31.Sh NAME
32.Nm amdtemp
33.Nd device driver for AMD K8, K10 and K11 on-die digital thermal sensor
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35To compile this driver into the kernel,
36place the following line in your
37kernel configuration file:
38.Bd -ragged -offset indent
39.Cd "device amdtemp"
40.Ed
41.Pp
42Alternatively, to load the driver as a
43module at boot time, place the following line in
44.Xr loader.conf 5 :
45.Bd -literal -offset indent
46amdtemp_load="YES"
47.Ed
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51driver provides support for the on-die digital thermal sensor present
52in AMD K8, K10 and K11 processors.
53.Pp
54For the K8 family, the
55.Nm
56driver reports each core's temperature through a sysctl node in the
57corresponding CPU devices's sysctl tree, named
58.Va dev.amdtemp.%d.sensor{0,1}.core{0,1} .
59The driver also creates
60.Va dev.cpu.%d.temperature
61displaying the maximum temperature of the two sensors
62located in each CPU core.
63.Pp
64For the K10 and K11 families, the driver creates
65.Va dev.cpu.%d.temperature
66with the temperature of each core.
67.Sh SEE ALSO
68.Xr sysctl 8
69.Sh HISTORY
70The
71.Nm
72driver first appeared in
73.Fx 7.1 .

77.Sh BUGS
78AMD K9 is not supported because temperature reporting has been replaced
79by Maltese.
