## 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](https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor)
## Installation
#### Dependencies:
- Ubuntu/Debian:
```apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) dkms```
- Fedora/CentOS/RHEL:
```yum install make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel kernel-headers dkms```
- ArchLinux:
```pacman -S make automake linux-firmware linux-headers dkms base-devel```
### Build with DKMS
```shell
~$ git clone https://github.com/Fred78290/nct6687d
~$ cd nct6687d
~$ make dkms/install
```
### Manual build
```shell
~$ git clone (this-repo)
~$ cd nct6687d
~$ make install
```
### Deb package
- Prerequisites
```shell
~$ apt install -y debhelper dkms
```
- Clone this repository
```shell
~$ git clone https://github.com/Fred78290/nct6687d
~$ cd nct6687d
```
- Build package
```shell
make deb
```

## Load(prob) Sensors on boot
To make it loaded after system boots
Just add nct6687 into /etc/modules
`sudo sh -c 'echo "nct6687" >> /etc/modules'`
## Gnome sensors extensions
 
## Tested
This module was tested on Ubuntu 20.04 with all kernel availble on motherboard [MAG-B550-TOMAHAWK](https://www.msi.com//Motherboard/MAG-B550-TOMAHAWK) running an [AMD 3900X/AMD 5900X](https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-9-3900x)
## Other motherboard supported
- Many people have reported compatibility with MB having Intel H410M & H510M chipset from some manufacturer. See [issue](https://github.com/Fred78290/nct6687d/issues) 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.
