It can perform measurements and calculations in the +background to supply readings at any time. It includes a programmable +calibration multiplier to scale the displayed current and power values. + + +Sysfs entries +------------- + +The INA209 chip is highly configurable both via hardwiring and via +the I2C bus. See the datasheet for details. + +This tries to expose most monitoring features of the hardware via +sysfs.

Normally this is expected +to be done in the BIOS. In the absence of BIOS programming, the shunt resistor +voltage can be provided using platform data. The driver uses platform data from +the ina2xx driver for this purpose. If calibration register data is not provided +via platform data, the driver checks if the calibration register has been +programmed (ie has a value not equal to zero). If so, this value is retained. +Otherwise, a default value reflecting a shunt resistor value of 10 mOhm is +programmed into the calibration register. + + +Output Pins +----------- + +Output pin programming is a board feature which depends on the BIOS. It is +outside the scope of a hardware monitoring driver to enable or disable output +pins. |
