[REQUEST] Add support for PowerPC CPUs with internal thermal sensors #882

Open techflashYT opened 5 months ago

techflashYT commented 5 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When running btop on a machine with a PowerPC CPU that has an internal thermal sensor, such as my iBook G3, it does not report the approximate CPU temperature that the sensor gives.

Describe the solution you'd like Support reading /proc/cpuinfo to get the sensor value, as these machines don't export the sensor via the usual places (/sys/class/hwmon, /sys/class/thermal) An example output: [EDIT] - added output showing the typical directories where sensors would be, being empty.

Additional context btop on my iBook, over SSH for the purpose of a clean screenshot, not showing the CPU temperature, or CPU name for that matter. image This was tested on btop 1.3.0, the latest version packaged in the Debian PowerPC repositories at time of writing.

I would be open to provide any additional info, testing, or the like, on my hardware, if necessary.
