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.
