The HECI interface would allow lm_sensors developers to grab the
temperatures off the chips on the board.

From 2005(?)-2008 there was some chatter about supporting it but it
never
seemed to happen, is there any eventual planned support for supporting
Intel's HECI interface or if the user wants to see the
temperatures/voltages just buy a different motherboard with an ITE I/O
controller?

I have a couple DG965WH boards and it would be nice to see the
temperature of the chipset etc without having to reboot into the BIOS.

Hi Justin,

I am not up to date on the progress in this area, but perhaps this site
(http://www.openamt.org/) has what you are looking for?

Yeah that is the site-- however, will it ever get merged?  I have not
heard anything about it for a year or so.

Nope, the heci is just a controller, but we need a way to tell that
controller to show us the temperature data.
But intel hasn't released the QST sdk, and probably never will.

Sad,


Well I found this interesting thread about :


http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/manageability-software-development/topic/54851/

It looks like the QST SDK already exists and is planned to be released..
(

)
I volunteer to test any patches if/when they are created after the SDK is
released.



Again me .. Well the SDK is *still* not released ..  The Intel folks
said back in August :

"The latest word is that the SDK is being prepared for approval but it
is contingent upon an upcoming platform release."

( whatever that means )


Anyway Andriy Gapon has posted on lm-sensors some nice tool to read
the sensors output ( thx :) )
(http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2009-October/026830.html)

Today I'm out from hospital so I've decided to quick hack this tool
and make it work on Linux.

Here the output from my DQ45CB mobo:

crazy@thor:~/INTEL/QST/Li$ sudo ./heci-qst
CPU  Temp:      56.00   °C
MB   Temp:      31.14   °C
ICH  Temp:      67.37   °C
MCH  Temp:      66.00   °C
CPU  Fan:       1080    RPM
INL  Fan:       1202    RPM
OUTL Fan:       288     RPM
+12  Volts:     11.965  V
+5   Volts:     5.021   V
+3.3 Volts:     3.316   V
MCH  Vccp:      1.122   V
CPU1 Vccp:      1.125   V

Justin I know is not based on released SDK of Intel but maybe you
still want to do some tests ?:)
Hi,

I upgraded my system and have a new board now, I do have another system that
uses the same board (DG965WH) if you have a patch/URL with the software I
can give it a run.

Justin.


( of course you need the heci kernel modules first )

@Andriy there is a smallish bug in your original code .. you should
use ..... , abs(value) ...., abs(value) ...);
that will solve the negative CPU TEMP values you get with your version.

Best Regards,

Gabriel C
