Nouveau - Sep 2011 - [Bug 40894] New: nv30-/temperature: Reverse engineer the temperature coefficients

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40894

           Summary: nv30-/temperature: Reverse engineer the temperature
                    coefficients
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/nouveau
        AssignedTo: nouveau at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: martin.peres at ensi-bourges.fr
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


We currently have some bits of knowledge about temperature management on cards
up to nv40, but it doesn't seem to work on every card.

The work that needs to be done is understand how the temperature table entries
in the vbios influence the proprietary driver's temperature readings.

What is needed is to install the envytools
(https://github.com/pathscale/envytools/tree/), get your vbios using
nvagetbios, parse it with nvbios, get the address of the temperature table,
edit this table with an hex editor, upload it using nvafakebios, load the
nvidia module and then launch the blob and check how your changes affected the
temperature reading.

Then, exit X, rmmod nvidia and start again at the hex editor step ;)

--- Comment #1 from Ilia Mirkin <imirkin at alum.mit.edu> ---
It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we
haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty
good
that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot.
(Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git
versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your
distro's
bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report.

In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs
that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please
make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/
for what we need to see, and re-open this one.

Thanks,

The Nouveau Team
