Hi, is lm-sensors supported? which chip can be used to get lm-sensors data?
regards Frank
Did i need to add a i2c-config to dts like here?
which bus has the sensors attached? Any additional Kernel-modules?
added only I2C_CHARDEV-option to kernel and got this:
Linux bpi-r2 4.14.0-00004-gbeba822 #1 SMP Tue Dec 12 12:13:30 CET 2017 armv7l

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no):
modprobe: FATAL: Module cpuid not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.0-00004-2
Failed to load module cpuid.

Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no):
Sorry, no supported PCI bus adapters found.
Module i2c-dev loaded successfully.
Next adapter: i2c-mt65xx (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Next adapter: i2c-mt65xx (i2c-1)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Sorry, no sensors were detected.
Either your system has no sensors, or they are not supported, or
they are connected to an I2C or SMBus adapter that is not
supported. If you find out what chips are on your board, check
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for driver status.
do i need a separate driver for mt65xx? or miss i something in dts?
Which i2c device you used here on your board ?
no external device, want to read internal sensors, or are there none?
i2c-0 and i2c-1 seems to be the i2c-busses on gpio, right?
There i2c-mt65xx is bus driver, so they have to be used along with external devices.
Only sensor available on bpi-r2 as I knew is thermal sensor for cpu which is being accessed through on-chip bus called auxadc, you could find this in dts files to know more.
found it in mt7623.dtsi, but how to access it?
auxadc: adc@11001000 {
compatible = "mediatek,mt7623-auxadc",
"mediatek,mt2701-auxadc";
reg = <0 0x11001000 0 0x1000>;
clocks = <&pericfg CLK_PERI_AUXADC>;
clock-names = "main";
#io-channel-cells = <1>;
};
seems that it is enabled by default (no status=disabled), nothing found in bananapi.dts
Maybe this is related: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mediatek/2016-August/006638.html
thermal-block in dts is existing,but how to read the values?
It seems that also a driver must be activated in kernel (mtk_thermal):
http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v4.14.6/source/drivers/thermal/Makefile
added module MTK_TERMAL, but no success…

i’ve found no config-option for CPUID, only CPUIDLE for different platforms…
searched also through sysfs and tried that which seems also not correct:
root@bpi-r2:~# cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
0
maybe it needs this:
Symbol: CPU_THERMAL [=n]
Prompt: generic cpu cooling support
?
any Idea how to read out CPU-Temp?
had included and loaded now thermal_sys, mtk_thermal and mt6577_auxadc but sensors-detect does not find anything
anyone knows how to get at least the CPU-Temp?
Any success to read CPU temp?
On kernel 4.9, i can retrieved temp value, not sure the value is valid neither the unit. I have mtk_thermal and thermal_sys modules loaded.
# lsmod | grep ther
mtk_thermal 5385 0
thermal_sys 53003 1 mtk_thermal
# cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/*temp
56934
47000
67000
87000
107000
cat *temp in that dir is not the right way:
see here:
[17:59] root@bpi-r2:~# cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/*temp
cat: /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp: Invalid argument
47000
67000
87000
107000
[18:00] root@bpi-r2:~# ls /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/
available_policies offset trip_point_0_hyst trip_point_2_temp
integral_cutoff policy trip_point_0_temp trip_point_2_type
k_d power trip_point_0_type trip_point_3_hyst

k_po subsystem trip_point_1_temp trip_point_3_type
k_pu sustainable_power trip_point_1_type type
mode temp trip_point_2_hyst uevent
first you don’t know which “file” do you cat, second there are not only temperature-sensors there
kernel i used: 4.14.44-main
I take the same example as you in a previous post.
# cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
56465
can you compare dts(i) and (def)config between 4.9 and 4.14?
thermal-node and auxadc
I can retrieved a value, not sure the value is valid neither of the unit. If it is degrees Celsius it is high.
$ grep -i thermal .config | grep -v '#'
CONFIG_THERMAL=m
CONFIG_THERMAL_OF=y
CONFIG_THERMAL_DEFAULT_GOV_STEP_WISE=y
CONFIG_THERMAL_GOV_STEP_WISE=y
CONFIG_MTK_THERMAL=m
The thermal zone are describe in the arch/arm/boot/dts/mt7623.dtsi
Seems like Module i2c-dev and cpuid are need. sensors-detect is unable to find any sensors.
It is milli (1/1000) degrees celcius…
Cpuid is not available on arm-systems, i have tried with i2c-dev too, but no success
config is (nearly) same im 4.14:
$ grep -i thermal .config | grep -v '#'
CONFIG_THERMAL=m
CONFIG_THERMAL_EMERGENCY_POWEROFF_DELAY_MS=0
CONFIG_THERMAL_OF=y
CONFIG_THERMAL_DEFAULT_GOV_STEP_WISE=y
CONFIG_THERMAL_GOV_STEP_WISE=y
CONFIG_MTK_THERMAL=m
@linkerosa have you an idea whats the Problem?
