ACPI_AIBOOST(4)		    Kernel Interfaces Manual	       ACPI_AIBOOST(4)

NAME
       acpi_aiboost -- ASUS AI Booster hardware	monitor

SYNOPSIS
       To  compile  this  driver  into the kernel, place the following line in
       your kernel configuration file:

	     device acpi_aiboost

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at	boot time,  place  the
       following line in loader.conf(5):

	     acpi_aiboost_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
       The  acpi_aiboost  driver  provides support for monitoring the hardware
       sensors in recent ASUS motherboards.  The driver	uses ACPI as the back-
       end to fetch sensor values and descriptions and provides	its  data  via
       the  sysctl(8) interface, under dev.acpi_aiboost.0 namespace.  Descrip-
       tions for these values are available with sysctl	-d.

       The acpi_aiboost	driver typically has 7 sensors,	depending on the moth-
       erboard 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 acpi_aiboost	driver first appeared in FreeBSD 7.0.

AUTHORS
       The acpi_aiboost	driver was written by Takanori Watanabe.  This	manual
       page  was  written  by  Juan  Romero Pardines, who adapted the code for
       NetBSD, and adopted back	to FreeBSD by Takanori Watanabe.

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 an-
       other 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).
