Hi Andreas, > could anyone tell me how to read the CPU temperature within a kernel module? > Is this possible? > Any proposals? Using the hardware monitoring drivers, no, it's not possible. The drivers export temperature values, but don't know which temperature corresponds to the CPU - as this is completely board-dependant, the mapping is done in user-space. The returned values may also need scaling, which is done in user-space as well. Now, you may take you chance with ACPI. The "thermal" ACPI driver, where available, provides a temperature which doesn't need scaling. I see nothing which guarantees that the temperature provided correponds to the CPU, but this seems to be true in most cases. May I ask why you would need this information from a kernel driver? > Machen Sie aus 14 Cent spielend bis zu 100 Euro! > Die neue Gaming-Area von Arcor - ?ber 50 Onlinespiele im Angebot. > http://www.arcor.de/rd/emf-gaming-1 This is a public mailing list, please don't spam it with advertisement.
