95 Don't set any values, read only mode
101 The chips supported by this driver are very similar. The Maxim MAX1617 is
102 the oldest; it has the problem that it is not very well detectable. The
103 MAX1617A solves that. The ADM1021 is a straight clone of the MAX1617A.
104 Ditto for the THMC10. From here on, we will refer to all these chips as
107 The ADM1021 and MAX1617A reports a die code, which is a sort of revision
108 code. This can help us pinpoint problems; it is not very useful
111 ADM1021-clones implement two temperature sensors. One of them is internal,
112 and measures the temperature of the chip itself; the other is external and
113 is realised in the form of a transistor-like device. A special alarm
114 indicates whether the remote sensor is connected.
116 Each sensor has its own low and high limits. When they are crossed, the
117 corresponding alarm is set and remains on as long as the temperature stays
118 out of range. Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. Measurements
119 are possible between -65 and +127 degrees, with a resolution of one degree.
121 If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
122 is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
125 This driver only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
126 will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. It is possible to make
127 ADM1021-clones do faster measurements, but there is really no good reason
131 Netburst-based Xeon support
132 ---------------------------
134 Some Xeon processors based on the Netburst (early Pentium 4, from 2001 to
135 2003) microarchitecture had real MAX1617, ADM1021, or compatible chips
136 within them, with two temperature sensors. Other Xeon processors of this
137 era (with 400 MHz FSB) had chips with only one temperature sensor.
139 If you have such an old Xeon, and you get two valid temperatures when
140 loading the adm1021 module, then things are good.
142 If nothing happens when loading the adm1021 module, and you are certain
143 that your specific Xeon processor model includes compatible sensors, you
144 will have to explicitly instantiate the sensor chips from user-space. See
145 method 4 in Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices.rst. Possible slave
146 addresses are 0x18, 0x1a, 0x29, 0x2b, 0x4c, or 0x4e. It is likely that
147 only temp2 will be correct and temp1 will have to be ignored.
149 Previous generations of the Xeon processor (based on Pentium II/III)
150 didn't have these sensors. Next generations of Xeon processors (533 MHz
151 FSB and faster) lost them, until the Core-based generation which
152 introduced integrated digital thermal sensors. These are supported by
