FW-7541D wrong temperature

@esquire1968:

I tried both possibilities. Same result 9 degrees …

I'd just ignore it.

stephenw10

Hmm, that should work with the Intel on-die sensor. That's an Atom D525 right?

On Linux the FW-7541D (Atom D525 with w83627dhg chip) uses the "w83627ehf" kernel module for sensor info. Possibly a clue for the FreeBSD case.

Mmm, lm-sensors uses the SuperIO chip but the Intel Coretemp driver reads from the in the on-die sensor via a CPU register. It should be reading those without a problem.

The fact it's only reading from 1 core seems suspicious. Like maybe it got a dead core or somehow a different CPU. The 7541had a number of variants but they all had the D525.

Perhaps you are running on a customised box OP?

Steve

esquire1968

The info from Lannerinc was to use 'lm-sensors' and they sent me a config file.

Do you knowe where I can download lm-sensors an how I can install it? www.lm-sensors.org is dead!

Thomas

You can't use lmsensors in FreeBSD, there's no port as far as I know.

There used to be an equivalent program or sorts, mbmon, but I think that too is obsolete these days.

It looks like you have either an odd cpu or more likely an odd BIOS that is returning the wrong values. Not much can be done I'm afraid.

Does it show correctly in the BIOS hardware health screen?

Steve

esquire1968

The Bios shows the right temperatures:

System Temperature: 50*C/122*F
CPU Temperature:    38*C/100*F

The pfSense Dashboard shows 10*C!
No idea! :-\

Strange, isn't it …

Thomas

???

Yeah, what's going on there… Are you sure it's actually a D525?

Steve

esquire1968

I hope so …

CPU Type:  Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D525 @ 1.80GHz
           4 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 2 core(s) x 2 HTT threads

Lanner's recommendation was to install lm-sensors and the sent me a config file for this (see sensors3.conf).

I also have a FW-7541D, but running Linux, and the "coretemp" module does not work properly with Linux on that box, which I presume is basically what FreeBSD/pfSense uses. With "coretemp" I get:

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:        +8.0 C  (crit = +100.0 C)
Core 1:           N/A  (crit = +100.0 C)

It would seem using lm-sensors is the only way to to get the temperature, which does work properly.

esquire1968

Is it possible to run lm-sensor on FreeBSD/pfSense?

Thomas

stephenw10

No, there is no lmsensors in FreeBSD.

The closest thing is mbmon.
You would have to manually install that though

Steve

esquire1968

Do you thing, that mbmon will work. How can I read then the temperature - only via ssh or also on the dashboard?

How can I install mbmon?

Thomas

stephenw10

You can try:

pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:10:amd64/release_3/All/xmbmon-205_14.txz

then

rehash

then

mbmon -D

But installing FreeBSD packages isn't recommended.

Steve

esquire1968

I there any risk if i install the package?

How can I deinstall the package restless?

Thomas

stephenw10

I installed it on my D525 box here and there was no issue. It did't find any hardware though.

You can remove it with 'pkg delete X' if you need to.

You could just carry on without knowing the exact temperature though. It's probably not important. ;)
