28.Sh NAME
29.Nm viapm
30.Nd VIA chipsets Power Management controller driver
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.Cd device iicbb
33.Cd device iicbus
34.Cd device iicsmb
35.Cd device smbus
36.Cd device smb
37.Cd device viapm
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39This driver provides access to the
40.Tn "VIA chipset Power Management Unit"
41family.
42They are
43VT82C586B, VT82C596A, VT82C596B, VT82C686A and VT8233.
44.Pp
45The embedded controller of the VIA chipset may give you access
46to the monitoring facilities of your mainboard.
47.Pp
48The 586B support is made by software whereas other controllers support
49the SMBus protocol by hardware.
50See
51.Xr smb 4
52for writing user code to fetch voltages, temperature and so on from the
53monitoring chip of your mainboard.
