| SMSC SCH5636 Super I/O chips include an embedded microcontroller for |
| hardware monitoring solutions, allowing motherboard manufacturers to create |
| their own custom hwmon solution based upon the SCH5636. |
| Currently the sch5636 driver only supports the Fujitsu Theseus SCH5636 based |
| hwmon solution. The sch5636 driver runs a sanity check on loading to ensure |
| it is dealing with a Fujitsu Theseus and not with another custom SCH5636 based |
| The Fujitsu Theseus can monitor up to 5 voltages, 8 fans and 16 |
| temperatures. Note that the driver detects how many fan headers / |
| temperature sensors are actually implemented on the motherboard, so you will |
| likely see fewer temperature and fan inputs. |
| The Fujitsu Theseus hwmon solution also contains an integrated watchdog. |
| This watchdog is fully supported by the sch5636 driver. |
| An application note describing the Theseus' registers, as well as an |
| application note describing the protocol for communicating with the |
| microcontroller is available upon request. Please mail me if you want a copy. |
