Module Parameters
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* force_addr: int
|
|
Initialize the base address of the i2c controller
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The force_addr parameter is useful for boards that don't set the address in
|
|
the BIOS. Does not do a PCI force; the device must still be present in
|
|
lspci. Don't use this unless the driver complains that the base address is
|
|
not set.
|
|
|
|
Example: 'modprobe i2c-ali15x3 force_addr=0xe800'
|
|
|
|
SMBus periodically hangs on ASUS P5A motherboards and can only be cleared
|
|
by a power cycle. Cause unknown (see Issues below).

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This is the driver for the SMB Host controller on Acer Labs Inc. (ALI)
|
|
M1541 and M1543C South Bridges.
|
|
|
|
The M1543C is a South bridge for desktop systems.
|
|
The M1541 is a South bridge for portable systems.
|
|
They are part of the following ALI chipsets:
|
|
|
|
* "Aladdin Pro 2" includes the M1621 Slot 1 North bridge with AGP and
|
|
100MHz CPU Front Side bus
|
|
* "Aladdin V" includes the M1541 Socket 7 North bridge with AGP and 100MHz
|
|
CPU Front Side bus
|
|
Some Aladdin V motherboards:
|
|
Asus P5A
|
|
Atrend ATC-5220
|
|
BCM/GVC VP1541
|
|
Biostar M5ALA
|
|
Gigabyte GA-5AX (** Generally doesn't work because the BIOS doesn't
|
|
enable the 7101 device! **)
|
|
Iwill XA100 Plus
|
|
Micronics C200
|
|
Microstar (MSI) MS-5169
|
|
|
|
* "Aladdin IV" includes the M1541 Socket 7 North bridge
|
|
with host bus up to 83.3 MHz.
|
|
|
|
For an overview of these chips see http://www.acerlabs.com. At this time the
|
|
full data sheets on the web site are password protected, however if you
|
|
contact the ALI office in San Jose they may give you the password.
|
|
|
|
The M1533/M1543C devices appear as FOUR separate devices on the PCI bus. An
|
|
output of lspci will show something similar to the following:
|
|
|
|
00:02.0 USB Controller: Acer Laboratories Inc. M5237 (rev 03)
|
|
00:03.0 Bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. M7101 <= THIS IS THE ONE WE NEED
|
|
00:07.0 ISA bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. M1533 (rev c3)
|
|
00:0f.0 IDE interface: Acer Laboratories Inc. M5229 (rev c1)
|
|
|
|
** IMPORTANT **
|
|
** If you have a M1533 or M1543C on the board and you get
|
|
** "ali15x3: Error: Can't detect ali15x3!"
|
|
** then run lspci.
|
|
** If you see the 1533 and 5229 devices but NOT the 7101 device,
|
|
** then you must enable ACPI, the PMU, SMB, or something similar
|
|
** in the BIOS.
|
|
** The driver won't work if it can't find the M7101 device.
|
|
|
|
The SMB controller is part of the M7101 device, which is an ACPI-compliant
|
|
Power Management Unit (PMU).
|
|
|
|
The whole M7101 device has to be enabled for the SMB to work. You can't
|
|
just enable the SMB alone. The SMB and the ACPI have separate I/O spaces.
|
|
We make sure that the SMB is enabled. We leave the ACPI alone.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
This driver controls the SMB Host only. The SMB Slave
|
|
controller on the M15X3 is not enabled. This driver does not use
|
|
interrupts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Issues
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
This driver requests the I/O space for only the SMB
|
|
registers. It doesn't use the ACPI region.
|
|
|
|
On the ASUS P5A motherboard, there are several reports that
|
|
the SMBus will hang and this can only be resolved by
|
|
powering off the computer. It appears to be worse when the board
|
|
gets hot, for example under heavy CPU load, or in the summer.
|
|
There may be electrical problems on this board.
|
|
On the P5A, the W83781D sensor chip is on both the ISA and
|
|
SMBus. Therefore the SMBus hangs can generally be avoided
|
|
by accessing the W83781D on the ISA bus only.
