NAME

     coretemp -- Intel Core on-die digital thermal sensor


SYNOPSIS

     options INTEL_CORETEMP


DESCRIPTION

     The coretemp driver provides support for the on-die digital thermal sen-
     sor present on Intel Core and newer CPUs.

     The coretemp driver reports each core's temperature through the envsys(4)
     API. The driver has only 1 temperature sensor:

EVENTS

     The coretemp driver is able to send a critical event to the
     /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_temperature powerd(8) script (if running) when
     the temperature has reached a critical state.


SEE ALSO

     envstat(4), powerd(8)


HISTORY

     The coretemp driver first appeared in FreeBSD 7.0.  And then was ported
     to NetBSD 5.0.


AUTHORS

     The coretemp driver was written by Rui Paulo <rpaulo@FreeBSD.org> as part
     of a Google Summer of Code project. It was adapted to NetBSD by Juan
     Romero Pardines.
