Description

-----------



This driver permits reading temperature sensor(s) embedded inside AMD K8 CPUs.

Official documentation says that it works from revision F of K8 core, but

in fact it seems to be implemented for all revisions of K8 except the first

two revisions (SH-B0 and SH-B3).

This driver permits reading temperature sensor(s) embedded inside AMD K8

family CPUs (Athlon64/FX, Opteron). Official documentation says that it works

from revision F of K8 core, but in fact it seems to be implemented for all

revisions of K8 except the first two revisions (SH-B0 and SH-B3).



Please note that you will need at least lm-sensors 2.10.1 for proper userspace

support.



There can be up to four temperature sensors inside single CPU. The driver

will auto-detect the sensors and will display only temperatures from
