Forum Topic - Is there a utility in QNX to read CMOS registers: (2 Items)
   
Is there a utility in QNX to read CMOS registers  
Is there a QNX utility to read cmos registers on x86 machines to check
environmental parameters (temperature, fan status,etc) ?  any 3rd party
utility?

Thanks

Hi Dave,

As far as I know there is no utility in QNX4 to read temperature and fan 
status from CMOS. Registers of x86 CMOS don't contain any temperature or 
fan status data. I think if this information exists then it's hardware 
(BIOS) specific. You can write your own utility for your specific board 
because access to the CMOS area isn't difficult.
