32 | Module Parameters | |
33 | ----------------- | |
34 | ||
35 | * force_addr: int | |
36 | Initialize the ISA address of the sensors | |
37 | * force_i2c: int | |
38 | Initialize the I2C address of the sensors | |
39 | * init: int | |
40 | (default is 1) | |
41 | Use 'init=0' to bypass initializing the chip. | |
42 | Try this if your computer crashes when you load the module. | |

44 | Description | |
45 | ----------- | |
46 | ||
47 | This driver implements support for ISA accesses *only* for | |
48 | the Winbond W83627HF, W83627THF, W83697HF and W83637HF Super I/O chips. | |
49 | We will refer to them collectively as Winbond chips. | |
50 | ||
51 | This driver supports ISA accesses, which should be more reliable | |
52 | than i2c accesses. Also, for Tyan boards which contain both a | |
53 | Super I/O chip and a second i2c-only Winbond chip (often a W83782D), | |
54 | using this driver will avoid i2c address conflicts and complex | |
55 | initialization that were required in the w83781d driver. | |
56 | ||
57 | If you really want i2c accesses for these Super I/O chips, | |
58 | use the w83781d driver. However this is not the preferred method | |
59 | now that this ISA driver has been developed. | |

61 | The w83627_HF_ uses pins 110-106 as VID0-VID4. The w83627_THF_ uses the |
62 | same pins as GPIO[0:4]. Technically, the w83627_THF_ does not support a | |
63 | VID reading. However the two chips have the identical 128 pin package. So, | |
64 | it is possible or even likely for a w83627thf to have the VID signals routed | |
65 | to these pins despite their not being labeled for that purpose. Therefore, | |
66 | the w83627thf driver interprets these as VID. If the VID on your board | |
67 | doesn't work, first see doc/vid in the lm_sensors package[1]. If that still | |
68 | doesn't help, you may just ignore the bogus VID reading with no harm done. | |
