Kernel driver intel-m10-bmc-hwmon¶

Supported chips:

Intel MAX 10 BMC for Intel PAC N3000

Prefix: ‘n3000bmc-hwmon’

Description¶

This driver adds the temperature, voltage, current and power reading support for the Intel MAX 10 Board Management Controller (BMC) chip. The BMC chip is integrated in some Intel Programmable Acceleration Cards (PAC). It connects to a set of sensor chips to monitor the sensor data of different components on the board. The BMC firmware is responsible for sensor data sampling and recording in shared registers. The host driver reads the sensor data from these shared registers and exposes them to users as hwmon interfaces.

The BMC chip is implemented using the Intel MAX 10 CPLD. It could be reprogramed to some variants in order to support different Intel PACs. The driver is designed to be able to distinguish between the variants, but now it only supports the BMC for Intel PAC N3000.
