Linux kernel module for Nuvoton NCT6687-R

README

NCT6687D Kernel module

This kernel module permit to recognize the chipset Nuvoton NCT6687-R in lm-sensors package. This sensor is present on some B550 motherboard such as MSI or ASUS.

The implementation is minimalist and was done by reverse coding of Windows 10 source code from LibreHardwareMonitor

Installation

Tested

This module was tested on Ubuntu 20.04 with all kernel availble on motherboard MAG-B550-TOMAHAWK running an AMD 3900X/AMD 5900X

Other motherboard supported

• Many people have reported compatibility with MB having Intel H410M & H510M chipset from some manufacturer. See issue report.

CHANGELOG

• Add support for MSI B460M Bazooka having NCT6687 with another device ID

VERIFIED

1. Fan speed control

• Changing fan speed was tested succesfuly by users, see reported issue.
