Maybe I should have asked this originally. What does 'TRM' mean?

You can read the TRM and see if there is a mechanism for accessing it and if so, what the address is.

Anyway, do you know how I can access it? I have a few packages that should be able to read built-in temperature sensors, but none of them are able to locate it automatically and I have no idea what to give it for 'Sensor location'. I don't see anything mounted in /dev/ that could be helpful and I don't know enough about Linux to know where else it could be. What is the 'location' that I need to access it?

The processor has on on-chip temperature sensor.

It doesn't seem to be a problem, but I was wondering if the BBB had a built-in temperature sensor. I know some laptops have internal thermometers, so does the BBB have one? It's meant as a minimal device, so I would imagine it doesn't, but it would be nice to know if it does! -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
