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.
