A simpler way: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
- make sure you have CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=y, CONFIG_I2C_HELPER_AUTO=y and |
| 7 |
select the correct I2C hardware bus drivers for your platform |
| 8 |
(CONFIG_I2C_I801 for most recent Intel chipsets and CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4 for |
| 9 |
most recent AMD chipsets; reading the help text of the various drivers |
| 10 |
should point you in the right direction); |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
- emerge sys-apps/lm_sensors |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
- run sensors-detect |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
- enable the drivers for all the things sensors-detect finds. Hopefully |
| 17 |
you won't have any unsupported chips... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
- you can then add lm_sensors to the default runlevel, so that it loads |
| 20 |
the correct modules during the boot process. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
The final step is to configure the software you use to display the |
| 23 |
sensor readings. It is usually a matter of attaching the correct labels |
| 24 |
to the various inputs, and possibly tweaking the scaling factors so that |
| 25 |
the readings match those shown by the BIOS; as the details depend on the |
| 26 |
specific manufacturer and model of your board, this will usually be a |
| 27 |
trial and error process, although google might help you. The comments in |
| 28 |
/etc/sensor3.conf, which controls software using the libraries provided |
| 29 |
by lm_sensors, are also a useful source of information. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
> cat /sys/devices/platform/ |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
This will miss those sensors which do not appear as a platform device |
| 34 |
(e.g. the AMD k10 on-die temperature sensors, which is a PCI device). |
