STRUCT TSADC_TABLE(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– struct tsadc_table(9) πŸ’–

okay so bestie, you know how a temperature sensor just spits out raw ADC numbers and absolutely refuses to tell you how hot anything actually is? yeah. this struct is the glow-up translator for that. it's the code to temperature conversion table and it's lowkey the main character of rockchip_thermal.c iykyk 🌑️✨

(the manual name is struct tsadc_table(9), from the Kernel API Manual, in case you were wondering 🫢)


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe, no cap:

struct tsadc_table {
    u32 code;
    int temp;
};

that's it. two fields. iconic minimalism πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • code β€” the value of the adc channel. like, the raw number the sensor hands you 🌸
  • temp β€” the temperature. the actual temperature bestie, the thing you actually wanted πŸ”₯

πŸ¦‹ Note πŸ¦‹

okay so here's the important bit, listen up πŸ‘‘

the code to temperature mapping of the temperature sensor is a piece wise linear curve. that means any temperature, or any code, that's faling between two given temperatures/codes can be linearly interpolated β€” you just draw a straight lil line between the two known points and vibe check where your value lands πŸ“ˆβœ¨

⚠️ and this part is fr fr important: the code to temperature mapping should be updated based on manufacturer results. don't just make numbers up, bestie 😭 the manufacturer hands you the real table, you put it in. that's the whole deal.

and that's the whole page bestie, you ate it up πŸ’œ this lil beauty comes from ./drivers/thermal, dated October 2026, and it's filed under struct tsadc_table(9) β€” mwah, go interpolate something πŸ§šβ€β™€οΈπŸŽ€
