- Kernel driver abituguru
- =======================
- Supported chips:
- * Abit uGuru (Hardware Monitor part only)
- Prefix: 'abituguru'
- Addresses scanned: ISA 0x0E0
- Datasheet: Not available, this driver is based on reverse engineering.
- A "Datasheet" has been written based on the reverse engineering it
- should be available in the same dir as this file under the name
- abituguru-datasheet.
- Authors:
- Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>,
- (Initial reverse engineering done by Olle Sandberg
- <ollebull@gmail.com>)
- Module Parameters
- -----------------
- * force: bool Force detection. Note this parameter only causes the
- detection to be skipped, if the uGuru can't be read
- the module initialization (insmod) will still fail.
- * fan_sensors: int Tell the driver how many fan speed sensors there are
- on your motherboard. Default: 0 (autodetect).
- * pwms: int Tell the driver how many fan speed controls (fan
- pwms) your motherboard has. Default: 0 (autodetect).
- * verbose: int How verbose should the driver be? (0-3):
- 0 normal output
- 1 + verbose error reporting
- 2 + sensors type probing info\n"
- 3 + retryable error reporting
- Default: 2 (the driver is still in the testing phase)
- Notice if you need any of the first three options above please insmod the
- driver with verbose set to 3 and mail me <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl> the output of:
- dmesg | grep abituguru
- Description
- -----------
- This driver supports the hardware monitoring features of the Abit uGuru chip
- found on Abit uGuru featuring motherboards (most modern Abit motherboards).
- The uGuru chip in reality is a Winbond W83L950D in disguise (despite Abit
- claiming it is "a new microprocessor designed by the ABIT Engineers").
- Unfortunatly this doesn't help since the W83L950D is a generic
- microcontroller with a custom Abit application running on it.
- Despite Abit not releasing any information regarding the uGuru, Olle
- Sandberg <ollebull@gmail.com> has managed to reverse engineer the sensor part
- of the uGuru. Without his work this driver would not have been possible.
- Known Issues
- ------------
- The voltage and frequency control parts of the Abit uGuru are not supported.
