Temperature Reading on AMD

Fahrenhe1t

Do you know if the temperature is able to be read from a different operating system?

Maybe you could boot Ubuntu from USB on your pfSense box (without installing it), install the lm-sensors package, then run: sudo sensors
If it returns accurate CPU temperature, then you know it's a problem with FreeBSD not detecting your CPU properly.

It looks like the A6-5400K CPU was released in 2012. If I had to guess, I bet FreeBSD (and the and specifically amdtemp.ko) doesn't detect the CPU properly. The CPU ID would have to be determined, the new sensor line would have to be added to the amdtemp source code, then it would have to be recompiled with the new CPU information. I'm just guessing though.

Thats a good idea but then I still have a broken temperature status. Your right the cpu is a bit old. I think I'll cut my time losses and try an A6-7470K. If it works I'll keep the 5400 as a back up.

Fahrenhe1t

Actually, I think the CPU is fine, it's just that amdtemp.ko isn't always updated with "new" CPU's. If you don't have any luck with the new CPU, I might be able to try and compile a new amdtemp.ko, you'd just have to tell me what the CPU ID is. In the source code, the CPU ID's look like this:


#define        DEVICEID_AMD_MISC14     0x1703
#define        DEVICEID_AMD_MISC15     0x1603
#define        DEVICEID_AMD_MISC16     0x1533
#define        DEVICEID_AMD_MISC16_X3  0X1583

The last one is the ID for my A10 Micro-6700T. I have no idea how that can be found though.

markn62

The newer cpu reports the same. I'll look for the DEVICEID.

markn62

The only ID I find is 630F81. Not sure where those txt strings come from in the amdtemp.ko file.

Fahrenhe1t

Hey, I found a thread which has updated DEVICEID's (http://www.pcengines.info/forums/?page=post&id=795B2ACC-F4B0-4181-9B4A-54EC757D4001&fid=DF5ACB70-99C4-4C61-AFA6-4C0E0DB05B2A). The guy (Stephan) said he compiled the latest version and uploaded it here: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=70328254396185987242

Maybe you can try that one?

markn62

I downloaded the file you linked too, with WinSCP I removed the old /boot/kernel/amdtemp.ko and copied new file to /root, then followed the instructions;

kldunload amdtemp
cp /root/amdtemp.ko /boot/kernel/
kldload /boot/kernel/amdtemp.ko

Still reports 0C.

From the shell, when you type:

what happens? Also, if you type after loading:
dmesg

What does it say?

I'm running some units in production environment, so will be testing this release in my testlab and wait for stable release for my production environment.

Seems strange though, people confirmed in another thread that the 10.3 amdtemp.ko worked on your chip (https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=106444.msg631137#msg631137)…

markn62

Suddenly out of the blue I notice now the temps are correct in the GUI. No firmware upgrade since last post. No idea how it started working. Added some 1:1's, a few rules, bout it since. Odd…

markn62

Come to find out the A6-7470K did fix the problem. I wasn't told it got dropped in the router box.

@markn62:

Thats a good idea but then I still have a broken temperature status. Your right the cpu is a bit old. I think I'll cut my time losses and try an A6-7470K. If it works I'll keep the 5400 as a back up.

@Fahrenhe1t

Do you really have to place amdtemp.ko in /boot/modules as well? I don't see any amtemp.ko file there by default.

AfTaStEr

is there anyway to see the temp readings on a AMD Sempron 2200+ cpu? AMD K7
