Why internal sensor on atom cpu isn't yet supported?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Why doesn't this fit the current temperature interface?  What is there in the interface that says it has to be an absolute temperature and not a relative temperature?

Alarms, min-max, hysterisis, etc all still work the same, they are just shifted so that the max limit is zero and the typical values are less than zero.  We allow negative temperatures in the library.

This doesn't fit in our standard interface. If we want to do this (I'm
not sure) we need to define a new interface first.
