X1000 sensors

[sailorMH]

Hi,
slowly I configure my fresh Debian Sid installation. What I need is temperature sensors with correct names.
Howto:

Code: Select all

cp sensors-X1000.conf /etc/sensors.d/
apt-get install lm-sensors
apt-get install mate-sensors-applet

lm-sensors is cli-tool, basic usage is sensors or sensors -u

If I cannot attach here file with .conf extension, here is content of sensors-X1000.conf:

Code: Select all

chip "tmp423-*"

    label temp1 "Case"
    label temp2 "CPU"
    label temp3 "Core 1"
    label temp4 "Core 2"

chip "radeon-pci-0300"

    label temp1 "GPU 1"

    set temp1_max 120

chip "radeon-pci-0100"

    label temp1 "GPU 2"

    set temp1_max 120

In the .conf file are real names of sensors, without it we see only Temp1, Temp2, etc.
I am not 100% sure what is the order of sensors on I2C bus, but I use naming convention from AmigaOS dock.
If you find some error in names, please let me know.
GPU 1 is primary card in first x16 slot, I have here card for AmigaOS
GPU 2 is secondary card, second slot x16, I have here card for linux

And how it looks:

Great! Well done!

FYI: The CPU provides 3 SMbus controllers, and these are used to connect up various SMbus and I2C devices. The number of SMbusses is expanded to 7 via a 1:4 multiplexer on SMbus 1.
SMBus is built on I2C and is therefore generally compatible with I2C devices.
The controller is a PCI device.
The pasemi smbus controller uses PCI_FUNC(dev->devfn) to define which number bus to attach to.

I played with sensors-detect, but found no other sensors.
I also check the AmigaOne X1000 firmware and booting guide and found there, that 'show temp' displays in CFE four temperatures:
-ambient in the case
-CPU core 1
-CPU core 2
-Southbridge chip
And if I not found other sensors on bus, I corrected names in according to it.

/etc/sensors.d/sensors-X1000.conf:

Code: Select all

chip "tmp423-*"

    label temp1 "Case Temp"
    set temp1_max   40
    set temp1_crit  50

    label temp2 "Core0 Temp"
    set temp2_max    90
    set temp2_crit  100

    label temp3 "Core1 Temp"
    set temp3_max    90
    set temp3_crit  100

    label temp4 "SB600 Temp"
    set temp4_max 100
    set temp4_crit  120

chip "radeon-pci-0300"

    label temp1 "GPU1 "
    set temp1_max 120

chip "radeon-pci-0100"

    label temp1 "GPU2 "
    set temp1_max 120

I also added critical and max temperatures for four base sensors. Unfortunately it looks like _crit and _max has no influence to anything.
PCI graphics cards have limit set automatically.

If somebody want to set Mate Sensor Applet manually, temperatures are these:
PA6T core 100 C running junction temperature ( max will be higher, but I cannot found exact source )
SB600 Operating case temp: 105 C
SB600 Absolute Rated junction temp: 125 C
Mate Sensor Applet icons+max temp can be altered via Prefs/Sensors/Properties

Fantastic! Great work!

Does it mean, that the naming convention from the AmigaOS dock is wrong because it has the name “CPU” instead of the name “ Core0” for the second sensor value?

Probably yes. But os4depot.net / x1ktemp.lha has no source code there, so I am not able to check it directly. We can contact author Alexandre Balaban and ask him.
x1ktemp.docky shows this:


and this is from A-EON Firmware + Booting guide:

Code: Select all

local 1 = ambient temperature in the case.
remote 1 = CPU core 1
remote 2 = CPU core 2
remote 3 = Southbridge chip

I prefer data written in manual, they are more logic. But I have to say it is no big problem if I am wrong. Temperatures above 100°C are too high both for CPU and Southbridge, and both alternatives signalizing bad cooling.
Also if you look on picture in my previous post, there is on mate panel this order of sensors ( named according to manual ):
Core0 51°C, Core1 51°C, SB 45°C, GPU2 47 °C, GPU1 43°C, Case 33°C
Snapshot was made after few minutes of glxgears, and the results makes sense with this names.

Other way how check which names are right is to make a stress test with active cooling of Southbridge.

I successfully configured lm_sensors on Void PPC today.
