---
Name -- "Safe Mode"
Access -- Read Write
Values -- 0 1
(default on)
If on (1), then if either the optical or coaxial connection
has a failure, there is a takeover to the working one, with no
sample failure. Its only useful if you use the second as a
backup connection.
Input ---
Name -- "Input Select"
Access -- Read Write
Values -- optical coaxial
Choosing the Input, optical or coaxial. If Safe-mode is active,
this is the preferred Input.
-------------- Mixer ----------------------
Mixer
Name -- "Mixer"
Access -- Read Write
Values - <channel-number 0-127> <Value 0-65535>
Here as a first value the channel-index is taken to get/set the
corresponding mixer channel, where 0-63 are the input to output
fader and 64-127 the playback to outputs fader. Value 0
is channel muted 0 and 32768 an amplification of 1.
Chn 1-64
fast mixer for the ALSA-mixer utils. The diagonal of the
mixer-matrix is implemented from playback to output.
Line Out
Name -- "Line Out"
Access -- Read Write
Values -- 0 1
Switching on and off the analog out, which has nothing to do
with mixing or routing. the analog outs reflects channel 63,64.
--- information (only read access):
Sample Rate
Name -- "System Sample Rate"
Access -- Read-only
getting the sample rate.
External Rate measured
Name -- "External Rate"
Access -- Read only
Should be "Autosync Rate", but Name used is
ALSA-Scheme. External Sample frequency liked used on Autosync is
reported.
MADI Sync Status
Name -- "MADI Sync Lock Status"
Access -- Read
Values -- 0,1,2
MADI-Input is 0=Unlocked, 1=Locked, or 2=Synced.
Word Clock Sync Status
Name -- "Word Clock Lock Status"
Access -- Read
Values -- 0,1,2
Word Clock Input is 0=Unlocked, 1=Locked, or 2=Synced.
AutoSync
Name -- "AutoSync Reference"
Access -- Read
Values -- "WordClock", "MADI", "None"
Sync-Reference is either "WordClock", "MADI" or none.
RX 64ch --- noch nicht implementiert
MADI-Receiver is in 64 channel mode oder 56 channel mode.
AB_inp --- not tested
Used input for Auto-Input.
actual Buffer Position --- not implemented
!!! this is a ALSA internal function, so no control is used !!!
