+# NPCD378
+
+This page describes the [Nuvoton] SuperIO chip that can be found on various [HP]
+mainboards.
+
+As no datasheet is available most of the functions have been reverse engineered and
+might be inacurate or wrong.
+
+## LDNs
+
+```eval_rst
++-------+---------------------------+
+| LDN # | Function |
++=======+===========================+
+| 0 | FDC |
++-------+---------------------------+
+| 1 | Parallel Port |

+| 2 | Com1 |

+| 3 | Com2 / IR |

+
+### LDN0
+
+Follows [Nuvoton]'s default FDC register set. See [NCT6102D] for more details.
+
+### LDN1
+
+Follows [Nuvoton]'s default LPT register set. See [NCT6102D] for more details.
+
+### LDN2
+
+Follows [Nuvoton]'s default COM1 register set. See [NCT6102D] for more details.
+
+### LDN3
+
+Follows [Nuvoton]'s default COM2 register set. See [NCT6102D] for more details.
+
+### LDN4
+
+On most SuperIOs the use of LDN4 is forbidden. That's not the case on NPCD378.
+
+It exposes 16 byte of IO config space to control the front LEDs PWM duty cycle
+and power button behaviour on normal / during S3 resume.
+
+### LDN5
+
+A custom PS/2 AUX port.
+
+### LDN6
+
+Follows [Nuvoton]'s default KBC register set. See [NCT6102D] for more details.
+
+### LDN7
+
+Looks like a WDT.
+
+### LDN8
+
+Custom HWM space. It exposes 256 byte of IO config space.
+See [HWM](#HWM) for more details.
+
+## HWM
+
+### Register
+
+The registers are accessible via IO space and are located at LDN8's IOBASE.
+
+```eval_rst
++---------------+-----------------------+
+| IOBASE offset | Register |
++---------------+-----------------------+
+| 0x4 | Host Write CTRL |
++---------------+-----------------------+
+| 0x10 - 0xfe | HWM Page # |
++---------------+-----------------------+
+| 0xff | Page index select |
++---------------+-----------------------+
+```
+
+### Host Write CTRL
+Bit 0 must be cleared prior to writing any of the HWM register and it must be
+set after writing to HWM register to signal the SuperIO that data has changed.
+Reading register is possible at any time and doesn't need special locking.
+
+### HWM Page
+The SuperIO exposes 16 different pages. Nearly all registers are unknown.
+
+**Page 1**
+
+```eval_rst
++---------------+-----------------------+
+| IOBASE offset | Register |
++---------------+-----------------------+
+| 0x98 | PSU fan PWM |
++---------------+-----------------------+
+```
+
+### Page index
+The 4 LSB of the page index register selects which HWM page is active.
+A write takes effect immediately.
