Jetson XavierNX température zones

Hi all,

I have some questions about the temperature inside the Jetson Xavier NX board.

To get the temperature value, I simply read the value stored in the file /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone<X>/temp in a C++ code.

The goal is to have a trace of the board’s state, with the temperature, the CPU/GPU usage…

I have two questions :

  • Wich hardware part is corresponding to the temperature zones 0 to 5
  • Why is the temperature zone 4 always at the same value (100000)

Thank’s,
Matteo Luci

Hi @matteoluci81

You can get the corresponding hardware zones by using:

cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone<X>/type

You may get something similar to this:

0: BCPU-therm
1: MCPU-therm
2: GPU-therm
3: PLL-therm
4: AO-therm
5: Tboard_tegra
6: Tdiode_tegra
7: PMIC-Die
8: thermal-fan-est

The types written above are for TX2.

With respect to the second question, it may be that the temperature is not valid. For example, in the jetson-stats project, they remove the PMIC temperature from the reports:
