Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
SMSC SCH5627 Super I/O chips include complete hardware monitoring
|
|
capabilities. They can monitor up to 5 voltages, 4 fans and 8 temperatures.
|
|
|
|
The SMSC SCH5627 hardware monitoring part also contains an integrated
|
|
watchdog. In order for this watchdog to function some motherboard specific
|
|
initialization most be done by the BIOS, so if the watchdog is not enabled
|
|
by the BIOS the sch5627 driver will not register a watchdog device.
|
|
|
|
The hardware monitoring part of the SMSC SCH5627 is accessed by talking
|
|
through an embedded microcontroller. An application note describing the
|
|
protocol for communicating with the microcontroller is available upon
|
|
request. Please mail me if you want a copy.
