New version of CPUTmpMon available,

Just in case the three people who volunteered to test it out for me aren’t the only users of !CPUTmpMon, I’ll let it be known here that there’s a new release (v2.00) that works happily on the BeagleBoard-xM. You can find it here. Thanks to all those who tested!

Just to let you know – I’ve just tried it on my xM and I got around 56C 600MHz and 61C 800MHz.

Edit: I should add that this was running at 1600×1000xC16M in case it matters.

Thanks, Grahame. If anyone else wants to post their temperature readings (or SysLog logs), it might be interesting. I know Peter Dowson was interested to hear what readings others were getting.

I just tried this on my Pandaboard ES, but it fails with an “Abort on datatransfer at &0000FB3C at line 3260”. Would it be difficult to support the Pandaboard ES?

Would it be difficult to support the Pandaboard ES?

Probably not, judging from a brief glance over the OMAP4460 TRM. If I have some spare time (ha!) over the coming weeks, I’ll see if I can do it. But really it would be better to work on adding a proper HAL interface to hardware monitoring, rather than supporting each individual bit of kit in the application layer. I think Jeffrey had a plan to put this into the Portable module. Not sure if anything ever came of that. He’s probably been way too busy with other things. I haven’t had any time in the last year to spare for RISC OS unfortunately.

Indeed!

I’m nearly at the point where I’m going to add battery monitoring/management to the Portable module, along with writing a new version of the A4/Stork BatMgr app. Maybe I can squeeze in an API for temperature sensing and RTC battery management at the same time.

There is already a tweaked version of CPUTmpMon for the Pandaboard inside the pandaboot.zip supplied by Chris Gransden.

Is a CPUTempMon for the RPi aviable?

Not at the moment. I’d be interested in adding the R-Pi to the code, but first I think I need the BCMSupport module to be released. There’s been some discussion here.
