(In my experience people who aren't already familiar with it tend to think something's wrong when a CPU temperature reading shows -50C.)All attributes shall follow the ABI, and the driver must translate reported values to degrees C. If those sensors do not follow the ABI and report something else, I won't accept the driver. Guenter
Sure, I believe all attributes already follow the ABI and the reported values are in millidegree Celsius. Thanks -Iwona
