NAME¶
asem - driver for UPS in ASEM PB1300
NOTE¶
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the asem driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).
SUPPORTED HARDWARE¶
The asem driver supports the UPS in ASEM PB1300 embedded PCs. Likely other I2C devices from the same manufacturer will work too, since this is a "custom" charger.
Seems that there are two versions of the charger. Older one is based on Max1667, newer one is a custom solution. Both are on I2C address 0x09. To be compatible with both versions, the driver just reads bit 15 of address 0x13 which yields online/on battery status. Battery monitor is a BQ2060 at address 0x0B.
EXTRA ARGUMENTS¶
The required parameter for this driver is the I2C bus name:
port=dev-node
This driver also supports the following optional settings:
lb=num
hb=num
INSTALLATION¶
This driver is specific to the Linux I2C API, and requires the lm_sensors libi2c-dev or its equivalent to compile.
Beware that the SystemIO memory used by the I2C controller is reserved by ACPI. If only a native I2C driver (e.g. i2c_i801, as of 3.5.X Linux kernels) is available, then you’ll need to relax the ACPI resources check. For example, you can boot with the acpi_enforce_resources=lax option.
KNOWN ISSUES AND BUGS¶
The driver shutdown function is not implemented, so other arrangements must be made to turn off the UPS.
