DESCRIPTION
The
lm driver provides support for the National Semiconductor
LM series hardware monitors and register compatible chips to be used with the
envsys(4) API.
The original LM78 hardware monitor supports 11 sensors:

For other devices, sensors' names and numbers will be different.
Due to hardware limitations, fresh sensor data is only available every 2
seconds.
HARDWARE
Chips supported by the
lm driver include:
- National Semiconductor LM78,
LM78-J, LM79, and
LM81.
- Nuvoton NCT5104D,
NCT6775F, NCT6776F,
NCT6102D, NCT6104D,
NCT6106D, NCT6779D and
NCT679[12356789]D.
- Winbond W83627HF*,
W83627THF*, W83627EHF*,
W83627DHG*, W83637HF*,
W83697HF*, W83781D,
W83782D*, W83783S*,
W83791D*, W83791SD, and
W83792D.
- ASUS AS99127F.
For most of the Winbond chips (identified with a * above), the
flags configuration option can be specified to select the
type of temperature sensor:
flags |
Sensor Type |
0 |
Thermistor diode (Power-On default) |
1 |
Pentium-II diode |
2 |
2N3904 Bipolar |
4 |
Thermistor diode |

HISTORY
The
lm device appeared in
NetBSD 1.5.
CAVEATS
Some vendors connect these chips to non-standard thermal diodes and resistors.
This will result in bogus sensor values.
BUGS
Interrupt support is unimplemented.
There are currently no known pnpbios IDs assigned to LM chips.
