AMD k10 Modules – Temp Sensor
Jun 20th
They say the AMD k10 support will be rolled into the k8 modules. Whatever they do in new, upcoming package is independent of chipset support now. After some painful seaching to get the source code for the k10 chipset I found this blog post http://blog.morrigan.ch/?p=9. It is not an easy to find post but it does walk you through the compilation and installation of the modules. I will repost it here because my blog is very easy to find on the internet due to great Google indexing. First download the make file: Makefile Download the source: k10temp Make sure you have build-essential installed:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Run:
make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd)
Copy to the appropriate system folder;
cp k10temp.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/hwmon
Load the module:
sudo depmod && sudo modprobe k10temp
Reboot. Install gnome-sensors and you can view the temperature of your system as a convenient applet in your top panel!
