  9. Description
  10. -----------
  11. SMSC SCH5627 Super I/O chips include complete hardware monitoring
  12. capabilities. They can monitor up to 5 voltages, 4 fans and 8 temperatures.
  13. The SMSC SCH5627 hardware monitoring part also contains an integrated
  14. watchdog. In order for this watchdog to function some motherboard specific
  15. initialization most be done by the BIOS, so if the watchdog is not enabled
  16. by the BIOS the sch5627 driver will not register a watchdog device.
  17. The hardware monitoring part of the SMSC SCH5627 is accessed by talking
  18. through an embedded microcontroller. An application note describing the
  19. protocol for communicating with the microcontroller is available upon
  20. request. Please mail me if you want a copy.
