Description

This driver supports hardware monitoring for various PMBus compliant devices. It supports voltage, current, power, and temperature sensors as supported by the device.

Each monitored channel has its own high and low limits, plus a critical limit.

Fan support will be added in a later version of this driver.

Usage Notes

This driver does not probe for PMBus devices, since there is no register which can be safely used to identify the chip (The MFG_ID register is not supported by all chips), and since there is no well defined address range for PMBus devices. You will have to instantiate the devices explicitly.

Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC2978 at address 0x60 on I2C bus #1:

$ modprobe pmbus
$ echo ltc2978 0x60 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device

Platform data support

Support for additional PMBus chips can be added by defining chip parameters in a new chip specific driver file. For example, (untested) code to add support for Emerson DS1200 power modules might look as follows:

static struct pmbus_driver_info ds1200_info = {
      .pages = 1,
      /* Note: All other sensors are in linear mode */
      .direct[PSC_VOLTAGE_OUT] = true,
      .direct[PSC_TEMPERATURE] = true,
      .direct[PSC_CURRENT_OUT] = true,
      .m[PSC_VOLTAGE_IN] = 1,
      .b[PSC_VOLTAGE_IN] = 0,
      .R[PSC_VOLTAGE_IN] = 3,
      .m[PSC_VOLTAGE_OUT] = 1,
      .b[PSC_VOLTAGE_OUT] = 0,
      .R[PSC_VOLTAGE_OUT] = 3,
      .m[PSC_TEMPERATURE] = 1,
      .b[PSC_TEMPERATURE] = 0,
      .R[PSC_TEMPERATURE] = 3,
      .func[0] = PMBUS_HAVE_VIN | PMBUS_HAVE_IIN | PMBUS_HAVE_STATUS_INPUT
                 | PMBUS_HAVE_VOUT | PMBUS_HAVE_STATUS_VOUT
                 | PMBUS_HAVE_IOUT | PMBUS_HAVE_STATUS_IOUT
                 | PMBUS_HAVE_PIN | PMBUS_HAVE_POUT
                 | PMBUS_HAVE_TEMP | PMBUS_HAVE_STATUS_TEMP
                 | PMBUS_HAVE_FAN12 | PMBUS_HAVE_STATUS_FAN12,
};

static int ds1200_probe(struct i2c_client *client)
{
      return pmbus_do_probe(client, &ds1200_info);
}

static const struct i2c_device_id ds1200_id[] = {
      {"ds1200", 0},
      {}
};

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, ds1200_id);

/* This is the driver that will be inserted */
static struct i2c_driver ds1200_driver = {
      .driver = {
                 .name = "ds1200",
                 },
      .probe_new = ds1200_probe,
      .id_table = ds1200_id,
};

static int __init ds1200_init(void)
{
      return i2c_add_driver(&ds1200_driver);
}

static void __exit ds1200_exit(void)
{
      i2c_del_driver(&ds1200_driver);
}

Sysfs entries

When probing the chip, the driver identifies which PMBus registers are supported, and determines available sensors from this information. Attribute files only exist if respective sensors are supported by the chip. Labels are provided to inform the user about the sensor associated with a given sysfs entry.

The following attributes are supported. Limits are read-write; all other attributes are read-only.

inX_input Measured voltage. From READ_VIN or READ_VOUT register.
inX_min Minimum Voltage. From VIN_UV_WARN_LIMIT or VOUT_UV_WARN_LIMIT register.
inX_max Maximum voltage. From VIN_OV_WARN_LIMIT or VOUT_OV_WARN_LIMIT register.
inX_lcrit Critical minimum Voltage. From VIN_UV_FAULT_LIMIT or VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT register.
