15 | SiS southbridge has a LM78-like chip integrated on the same IC. |
16 | This driver is a customized copy of lm78.c |

18 | Supports following revisions: |
19 | Version PCI ID PCI Revision |
20 | 1 1039/0008 AF or less |
21 | 2 1039/0008 B0 or greater |
22 | |
23 | Note: these chips contain a 0008 device which is incompatible with the |
24 | 5595. We recognize these by the presence of the listed |
25 | "blacklist" PCI ID and refuse to load. |

40 | Module Parameters |
41 | ----------------- |
42 | force_addr=0xaddr Set the I/O base address. Useful for boards |
43 | that don't set the address in the BIOS. Does not do a |
44 | PCI force; the device must still be present in lspci. |
45 | Don't use this unless the driver complains that the |
46 | base address is not set. |
47 | Example: 'modprobe sis5595 force_addr=0x290' |

50 | Description |
51 | ----------- |
52 | |
53 | The SiS5595 southbridge has integrated hardware monitor functions. It also |
54 | has an I2C bus, but this driver only supports the hardware monitor. For the |
55 | I2C bus driver see i2c-sis5595. |
56 | |
57 | The SiS5595 implements zero or one temperature sensor, two fan speed |
58 | sensors, four or five voltage sensors, and alarms. |
59 | |
60 | On the first version of the chip, there are four voltage sensors and one |
61 | temperature sensor. |
62 | |
63 | On the second version of the chip, the temperature sensor (temp) and the |
64 | fifth voltage sensor (in4) share a pin which is configurable, but not |
65 | through the driver. Sorry. The driver senses the configuration of the pin, |
66 | which was hopefully set by the BIOS. |
67 | |
68 | Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once |
69 | when the max is crossed; it is also triggered when it drops below the min |
70 | value. Measurements are guaranteed between -55 and +125 degrees, with a |
71 | resolution of 1 degree. |
72 | |
73 | Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is |
74 | triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan |
75 | readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give |
76 | the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be |
77 | represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest |
78 | representable value is around 2600 RPM. |
79 | |
80 | Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts. An |
81 | alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or |
82 | maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to |
83 | zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. All voltage |
84 | inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution of |
85 | 0.016 volt. |
86 | |
87 | In addition to the alarms described above, there is a BTI alarm, which gets |
88 | triggered when an external chip has crossed its limits. Usually, this is |
89 | connected to some LM75-like chip; if at least one crosses its limits, this |
90 | bit gets set. |
91 | |
92 | If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register |
93 | is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already |
94 | have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware |
95 | registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 1.5 |
96 | seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss |
97 | once-only alarms. |
98 | |
99 | The SiS5595 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often |
100 | will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. |
101 | |
102 | Problems |
103 | -------- |
104 | Some chips refuse to be enabled. We don't know why. |
105 | The driver will recognize this and print a message in dmesg. |
