🌸 NAME 🌸

rktemp — Rockchip temperature monitor 🥵🌡️

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rktemp* at fdt?

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. one line. iconic. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the rktemp driver is the literal main character for the temperature sensor situation — it provides support for the temperature sensor found on the Rockchip RK3288, RK3308, RK3328, RK3399, RK356x and RK3588 SoCs 🔥

and ngl it's kind of a protective bestie?? because it configures the SoC to reset itself if the temperature raises above a certain temperature 😭 like it will literally pull the plug to protect the chip from damage caused by overheating. that's not toxic, that's self-care 🫶

sensor values are made available through the sysctl(8) interface ✨ so you can peek at them, no cap 👀
