Hello Albert,

Hmm strange.

Temperature Monitoring
    The Super I/O controller (W83627HF) performs the temperature monitoring
function and has inputs
    directly from two thermistors on the board. One thermistor is located near
the CPU and the other
    thermistor is located near the I/O Hub (Southbridge).
     NOTE               The ReadyBoard 800 requires a heatsink for all
                        processors, but no fan.

Maybe they just forgotten it to activate ....

Enter configuration mode

isaset -y -f 0x2e 0x87
isaset -y -f 0x2e 0x87

select logical device 0xb - hw monitor
isaset -y 0x2e 0x2f 0x07 0xb

select base addr: (assuming 0x290 is safe, check /proc/ioports and see if the
0x290 - 0x29F is empty)

isaset -y 0x2e 0x2f 0x61 0x90
isaset -y 0x2e 0x2f 0x60 0x2

activate it:
isaset -y 0x2e 0x2f 0x30 0x1

Leave configuration mode
isaset -y -f 0x2e 0xaa


Now the modprobe or sensors-detect should work.

You will need to do this reprogramming every boot. If it works, please complain
to them so they will fix their BIOS.

Let me know if it works for you ;)

Rudolf

The address ranges are open

Seems to me that it is not there at all.

I'm sending an email to Ampro to find out what is going on here. I'll
let you know as soon as I have more info from them.

Thanks for your help.

This errors are normal. Ignore them.

Well this sequence just reprograms the chip. After that you should be able to
modprobe the module, and sensors-detect should find it active.

(unless I made some mistake)

Can you re-run the sequence, and run this:
isaset -y -f 0x2e 0x87
isaset -y -f 0x2e 0x87
isaset -y 0x2e 0x2f 0x07 0xb
isadump -y 0x2e 0x2f
isaset -y -f 0x2e 0xaa

Thanks,
Regards

It seems that I was too hasty in replying. I ran sensors-detect again
and it did detect the chip.

Vcore1 is wrong. There might be some scaling resistors, only the company knows
which. You should ask them what resitors were used for scaling -> what scaling
factor each input has.

(you may edit /etc/sensors.conf)  check the files for hints.

You may use "ignore" statements to ignore selected voltages. (or check some
voltage formulas there, if you need more help with this you will need to know
what are the scaleling factors anyway)

As for the FANs maybe they are unconnected, maybe they need to change the divisor.

Put in correct configuration section of /etc/sensors.conf this:

set fan1_div 8
set fan2_div 8
set fan3_div 8

Save it, run sensors -s
to "apply" the changes.

Then run sensors again to see if FAN is non-zero

As for the temps. The manual says there are two temps, thermistor sensors. Temp1
and Temp2 seems that are connected. You may change the limits in
/etc/sensors.conf (hysteresis limit and max limit)

You welcome.

I hope it helps.
