Description¶
This driver implements support for the Maxim MAX1668, MAX1805 and MAX1989 chips.
The three devices are very similar, but the MAX1805 has a reduced feature set; only two remote temperature inputs vs the four available on the other two ICs.
The driver is able to distinguish between the devices and creates sysfs entries as follows:
MAX1805, MAX1668 and MAX1989:
temp1_input |
ro |
local (ambient) temperature |
temp1_max |
rw |
local temperature maximum threshold for alarm |
temp1_max_alarm |
ro |
local temperature maximum threshold alarm |
temp1_min |
rw |
local temperature minimum threshold for alarm |
temp1_min_alarm |
ro |
local temperature minimum threshold alarm |
temp2_input |
ro |
remote temperature 1 |
temp2_max |
rw |
remote temperature 1 maximum threshold for alarm |
temp2_max_alarm |
ro |
remote temperature 1 maximum threshold alarm |
temp2_min |
rw |
remote temperature 1 minimum threshold for alarm |
temp2_min_alarm |
ro |
remote temperature 1 minimum threshold alarm |
temp3_input |
ro |
remote temperature 2 |
temp3_max |
rw |
remote temperature 2 maximum threshold for alarm |
temp3_max_alarm |
ro |
remote temperature 2 maximum threshold alarm |
temp3_min |
rw |
remote temperature 2 minimum threshold for alarm |
temp3_min_alarm |
ro |
remote temperature 2 minimum threshold alarm |
MAX1668 and MAX1989 only:
temp4_input |
ro |
remote temperature 3 |
temp4_max |
rw |
remote temperature 3 maximum threshold for alarm |
temp4_max_alarm |
ro |
remote temperature 3 maximum threshold alarm |
temp4_min |
rw |
remote temperature 3 minimum threshold for alarm |
temp4_min_alarm |
ro |
remote temperature 3 minimum threshold alarm |
temp5_input |
ro |
remote temperature 4 |
temp5_max |
rw |
remote temperature 4 maximum threshold for alarm |
temp5_max_alarm |
ro |
remote temperature 4 maximum threshold alarm |
temp5_min |
rw |
remote temperature 4 minimum threshold for alarm |
temp5_min_alarm |
ro |
remote temperature 4 minimum threshold alarm |
Module Parameters¶
read_only: int Set to non-zero if you wish to prevent write access to alarm thresholds.
