AIBOOST(4)              NetBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual             AIBOOST(4)


NAME

     aiboost -- ASUS AI Booster hardware monitor


SYNOPSIS

     aiboost* at acpi?


DESCRIPTION

     The aiboost driver provides support for monitoring the hardware sensors
     in recent ASUS motherboards.  The driver uses ACPI as the backend to
     fetch sensor values and descriptions and provides its data via the
     envsys(4) interface.

     The aiboost driver typically has 7 sensors, depending on the motherboard
     and chipset:

           Sensor    Units    Typical Use
           CPU       uK       CPU Temperature
           MB        uK       MB Temperature
           VCC       uV DC    Core Voltage
           +3.3V     uV DC    +3.3 Voltage
           +5V       uV DC    +5 Voltage
           +12V      uV DC    +12 Voltage
           CPU       RPM      CPU Fan

HISTORY

     The aiboost driver first appeared in FreeBSD and then it was ported to
     NetBSD 5.0.


AUTHORS

     The aiboost driver was written by Takanori Watanabe and Juan Romero
     Pardines, who adapted the code for NetBSD.


BUGS

     It's possible to modify voltages via the ACPI methods in the DSDT, but
     for now the driver only reports the sensors' values.  CPU Q-Fan is
     another thing that is typically specified in the ACPI namespace, and in
     the future we should handle this feature (to enable or disable auto-
     matic/manual fan mode).
