20Description
21-----------
22
23This driver implements support for the hardware monitoring capabilities of the
24embedded into Baikal-T1 process, voltage and temperature sensors. PVT IP-core
25consists of one temperature and four voltage sensors, which can be used to
26monitor the chip internal environment like heating, supply voltage and
27transistors performance. The driver can optionally provide the hwmon alarms
28for each sensor the PVT controller supports. The alarms functionality is made
29compile-time configurable due to the hardware interface implementation
30peculiarity, which is connected with an ability to convert data from only one
31sensor at a time. Additional limitation is that the controller performs the
32thresholds checking synchronously with the data conversion procedure. Due to
33these in order to have the hwmon alarms automatically detected the driver code
34must switch from one sensor to another, read converted data and manually check
35the threshold status bits. Depending on the measurements timeout settings
36(update_interval sysfs node value) this design may cause additional burden on
37the system performance. So in case if alarms are unnecessary in your system
38design it's recommended to have them disabled to prevent the PVT IRQs being
39periodically raised to get the data cache/alarms status up to date. By default
40in alarm-less configuration the data conversion is performed by the driver
41on demand when read operation is requested via corresponding _input-file.

43Temperature Monitoring
44----------------------
45
46Temperature is measured with 10-bit resolution and reported in millidegree
47Celsius. The driver performs all the scaling by itself therefore reports true
48temperatures that don't need any user-space adjustments. While the data
49translation formulae isn't linear, which gives us non-linear discreteness,
50it's close to one, but giving a bit better accuracy for higher temperatures.
51The temperature input is mapped as follows (the last column indicates the input
52ranges)::
53
54 temp1: CPU embedded diode -48.38C - +147.438C
55
56In case if the alarms kernel config is enabled in the driver the temperature input
57has associated min and max limits which trigger an alarm when crossed.
58
59Voltage Monitoring
60------------------
61
62The voltage inputs are also sampled with 10-bit resolution and reported in
63millivolts. But in this case the data translation formulae is linear, which
64provides a constant measurements discreteness. The data scaling is also
65performed by the driver, so returning true millivolts. The voltage inputs are
66mapped as follows (the last column indicates the input ranges)::
67
68 in0: VDD (processor core) 0.62V - 1.168V
69 in1: Low-Vt (low voltage threshold) 0.62V - 1.168V
70 in2: High-Vt (high voltage threshold) 0.62V - 1.168V
71 in3: Standard-Vt (standard voltage threshold) 0.62V - 1.168V
72
73In case if the alarms config is enabled in the driver the voltage inputs
74have associated min and max limits which trigger an alarm when crossed.
