[lm-sensors] set min/max volt for it8712...

[fred]

Hi all,

I want to set min/max voltage for Vcore 1 (in0) and +3.3V (in1).

From /etc/sensors.conf :

chip "it8712-*"

    label in0 "VCore 1"
    set in0_min 1.4 * 0.95
    set in0_max 1.4 * 1.05
    label in1 "+3.3V"
    set in1_min 3.3 * 0.95
    set in1_max 3.3 * 1.05

sensors displays :
it8712-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore 1:   +1.42 V  (min =  +4.08 V, max =  +4.08 V)   ALARM
+3.3V:     +3.30 V  (min =  +4.08 V, max =  +4.08 V)   ALARM
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+5V:       +4.95 V  (min =  +4.76 V, max =  +5.24 V)
+12V:     +12.16 V  (min = +11.39 V, max = +12.61 V)
Stdby:     +3.04 V  (min =  +2.85 V, max =  +3.15 V)

What's wrong ?

Thanks in advance.

What is wrong, I suspect, is that you read neither sensors' manual page
nor lm_sensors' FAQ.

Hmmm, I suspect you're right ;-)
Ok, I didn't read it (lm_sensors' FAQ).
Read only man page & /etc/sensors.conf and hoped that it would be
sufficient.
But I'm not really wrong : now, I don't know why, but after reboot, all
works fine :
volts, fan, temp, DDR2, all in xsensors.

Thx.

See FAQ 4.14.1:
http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html#Section-4_002e14

Also from sensors' manual page:
       -s     Evaluates all `set' statements in the  configuration  file.  You
              must  probably  be  `root'  to do this. If this parameter is not
              specified, no `set' statement is evaluated.

I guess that your initialization scripts include a call to "sensors
-s", which is why rebooting seemed to magically solve the problem.

Ok, thanks.
I was restarting /etc/init.d/sensord and not /etc/init.d/lm-sensors.
