1 Kernel driver `mtp008.o'
2 =========================
3
4 Status: Complete; Beta.
5         This chip is quite configurable and many settings cannot
6         be done through the driver. Hopefully the BIOS settings will
7         be correct for most motherboards.

19 -----------
20
21 The Myson MTP008 is similar in function to the Winbond W83781D and the
22 National Semi LM78. See documentation for those chips for an overview.
23
24
25 The MTP008 chip has several pins that are configurable.
26
27 The three temperature sensors are configurable via the driver
28 using either the /proc entries or 'set sensorx y' statements in
29 /etc/sensors.conf.
30 One temperature input is always temp1, and the sensor type is configured
31 with the sensor1 entry in /proc.
32 One input is either in4 or temp2, and is configured with the sensor2 entry.
33 One input is either in5 or temp3, and is configured with the sensor3 entry.
34
35 For example, on the Tyan S1824D motherboard,
36 AIN4 is configured as PII temp sensor 2 and
37 AIN5 is hooked up to the -12V sensing circuit.
38
39 Other Tyan motherboards (the 2510 Thunder and the Tiger 200) appear to
40 have different configurations.
41
42 For the 2510, which has two MTP008 chips, each with a different
43 configuration, follow the instructions in the mtp008 section of
44 etc/sensors.conf.eg to configure 'sensors' correctly.
45
46 The PWM outputs are configurable via the driver.
47 PWM values are from 0 to 255. The first value in the /proc entry is
48 the pwm value; the second is the enable (0 or 1).
49
50 The fan3 and pwm1 functions share a pin.
51 If pwm1 is enabled than fan3 will read as 0.
52
53 The Fan input types (2 wire or 3 wire) are configurable but
54 not via the driver.
55
56 The driver now preserves pin settings that the BIOS configures.
57 If your BIOS did it right then the driver should work great.
58
59 The MTP008 has sensor type selection in /proc like the Winbond W83782D.
60 However, the appropriate values used to make the selection are different.
61
62 To select a sensor type, echo the value to the /proc entry, for example:
63         echo 1 > /proc/sys/dev/sensors/mtp008-i2c-0-2d/sensor1
64 Or, use /etc/sensors.conf and add a line 'set sensor1 1', for example.
65 Hopefully the BIOS has set these already.
66
67 Sensor selection is as follows:
68
69       Value     Function                                        Valid on sensors
70       -----     --------                                        ----------------
71         1       Analog input (not for temperature sensing)      2,3
72         2       Thermistor                                      1,2,3
73         3       Pentium diode                                   1,2
