Thanks for the mail. I'm working with Corey and with HP on a sensors-IPMI interface. It uses Corey's in-kernel API. It's in CVS and I'll be checking in more soon. I'll look at yours and see what I can use. On the Xeons, on many boards the xeon sensor is on an i2c bus accessible directly by the processor (not behind BMC). That's what we support (kindof) now. mds "Cress, Andrew R" wrote: > > Folks, > > I like the way your project ties together lots of types of sensors. > I have a project that uses IPMI to do various things, including get > sensor data and decode the readings.
