Yes, it should be easy to adapt to lm-sensors, all you need to do is move the code to a Linux kernel driver and add sysfs attributes to export the temperature to users-space. The fact that this is a PCI device isn't a problem at all, we already have several hwmon drivers for PCI devices: k8temp, sis5595, via686a, vt8231 and, I believe, i5k_amb. > The code is here: > > http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/attachments/20081026/0f52e1e7/attachment-0001.gz > > It's format is tar.gz A couple notes: * You make use of PCI_FILL_CLASS while as far as I can tell you don't need it. This prevents your tool from building with older pci header files so you may want to stop using it. * On my laptop with an ICH7, the tool reports "Your GPU temperature is under 40 degrees Centigrade". This laptop has an ATI Radeon graphics chip so the Intel IGP isn't used. So I am curious if the value returned by your tool is meaningful or not? * Note that the correct unit name is degree Celsius, not degree Centigrade. -- Jean Delvare
