NAME
     amdpm -- AMD 756/766/768/8111 Power Management controller driver

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  imple-
     mented.   The  SMBus  2.0	functionality of the AMD 8111 controller is sup-
     ported 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.
