Recent Xeon processor thermal sensors are supported by the coretemp driver and not the adm1021 driver. Only one old generation of Xeon processors (the first Netburst ones) are supported by the adm1021 driver.

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The chips supported by this driver are very similar. The Maxim MAX1617 is
|
|
the oldest; it has the problem that it is not very well detectable. The
|
|
MAX1617A solves that. The ADM1021 is a straight clone of the MAX1617A.
|
|
Ditto for the THMC10. From here on, we will refer to all these chips as
|
|
ADM1021-clones.
|
|
|
|
The ADM1021 and MAX1617A reports a die code, which is a sort of revision
|
|
code. This can help us pinpoint problems; it is not very useful
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
|
|
ADM1021-clones implement two temperature sensors. One of them is internal,
|
|
and measures the temperature of the chip itself; the other is external and
|
|
is realised in the form of a transistor-like device. A special alarm
|
|
indicates whether the remote sensor is connected.
|
|
|
|
Each sensor has its own low and high limits. When they are crossed, the
|
|
corresponding alarm is set and remains on as long as the temperature stays
|
|
out of range. Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. Measurements
|
|
are possible between -65 and +127 degrees, with a resolution of one degree.
|
|
|
|
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
|
|
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
|
|
have disappeared!
|
|
|
|
This driver only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
|
|
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. It is possible to make
|
|
ADM1021-clones do faster measurements, but there is really no good reason
|
|
for that.
|
|

Netburst-based Xeon support
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Some Xeon processors based on the Netburst (early Pentium 4, from 2001 to
|
|
2003) microarchitecture had real MAX1617, ADM1021, or compatible chips
|
|
within them, with two temperature sensors. Other Xeon processors of this
|
|
era (with 400 MHz FSB) had chips with only one temperature sensor.
|
|
|
|
If you have such an old Xeon, and you get two valid temperatures when
|
|
loading the adm1021 module, then things are good.
|
|
|
|
If nothing happens when loading the adm1021 module, and you are certain
|
|
that your specific Xeon processor model includes compatible sensors, you
|
|
will have to explicitly instantiate the sensor chips from user-space. See
|
|
method 4 in Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices. Possible slave
|
|
addresses are 0x18, 0x1a, 0x29, 0x2b, 0x4c, or 0x4e. It is likely that
|
|
only temp2 will be correct and temp1 will have to be ignored.
|
|
|
|
Previous generations of the Xeon processor (based on Pentium II/III)
|
|
didn't have these sensors. Next generations of Xeon processors (533 MHz
|
|
FSB and faster) lost them, until the Core-based generation which
|
|
introduced integrated digital thermal sensors. These are supported by
|
|
the coretemp driver.
