ALI 1533 and 1543C (south bridge) - Datasheet: Now under NDA - http://www.ali.com.tw/ - -Authors: - Frodo Looijaard <frodol@dds.nl>, - Philip Edelbrock <phil@netroedge.com>, - Mark D. Studebaker <mdsxyz123@yahoo.com> - -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. - |
