3.6.8Thermal Control Methods

Control methods and objects related to thermal management are listed in the table below.

Object

Description

_ACx

Returns Active trip point in tenths Kelvin

 

 

_ALx

List of pointers to active cooling device objects

 

 

_CRT

Returns critical trip point in tenths Kelvin

 

 

_PSL

List of pointers to passive cooling device objects

 

 

_PSV

Returns Passive trip point in tenths Kelvin

 

 

_SCP

Sets user cooling policy (Active or Passive)

 

 

_TC1

Thermal constant for Passive cooling

 

 

_TC2

Thermal constant for Passive cooling

 

 

_TMP

Returns current temperature in tenths Kelvin

 

 

_TSP

Thermal sampling period for Passive cooling in tenths of seconds

 

 

z_Acx

This control method returns the temperature at which the OS must start or stop Active cooling, where x is a value between 0 and 9 that designates multiple active cooling levels of the thermal zone. If the Active cooling device has one cooling level (that is, n”) then that cooling level is named _AC0. If the cooling device has two levels of capability, such as a high fan speed and a low fan speed, then they are named _AC0 and _AC1 respectively. The smaller the value of x, the greater the cooling strength _ACx represents. In the above example, _AC0 represents the greater level of cooling (the faster fan speed) and _AC1 represents the lesser level of cooling (the slower fan speed). For every ACx method, there must be a matching ALx method.

Arguments: None.

Result Code: Temperature in tenths Kelvin

The result code is an integer value that describes up to 0.1 precisions in Kelvin. For example, 300.0K are represented by the integer 3000.

z_ALx

This object evaluates to a list of Active cooling devices to be turned on when the associated _ACx trip point is exceeded. For example, these devices could be fans.

z_CRT

This control method returns the critical temperature at which the OS must shutdown the system.

Arguments: None.

Result Code: Temperature in tenths Kelvin
