30.Dt JEDEC_DIMM 4
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm jedec_dimm
34.Nd report asset information and temperatures for JEDEC DDR3 / DDR4 DIMMs
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.Bd -ragged -offset indent
37.Cd "device jedec_dimm"
38.Cd "device smbus"
39.Ed
40.Pp
41Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following
42line in
43.Xr loader.conf 5 :
44.Bd -literal -offset indent
45jedec_dimm_load="YES"
46.Ed
47.Pp
48Addressing information must be manually specified in
49.Pa /boot/device.hints :
50.Bd -literal -offset indent
51.Cd hint.jedec_dimm.0.at="smbus0"
52.Cd hint.jedec_dimm.0.addr="0xa0"
53.Cd hint.jedec_dimm.0.slotid="Silkscreen"
54.Ed
55.Sh DESCRIPTION
56The
57.Nm
58driver reports asset information (Part Number, Serial Number) encoded in the
59.Dq Serial Presence Detect
60(SPD) data on JEDEC DDR3 and DDR4 DIMMs.
61It also calculates and reports the memory capacity of the DIMM, in megabytes.
62If the DIMM includes a
63.Dq Thermal Sensor On DIMM
64(TSOD), the temperature is also reported.
65.Pp
66The
67.Nm
68driver accesses the SPD and TSOD over the
69.Xr smbus 4 .
70.Pp
71The data is reported via a
72.Xr sysctl 8
73interface; all values are read-only:
74.Bl -tag -width "dev.jedec_dimm.X.capacity"
75.It Va dev.jedec_dimm.X.%desc
76a string description of the DIMM, including TSOD and slotid info if present.
77.It Va dev.jedec_dimm.X.capacity
78the DIMM's memory capacity, in megabytes
79.It Va dev.jedec_dimm.X.part
80the manufacturer's part number of the DIMM
81.It Va dev.jedec_dimm.X.serial
82the manufacturer's serial number of the DIMM
83.It Va dev.jedec_dimm.X.slotid
84a copy of the corresponding hint, if set
85.It Va dev.jedec_dimm.X.temp
86if a TSOD is present, the reported temperature
87.It Va dev.jedec_dimm.X.type
88the DIMM type (DDR3 or DDR4)
89.El
90.Pp
91These values are configurable for
92.Nm
93via
94.Xr device.hints 5 :
95.Bl -tag -width "hint.jedec_dimm.X.slotid"
96.It Va hint.jedec_dimm.X.at
97the
98.Xr smbus 4
99to which the DIMM is connected
100.It Va hint.jedec_dimm.X.addr
101the SMBus address of the SPD.
102JEDEC specifies that the four most-significant bits of the address are the
103.Dq Device Type Identifier
104(DTI), and that the DTI of the SPD is 0xa.
105Since the least-significant bit of an SMBus address is the read/write bit, and
106is always written as 0, that means the four least-significant bits of the
107address must be even.
108.It Va hint.jedec_dimm.X.slotid
109optional slot identifier.
110If populated with the DIMM slot name silkscreened on the motherboard, this
111provides a mapping between the DIMM slot name and the DIMM serial number.
112That mapping is useful for detailed asset tracking, and makes it easier to
113physically locate a specific DIMM when doing a replacement.
114This is useful when assembling multiple identical systems, as might be done by
115a system vendor.
116The mapping between bus/address and DIMM slot must first be determined, either
117through motherboard documentation or trial-and-error.
118.El
119.Pp
120If the DIMMs are on an I2C bus behind an
121.Xr iicbus 4
122controller, then the
123.Xr iicsmb 4
124bridge driver can be used to attach the
125.Xr smbus 4 .
126.Sh EXAMPLES
127Consider two DDR4 DIMMs with the following hints:
128.Bd -literal -offset indent
129hint.jedec_dimm.0.at="smbus0"
130hint.jedec_dimm.0.addr="0xa0"
131hint.jedec_dimm.0.slotid="A1"
132
133hint.jedec_dimm.6.at="smbus1"
134hint.jedec_dimm.6.addr="0xa8"

164.Sh COMPATIBILITY
165.Nm
166implements a superset of the functionality of the now-deleted
167.Xr jedec_ts 4 .
168Hints for
169.Xr jedec_ts 4
170can be mechanically converted for use with
171.Nm .
172Two changes are required:
173.Bl -enum
174.It
175In all
176.Xr jedec_ts 4
177hints, replace
178.Dq jedec_ts
179with
180.Dq jedec_dimm
181.It
182In
183.Xr jedec_ts 4
184.Dq addr
185hints, replace the TSOD DTI
186.Dq 0x3
187with the SPD DTI
188.Dq 0xa
189.El
190.Pp
191The following
192.Xr sed 1
193script will perform the necessary changes:
194.Bd -literal -offset indent
195sed -i ".old" -e 's/jedec_ts/jedec_dimm/' \\
196    -e '/jedec_dimm/s/addr="0x3/addr="0xa/' /boot/device.hints
