- .Sh NAME
- .Nm amdtemp
- .Nd device driver for
- .Tn AMD
- processor on-die digital thermal sensor
- .Sh SYNOPSIS
- To compile this driver into the kernel,
- place the following line in your
- kernel configuration file:
- .Bd -ragged -offset indent
- .Cd "device amdtemp"
- .Ed
- .Pp
- Alternatively, to load the driver as a
- module at boot time, place the following line in
- .Xr loader.conf 5 :
- .Bd -literal -offset indent
- amdtemp_load="YES"
- .Ed
- .Sh DESCRIPTION
- The
- .Nm
- driver provides support for the on-die digital thermal sensor present
- in
- .Tn AMD
- Family 0Fh, 10h, 11h, 12h, 14h, and 15h processors.
- .Pp
- For Family 0Fh processors, the
- .Nm
- driver reports each core's temperature through sysctl nodes, named
- .Va dev.amdtemp.%d.core{0,1}.sensor{0,1} .
- The driver also creates
- .Va dev.cpu.%d.temperature
- in the corresponding CPU device's sysctl tree, displaying the maximum
- temperature of the two sensors located in each CPU core.
- .Pp
- For Family 10h, 11h, 12h, 14h, and 15h processors, the driver reports each
- package's temperature through a sysctl node, named
- .Va dev.amdtemp.%d.core0.sensor0 .
- The driver also creates
- .Va dev.cpu.%d.temperature
- in the corresponding CPU device's sysctl tree, displaying the temperature
- of the shared sensor located in each CPU package.
- .Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
- The following variable is available as both
- .Xr sysctl 8
- variable and
- .Xr loader 8
- tunable:
- .Bl -tag -width indent
- .It Va dev.amdtemp.%d.sensor_offset
- .El
- Add the given offset to the temperature of the sensor.
- Default is 0.
- .Sh SEE ALSO
- .Xr loader 8 ,
- .Xr sysctl 8
- .Sh HISTORY
- The
- .Nm
- driver first appeared in
- .Fx 7.1 .

- .Sh CAVEATS
- For Family 10h and later processors,
- .Do
- (the reported temperature) is a non-physical temperature measured on
- an arbitrary scale and it does not represent an actual physical
- temperature like die or case temperature.
- Instead, it specifies the processor temperature relative to the point
- at which the system must supply the maximum cooling for the processor's
- specified maximum case temperature and maximum thermal power dissipation
- .Dc
- according to
- .Rs
- .%T BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide (BKDG) for AMD Processors
