On blaze tablet platform(OMAP 4) temperature channels were used by
thermal framework and battery driver.
Thermal was using channel 4 [1]
Here is the comment from the driver:
* NTC termistor (NCP15WB473F) schematic connection for OMAP4460 board:
*
* [Vref]
* |
* $ (Rpu)
* |
* +----+-----------[Vin]
* | |
* [Rt] $ (Rpd)
* | |
* -------- (ground)
*
* NTC termistor resistanse (Rt, k) calculated from following formula:
*
* Rt = Rpd * Rpu * Vin / (Rpd * (Vref - Vin) - Rpu * Vin)
*
* where Vref (GPADC_VREF4) - reference voltage, Vref = 1250 mV;
* Vin (GPADC_IN4) - measuring voltage, Vin = 0...1250 mV;
* Rpu (R1041) - pullup resistor, Rpu = 10 k;
* Rpd (R1043) - pulldown resistor, Rpd = 220 k;
*
* Pcb temp sensor temperature (t, C) calculated from following formula:
*
* t = 1 / (ln(Rt / Rt0) / B + 1 / T0) - 273
*
* where Rt0 - NTC termistor resistance at 25 C, Rt0 = 47 k;
* B - specific constant, B = 4131 K;
* T0 - temperature, T0 = 298 K
[..]
And then there is a table for conversion:
/*
* Temperature values in degrees celsius,
* voltage values from 156 to 1191 milli volts
*/
static s8 mvolt_to_temp[] = {
125, 125, 125, 124, 124, 124, 124, 123, 123, 123, 122, 122,
122, 122, 121, 121, 121, 121, 120, 120, 120, 120, 119, 119,
[..]
The battery driver was using channel 1, dedicated for measuring battery
temperature.
static void twl6030_bci_battery_work(struct work_struct *work)
{
[..]
for (temp = 0; temp < di->platform_data->tblsize; temp++) {
if (adc_code >= di->platform_data->
battery_tmp_tbl[temp])
break;
}
/* first 2 values are for negative temperature */
di->temp_C = (temp - 2) * 10; * /* in tenths of degree Celsius */
[..]
}
static int omap4_batt_table[] = {
/* adc code for temperature in degree C */
929, 925, /* -2 ,-1 */
920, 917, 912, 908, 904, 899, 895, 890, 885, 880, /* 00 - 09 */
875, 869, 864, 858, 853, 847, 841, 835, 829, 823, /* 10 - 19 */
[..]
591, 583, 575, 567, 559, 551, 543, 535, 527, 519, /* 50 - 59 */
511, 504, 496 /* 60 - 62 */
};
So, one driver was using millivolts and the other ADC code,
Though converting to millivolts and the to temperature, seems,
to be redundant, as code can be converted to temperature.
If I recollect correctly the previous driver version was using just
ADC code.

Sasha.
