For a formatted view of the sensor values, use the sensors command from the lm_sensors package in your Linux distribution.

Getting the lm_sensors Package

If the lm_sensors package is not already installed:

  • On RHEL or CentOS:
    # yum install lm_sensors
  • On Ubuntu:
    apt-get lm_sensors

Finding Device Names

By default, the sensors command shows sensors for all known devices. By filtering its output you can get a list of its names for all PCI adapters. For example:

$ sensors | grep --before-context=1 --color=never 'Adapter: PCI adapter'
xilinx_efct-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
--
xilinx_efct-pci-0101
Adapter: PCI adapter
--
xclmgmt_sysmon-pci-0600
Adapter: PCI adapter
--
xilinx_u25_gen3x8-ea_blp_1_mgmt-pci-0600
Adapter: PCI adapter
--
xilinx_u25_gen3x8-ea_blp_1_user-pci-0601
Adapter: PCI adapter

The list includes:

  • Devices for the Ethernet controller on the X3522 card
  • Further devices that are associated with other PCI adapters (if any).

Now identify the name for the Ethernet controller on the X3522 card:

  • Names that start with xilinx_efct (as above) identify devices that use the Solarflare xilinx_efct driver, including the Ethernet controller in the X3522.
  • On some platforms, the name for the Ethernet controller instead starts with its interface name (e.g., enp1s0f0np0).
  • Names usually end with the PCI device and function numbers (e.g.,0100), providing further confirmation.

Getting Output for a Specific Device

Then, to get output for a specific device pass its name to the sensors command. For example, for the Ethernet controller named xilinx_efct-pci-0100:

$ sensors xilinx_efct-pci-0100
xilinx_efct-pci-0100
