| Kernel driver abituguru |
| ======================= |
| |
| Supported chips: |
| * Abit uGuru (Hardware Monitor part only) |
| Prefix: 'abituguru' |
| Addresses scanned: ISA 0x0E0 |
| Datasheet: Not available, this driver is based on reverse engineering. |
| A "Datasheet" has been written based on the reverse engineering it |
| should be available in the same dir as this file under the name |
| abituguru-datasheet. |

| Module Parameters |
| ----------------- |
| |
| * force: bool Force detection. Note this parameter only causes the |
| detection to be skipped, if the uGuru can't be read |
| the module initialization (insmod) will still fail. |
| * fan_sensors: int Tell the driver how many fan speed sensors there are |
| on your motherboard. Default: 0 (autodetect). |
| * pwms: int Tell the driver how many fan speed controls (fan |
| pwms) your motherboard has. Default: 0 (autodetect). |
| * verbose: int How verbose should the driver be? (0-3): |
| 0 normal output |
| 1 + verbose error reporting |
| 2 + sensors type probing info\n" |
| 3 + retryable error reporting |
| Default: 2 (the driver is still in the testing phase) |
| |
| Notice if you need any of the first three options above please insmod the |
| driver with verbose set to 3 and mail me <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl> the output of: |
| dmesg | grep abituguru |

| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| This driver supports the hardware monitoring features of the Abit uGuru chip |
| found on Abit uGuru featuring motherboards (most modern Abit motherboards). |
| |
| The uGuru chip in reality is a Winbond W83L950D in disguise (despite Abit |
| claiming it is "a new microprocessor designed by the ABIT Engineers"). |
| Unfortunatly this doesn't help since the W83L950D is a generic |
| microcontroller with a custom Abit application running on it. |
| |
| Despite Abit not releasing any information regarding the uGuru, Olle |
| Sandberg <ollebull@gmail.com> has managed to reverse engineer the sensor part |
| of the uGuru. Without his work this driver would not have been possible. |
| |
| Known Issues |
| ------------ |
| |
| The voltage and frequency control parts of the Abit uGuru are not supported. |
