  28Module Parameters
  29-----------------
  30
  31* force_i2c: int
  32  Initialize the I2C address of the sensors
  33* init: int
  34  (default is 1)
  35  Use 'init=0' to bypass initializing the chip.
  36  Try this if your computer crashes when you load the module.

  38Description
  39-----------
  40
  41This driver implements support for ISA accesses *only* for
  42the Winbond W83627HF, W83627THF, W83697HF and W83637HF Super I/O chips.
  43We will refer to them collectively as Winbond chips.
  44
  45This driver supports ISA accesses, which should be more reliable
  46than i2c accesses. Also, for Tyan boards which contain both a
  47Super I/O chip and a second i2c-only Winbond chip (often a W83782D),
  48using this driver will avoid i2c address conflicts and complex
  49initialization that were required in the w83781d driver.
  50
  51If you really want i2c accesses for these Super I/O chips,
  52use the w83781d driver. However this is not the preferred method
  53now that this ISA driver has been developed.
  54
  55The `w83627_HF_` uses pins 110-106 as VID0-VID4. The `w83627_THF_` uses the
  56same pins as GPIO[0:4]. Technically, the `w83627_THF_` does not support a
  57VID reading. However the two chips have the identical 128 pin package. So,
  58it is possible or even likely for a w83627thf to have the VID signals routed
  59to these pins despite their not being labeled for that purpose. Therefore,
  60the w83627thf driver interprets these as VID. If the VID on your board
  61doesn't work, first see doc/vid in the lm_sensors package[1]. If that still
  62doesn't help, you may just ignore the bogus VID reading with no harm done.
  63
  64For further information on this driver see the w83781d driver documentation.

  68Forcing the address
  69-------------------
  70
  71The driver used to have a module parameter named force_addr, which could
  72be used to force the base I/O address of the hardware monitoring block.
  73This was meant as a workaround for mainboards with a broken BIOS. This
  74module parameter is gone for technical reasons. If you need this feature,
  75you can obtain the same result by using the isaset tool (part of
  76lm-sensors) before loading the driver:
  77
  78# Enter the Super I/O config space::
  79
  80        isaset -y -f 0x2e 0x87
  81        isaset -y -f 0x2e 0x87
  82
  83# Select the hwmon logical device::
  84
  85        isaset -y 0x2e 0x2f 0x07 0x0b
  86
  87# Set the base I/O address (to 0x290 in this example)::
  88
  89        isaset -y 0x2e 0x2f 0x60 0x02
  90        isaset -y 0x2e 0x2f 0x61 0x90
  91
  92# Exit the Super-I/O config space::
  93
  94        isaset -y -f 0x2e 0xaa
  95
  96The above sequence assumes a Super-I/O config space at 0x2e/0x2f, but
  970x4e/0x4f is also possible.

 102Here is a summary of the voltage pin mapping for the W83627THF. This
 103can be useful to convert data provided by board manufacturers into
 104working libsensors configuration statements:

 122For other supported devices, you'll have to take the hard path and
 123look up the information in the datasheet yourself (and then add it
 124to this document please.)
