Hardware sensor of OpenBlockS A series¶
I could get CPU temparature with lm-sensors, and storage temparature with hddtemp. I wrote blog post about hardware sensor at this entry.
CPU temparature¶
Firstly you should install “lm-sensors” package.
$ sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
lm-sensors has sensors command and sensors-detect command. The former prints sensors information, the latter is enable to detect hardware monitoring chips.
sensors command¶
This command is only enable to get CPU temparagure at OpenBlockS AX3. But it seems you can not get the correct values with the latest firmware (kernel-image 3.0.6-8)
kernel image 3.0.6-3¶
$ sensors
axp-hwmon-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
T-junction: +54.5°C (low = +10.0°C, high = +105.0°C) sensor = thermal dioed
kernel iamge 3.0.6-8¶
$ sensors
axp-hwmon-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
T-junction: +0.1°C (low = +0.0°C, high = +0.1°C) sensor = thermal diode
OpenBlockS A6 is disable to use sensors.
$ sensors
No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.
sensors-detect command¶
This command is disable to detect any monitoring chips of OpenBlockS A6 and AX3 kernel provided by Plat’Home. On the contrary kernel internal error is occured if you enter YES unconditionally in OpenBlockS AX3.
$ sudo sensors-detect

Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):

scanning occurs kernel internal error is following.
Super I/O sensors
IPMI interfaces
ISA I/O ports
OpenBlockS A6 does not occures kernel internal error, but scanning mv64xxx_i2c adopter is not reacted (to stop with SIGINT).
Storage temparature¶
You should install “hddtemp” package.
$ sudo apt-get install hddtemp
debconf setting is like as following.
SUID root: no
interval of check temparature: 0
daemon: yes
listen IP address: 127.0.0.1
port: 7634
hddtemp reads temparature with “S.M.A.R.T.”. It is supported by the following storage;
HalfSlim SSD 16GB MLC installed at OpenBlockS A6 product version and OpenBlockS AX3 rented
MLC SSD 128GB(PH-128G/SSDMA/AX3) installed OpenBlockS AX3 purchased
HalfSlim SSD¶
$ sudo hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: MRSAJ5A016GC118C00: 40 C
PH-128GB¶
$ sudo hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: ADATA SP900: 27 C
You can do health check storage if you install “smartmontools” package and use smartctl command.
I2C¶
You should install i2c-tools package.
$ sudo apt-get install i2c-tools
Execute “i2cdetect command” to detect I2C chips.
OpenBlockS AX3¶
$ sudo i2cdetect -l
i2c-0 i2c mv64xxx_i2c adapter I2C adapter
i2c-1 i2c mv64xxx_i2c adapter I2C adapter
$ sudo i2cdetect -y 0

Execute sensors-detect of lm-sensors.
$ sudo sensors-detect

Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): yes
Sorry, no supported PCI bus adapters found.
Next adapter: mv64xxx_i2c adapter (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Client found at address 0x50
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1033'... No
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'... No
Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... No
Probing for `EDID EEPROM'... No

OpenBlockS A6¶
“sudo i2cdetect -y 0” is very very slowly at OpenBlockS A6.
$ sudo i2cdetect -l
i2c-0 i2c mv64xxx_i2c adapter I2C adapter
$ sudo i2cdetect -y 0
