- Kernel driver sch5636
- =====================
- Supported chips:
- * SMSC SCH5636
- Prefix: 'sch5636'
- Addresses scanned: none, address read from Super I/O config space
- Author: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
- Description
- -----------
- SMSC SCH5636 Super I/O chips include an embedded microcontroller for
- hardware monitoring solutions, allowing motherboard manufacturers to create
- their own custom hwmon solution based upon the SCH5636.
- Currently the sch5636 driver only supports the Fujitsu Theseus SCH5636 based
- hwmon solution. The sch5636 driver runs a sanity check on loading to ensure
- it is dealing with a Fujitsu Theseus and not with another custom SCH5636 based
- hwmon solution.
- The Fujitsu Theseus can monitor up to 5 voltages, 8 fans and 16
- temperatures. Note that the driver detects how many fan headers /
- temperature sensors are actually implemented on the motherboard, so you will
- likely see fewer temperature and fan inputs.
- The Fujitsu Theseus hwmon solution also contains an integrated watchdog.
- This watchdog is fully supported by the sch5636 driver.
- An application note describing the Theseus' registers, as well as an
- application note describing the protocol for communicating with the
- microcontroller is available upon request. Please mail me if you want a copy.
