Subject: Monitoring CPU temperature for small IOC

Hello all
I have a Linux based IOC running on a dedicated small hardware platform (Atom CPU in Mini-ITX form factor) We would like this to have no moving parts, which means monitoring the CPU state becomes critical on hot summer days. Is there support for monitoring CPU temperatures using the /proc/acpi service? It seems like this would be something that devIocStats could provide, but perhaps it is too system dependent.

Is there an easy way to collect information from the IOC host system and place it into PVs? Regular reading of /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM will give an updated CPU core temperature, but it is not clear to me how to place this into a PV.

Thanks in advance.

David
