Crosshair VI Hero WiFi AC (X370) Support

[darcagn]

board_name: ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO (WI-FI AC)
mutex name: \AMW0.ASMX (same as others)

This board is being used in an Ubuntu LTS server with an older 5.4 kernel -- it was unable to compile at first because linux/dev_printk.h and linux/units.h weren't found. I removed the includes for those two header files and it seems to compile and work just fine, but I am unsure if functionality has been affected.

These sensors work just fine and match the same output from asus-wmi-sensors:
SENSOR_SET_TEMP_CHIPSET_CPU_MB | SENSOR_TEMP_T_SENSOR | SENSOR_CURR_CPU

SENSOR_FAN_CPU_OPT_X470 is the same situation as the X470 board, CPU_OPT is at 0x00bc (in place of Water_Flow for 500-series).

I plugged in fans/probes to the other sensor connectors and could not get a reading from any other sensor, including CPU voltage. I didn't get to poke around the registers with this board though, so there may be other undiscovered sensors exposed in the EC.

I have attached the DSDT file for this board if it helps.

{
	If ((Acquire (_GL, 0x03E8) == Zero))
	{
		WECB (Zero)
		Local0 = REC1 (0x90)
		Local1 = REC1 (0x91)
		Local0 = ((Local0 << 0x08) | Local1)
		Local0 *= 0x0C35
		NU19 = Local0
		Local0 = REC1 (0x3A)
		NU20 = Local0
		Local0 = REC1 (0x3D)
		NU21 = Local0
		Local0 = REC1 (0x3E)
		NU22 = Local0
		Local0 = REC1 (0xF4)
		NU23 = Local0
		Local0 = REC1 (0xBC)
		Local1 = REC1 (0xBD)
		Local0 = ((Local0 << 0x08) | Local1)
		NU24 = Local0
		Local0 = REC2 (One, 0x0D)
		NU25 = Local0
		Local0 = REC2 (One, 0x0B)

Now, what does REC2() do?

[darcagn]

Recompiling and testing with these new values:

• SB 1.05V Voltage shows up, but it's only showing about 338mV when asus-wmi-sensors shows 1.06V. I don't know what the *=0x0C35 means, though.
• Chipset Temp, Tsensor 1 Temp, CPU VRM Temp, CPU VRM Current, and CPU OPT values are working properly and agree with asus-wmi-sensors.
• The three sensors showing REC2 don't work, I guess something else has to be changed.

Now, what does REC2() do?

Here is its code:

Method (REC2, 2, Serialized)
{
    IBFY ()
    EC6C = 0x91
    IBFY ()
    EC68 = 0xFF
    IBFY ()
    EC68 = Arg0
    IBFY ()
    EC6C = 0x90
    IBFY ()
    EC68 = Arg1
    OBFY ()
    Local0 = EC68 /* \AMW0.EC68 */
    Return (Local0)
}

Looks like it reads from a EC controller via ports 0x68 and 0x6c, but what are constants 0x91 and 0x90 for?

• SB 1.05V Voltage shows up, but it's only showing about 338mV when asus-wmi-sensors shows 1.06V. I don't know what the *=0x0C35 means, though.

I guess it is a conversion factor to volts. 0x0C35 (=3125) * 0.338 = 1.056, which is pretty close to 1.06.

• Chipset Temp, Tsensor 1 Temp, CPU VRM Temp, CPU VRM Current, and CPU OPT values are working properly and agree with asus-wmi-sensors.

Great!

• The three sensors showing REC2 don't work, I guess something else has to be changed.

They need to be read via other EC ports (see REC2() above).

I guess it is a conversion factor to volts. 0x0C35 (=3125) * 0.338 = 1.056, which is pretty close to 1.06.

Sorry, to µV, of course: 3125 * 338 * 1e-6 = 1.05625
