Hi all, Sorry to bother, I hope this is the right email. I'll try to be short.
I recovered a SunBlade1000. The kernel thread works perfect (just a little adjustement on the temp ranges so the fan doesn't blow my ears). I wanted to gather in some way the info gathered by the kernel thread. Using the i2c or lm_sensors or kernel hardware sensors didn't work for me. As I saw that kenvctrl kernel thread, it reads the values and modifies the fan speeds as needed, but I was wondering if there is any way to get the values it reads, so I could know the temperature and fan speeds. Maybe I didn't search enough, or maybe there is no other way, so I modified the bbc_envctrl.c to print the values via the procfs to the /proc/kenvctrl file. I just added a spinlock and the create_proc_file and destroy. This is the output I show: # cat /proc/kenvctrl TEMP0: cpu 73 amb 27 TEMP1: cpu 71 amb 27 FAN0: psuppy 1 cpufanspeed 44 sysfanspeed 41 I attach the source. I think the spinlock is well used. I was wondering.....in case there is no other way to obtain the values....could it be possible to think of updating the bbc_envctrl to show the values to the procfs as I did here? is it doable? or is it just too much work to do for an almost obsolete hardware? I think it could be extremely easy afterwards to show that info using something like gnome-sensors-applet, as it's plugins seems easy to create. Sorry for the inconvenience in case it is not the right email list. ....well in case it is the correct one, I leave a question in case samebody knows......the cpufanspeed and sysfanspeed (as it is shown in a comment somewhere in the bbc_envctrl.c), what are they? voltage? or RPMs? and in either case.....by what number we need to multiply those values to obtain the correct human-readable number?
