SYNOPSIS

       device smbus
       device smb
       device amdpm

DESCRIPTION

       This  driver  provides  access to AMD 756/766/768/8111 Power management controllers.  Currently, only the
       SMBus 1.0 controller function is implemented.  The SMBus 2.0 functionality of the AMD 8111 controller  is
       supported via the amdsmb(4) driver.

       The  embedded SMBus controller of the AMD 756 chipset may give you access to the monitoring facilities of
       your mainboard.  See smb(4) for writing user code to fetch voltages,  temperature  and  so  on  from  the
       monitoring chip of your mainboard.
