We don't play with it anyway.27 28Authors:29 - Chen-Yuan Wu <gwu@esoft.com>,30 - Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>31 32Description33-----------34 35(This is from Analog Devices.) The ADM1025 is a complete system hardware36monitor for microprocessor-based systems, providing measurement and limit37comparison of various system parameters. Five voltage measurement inputs38are provided, for monitoring +2.5V, +3.3V, +5V and +12V power supplies and39the processor core voltage. The ADM1025 can monitor a sixth power-supply40voltage by measuring its own VCC. One input (two pins) is dedicated to a41remote temperature-sensing diode and an on-chip temperature sensor allows42ambient temperature to be monitored.43 44One specificity of this chip is that the pin 11 can be hardwired in two45different manners. It can act as the +12V power-supply voltage analog46input, or as the a fifth digital entry for the VID reading (bit 4). It's47kind of strange since both are useful, and the reason for designing the48chip that way is obscure at least to me. The bit 5 of the configuration49register can be used to define how the chip is hardwired. Please note that50it is not a choice you have to make as the user. The choice was already51made by your motherboard's maker. If the configuration bit isn't set52properly, you'll have a wrong +12V reading or a wrong VID reading. The way53the driver handles that is to preserve this bit through the initialization54process, assuming that the BIOS set it up properly beforehand. If it turns55out not to be true in some cases, we'll provide a module parameter to force56modes.57 58This driver also supports the ADM1025A, which differs from the ADM102559only in that it has "open-drain VID inputs while the ADM1025 has on-chip60100k pull-ups on the VID inputs". It doesn't make any difference for us.61
