X570SI AORUS PRO AX (rev. 1.1) works with force-load

[mooninite]

FYI: On Fedora 36 / 5.17.6-300.fc36.x86_64 I can force load the module and I get temp monitors.

@mooninite Great to hear! This driver is now developed upstream as part of the Linux kernel.

Do you think you could submit a patch there directly?
You can look at https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/ for an example.

On a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS sensors isn't working with a B650 AORUS ELITE AX.

Is gigabyte-wmi-driver not part of kernel version 5.15.0-67?

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.

Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no):

Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'...               No

Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'...               No
Trying family `ITE'...                                      Yes

Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it
there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no):
Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0...                      No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8...                     No

Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no):
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290...       No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290...       No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290...                   No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290...                   No

Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no):
Using driver `i2c-piix4' for device 0000:00:14.0: AMD KERNCZ SMBus

Next adapter: Synopsys DesignWare I2C adapter (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Adapter doesn't support all probing functions.
Some addresses won't be probed.

Next adapter: Synopsys DesignWare I2C adapter (i2c-1)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Adapter doesn't support all probing functions.

Probing for `SPD EEPROM'...                                 No

Sorry, no sensors were detected.
Either your system has no sensors, or they are not supported, or
they are connected to an I2C or SMBus adapter that is not
supported. If you find out what chips are on your board, check
https://hwmon.wiki.kernel.org/device_support_status for driver status.

Does it persist between reboots?

[t-8ch]

Looks like it worked!

Nice!

Does it persist between reboots?

No. The proper fix is to submit the hardware ID to the upstream kernel. (See #17 if you want to do it, or I can do it)

As a one-off fix for your machine you can do:

echo "options gigabyte-wmi force_load=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/gigabyte.conf

May be a bit off-topic, is it possible to change the fans speed from the OS?

[t-8ch]

/sys/class/dmi/id/board_name:B650 AORUS ELITE AX

Do you want me to add that to the upstream driver?

is it possible to change the fans speed from the OS?

I think it's possible either via the it87 driver (which has issues) or by reverse-engineering the WMI methods.

[got3nks]

I think it can be added as it seems to work as far as the 6 sensors I listed above.

[t-8ch]

The question was more if you want to submit the patch or if I should.

If I am to do it, do you have a name and email that I can use as reporter?

[got3nks]

You can submit the patch yourself of course. I have never done it before.

If I am to do it, do you have a name and email that I can use as reporter?

I'd rather not give my sensible information on a public post.
