Also, for Tyan boards which contain both a +Super I/O chip and a second i2c-only Winbond chip (often a W83782D), +using this driver will avoid i2c address conflicts and complex +initialization that were required in the w83781d driver. + +If you really want i2c accesses for these Super I/O chips, +use the w83781d driver. However this is not the preferred method +now that this ISA driver has been developed. + +The w83627_HF_ uses pins 110-106 as VID0-VID4. The w83627_THF_ uses the +same pins as GPIO[0:4]. Technically, the w83627_THF_ does not support a +VID reading. However the two chips have the identical 128 pin package. So, +it is possible or even likely for a w83627thf to have the VID signals routed +to these pins despite their not being labeled for that purpose. Therefore, +the w83627thf driver interprets these as VID. If the VID on your board +doesn't work, first see doc/vid in the lm_sensors package[1]. If that still +doesn't help, you may just ignore the bogus VID reading with no harm done. + +For further information on this driver see the w83781d driver documentation. + +[1] http://www.lm-sensors.org/browser/lm-sensors/trunk/doc/vid + +Forcing the address +------------------- + +The driver used to have a module parameter named force_addr, which could +be used to force the base I/O address of the hardware monitoring block. +This was meant as a workaround for mainboards with a broken BIOS. This +module parameter is gone for technical reasons. If you need this feature, +you can obtain the same result by using the isaset tool (part of +lm-sensors) before loading the driver: + +# Enter the Super I/O config space +isaset -y -f 0x2e 0x87 +isaset -y -f 0x2e 0x87 + +# Select the hwmon logical device +isaset -y 0x2e 0x2f 0x07 0x0b + +# Set the base I/O address (to 0x290 in this example) +isaset -y 0x2e 0x2f 0x60 0x02 +isaset -y 0x2e 0x2f 0x61 0x90 + +# Exit the Super-I/O config space +isaset -y -f 0x2e 0xaa + +The above sequence assumes a Super-I/O config space at 0x2e/0x2f, but +0x4e/0x4f is also possible. + +Voltage pin mapping +------------------- + +Here is a summary of the voltage pin mapping for the W83627THF.
