2.3. Monitor On-Board Sensors Using OPAE

Use the fpgainfo command line program to gather the temperature and power sensor data from the Board Management Controller. You can use this program with the Acceleration Stack 1.2 and beyond. For Acceleration Stack 1.1 or older, use the BWMonitor tool as described in the next section.

  • To gather the temperature data: 
    bash-4.2$ fpgainfo temp
