I have inited the hw sensors in LinuxBIOS for s2881. So you could use
lmsensor to check the FAN speed. The config file is on Tyan web.
For the Fan control, there should more some reg setting...to reduce the
FAN speed winbond and adm1027...

Yes; that's what I did today, it works well. I can even set the FAN speed.
Thanks for doing that!

setting...to reduce the

Any idea how hard that will be/how long it will take? So you're saying that
would activate the automatic fan speed control?
Thanks,
Ward.

An update on this.
As I reported earlier, setting fan speed works fine from LinuxBIOS. But it
seems this is only the case until I unplug the power from the machine.
When the machine is newly powered in, I need to boot up the proprietary bios
first to be able to _set_ the fan speed.
Once I've done that, I can reboot into LinuxBIOS, and set the speed just fine
using
/sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lm85/0-002d/pwm1
for instance like this:
echo '60' > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lm85/0-002d/pwm1
See attached set_fan_speed_ok.txt for a typical output.
I can shut the machine down, do a cold boot into LinuxBIOS, and it still
works.
Until I unplug the power to the machine, that is.
After that, I can still read out everything (see attached
set_fan_speed_bad.txt) correctly, but now also _set_ the fan speed.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Ward.

I'm sorry this is confusing. After unplugging and replugging the power to the
machine, I need to boot the proprietary BIOS once to be able to set the fan
speed on any consecutive (cold) boot.

A followup on this. First of all, I didn't realize that the PCI configuration
space is dynamic - things change all the time.
Secondly;
0000:01:04.3 Bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]
AMD-8111 ACPI (rev 05)
... snip ...
-f0: 19 5f 3b 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
+f0: c3 ad 1e 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
As it turns out, those three bytes change constantly, so I guess they are not
significant.
Also, I missed one byte that IS consistently different after a boot with the
proprietary BIOS:
0000:01:04.3 Bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 ACPI (rev 05)
...
-40: 80 f1 00 04 00 00 00 00 20 14 50 00 00 00 00 00
+40: 80 f1 00 07 00 00 00 00 20 14 50 00 00 00 00 00
How would I go about changing that byte during the LinuxBIOS boot? Do I need
to edit resourcemap.c in src/mainboard/tyan/s2881?

Looking at the datasheet of the 8111 this was a blind shot in the wrong
direction.
The bits 0:2 in this register are:
PPSTATE. Previous power state. Read-only. This field holds the most
previous power state from which the system came into the FON state. This
field resides on the VDD_COREX plane. Here are the possible states:
PPSTATE Power state
0h Reserved
1h POS power on suspend
2h C2
3h C3
4h MOFF mechanical off
5h STR suspend to RAM
6h STD suspend to disk
7h SOFF soft off
So LinuxBIOS reports mechanical off while factory bios reports soft off.
Interesting.
But I found some stuff that is worth following. Fans are controlled by
the IO mapped power management registers (PMxx) of the 8111. They are
called System Management I/O Mapped Registers in the specs on pages
218 et sqq.
The base of the PMxx registers can be read from DevB:3x58 (32bit)
bits 15:8. (ie. pmbase=pci_read_dword(acpi_dev, 0x58) & 0xff00;)
See the aruma acpi code for more information.
Iirc PMbase is 0xDD00 per default. So PM12 would require inb/outb to
0xdd12.
Also, there's GPIOs connected with FAN control: (pg 244 et sqq)
GPIO9 PMC9 FANCON1 08h (FANCON1 output) 1Xb N/A
GPIO10 PMCA FANRPM 08h (FANRPM input) 1Xb direct
And on the SMBus you have the following registers:
Fan Control Register PMF8 (Sounds like this belongs to the PMxx
registers)
Ok, now we need to glue this all together so that it works.

New subject: [LinuxBIOS] some more tyan/s2881 questions
Hi YH,
Have you made any progress on this? Not being able to control the fans is the
last thing that is stopping us from deploying LinuxBIOS. I'm worried that the
fans will wear out because they come on at full speed after boot, and I can't
control them under LinuxBIOS (except if I boot the proprietary BIOS once, and
then don't unplug the power to the machine before booting in LinuxBIOS).
Any help would be _greatly_ appreciated...
Thanks,
Ward.
