DESCRIPTION

The lm driver provides support for the National Semiconductor LM series hardware monitors and register compatible chips to be used with the envsys(4) API.

Most supported devices possess 11 sensors:

Sensor	Units	Typical Use
IN0	uV DC	Core voltage
IN1	uV DC	unknown
IN2	uV DC	+3.3V
IN3	uV DC	+5V
IN4	uV DC	+12V
IN5	uV DC	-12V
IN6	uV DC	-5V
Temp	uK	Motherboard Temperature
Fan0	RPM	Fan
Fan1	RPM	Chassis Fan
Fan2	RPM	Fan

for some devices (most Winbond devices) sensor names and numbers will be different.

Due to hardware limitations, fresh sensor data is only available every 2 seconds.

HARDWARE

Chips supported by the lm driver include:

• National Semiconductor LM78, LM78-J, LM79 and LM81.
• Winbond W83627HF*, W83627THF*, W83627EHF*, W83627DHG*, W83637HF*, W83697HF*, W83781D, W83782D*, W83783S*, W83791D*, W83791SD and W83792D.
• ASUS AS99127F.

For most of the Winbond chips (identified with a * above), the flags configuration option can be specified to select the type of temperature sensor:

flags	Sensor Type
0	Thermistor diode (Power-On default)
1	Pentium-II diode
2	2N3904 Bipolar
4	Thermistor diode

BUGS

Interrupt support is unimplemented.

There are currently no known pnpbios IDs assigned to LM chips.
