NAME
viapm – VIA SMBus controller and VIA VT82C686A/VT8231 hardware monitor
SYNOPSIS
viapm* at pci? iic* at viapm?
DESCRIPTION
The viapm driver provides support for the bus control and power management component of the VIA VT82C596, VT82C596B, VT82C686A, VT8231, VT8233, VT8233A, VT8235, VT8237, VT8237A, VT8237S, VT8251, CX700, VX800, VX855 and VX900 South Bridges. Only the SMBus host interface is supported and can be used with the iic(4) framework.
The viapm driver provides support for the hardware monitor in the VIA VT82C686A and VT8231 South Bridges. The hardware monitor is used with the sysctl(8) interface.
The device has 10 sensors:
| Sensor | Units | Typical Use |
| TSENS1 | uK | CPU temperature |
| TSENS2 | uK | System temperature |
| TSENS3 | uK | Unknown |
| FAN1 | RPM | CPU fan |
| FAN2 | RPM | System fan |
| VSENS1 | uV DC | CPU core voltage (2.0V) |
| VSENS2 | uV DC | North Bridge core voltage (2.5V) |
| Vcore | uV DC | Internal core voltage (3.3V) |
| VSENS3 | uV DC | +5V |
| VSENS4 | uV DC | +12V |
Sensor data is updated every 1.5 seconds.

The viaenv driver was written by Johan Danielsson and ported to OpenBSD 3.4 by Alexander Yurchenko ⟨[email protected]⟩. It was merged with viapm in OpenBSD 5.0.
BUGS
The driver doesn't support commands with a data buffer size of more than 2 bytes.
Interrupt support is unimplemented, as is support for setting values.
