Thanks for your prompt feedback. So we don't have much more information about
the sensor. :(

I will try to get information from Marvell.


Tyler,
In the meantime could you double check your values? The temperature on my board
seemed broken on my board. If needed I can check on an other board. By the way
on which board/product did you try it?


Thanks,

Gregory
