Lm_sensors on debian / rock5

ROCK 5 Series
1

I’ve noticed a few members using lm_sensors to check PD voltage…

Attempts to set this up using sensors-detect (with latest debian updates installed) gives

$ sudo sensors-detect
# sensors-detect version 3.6.0
# DMI data unavailable, please consider installing dmidecode 2.7
# or later for better results.
# Kernel: 5.10.66-28-rockchip-gc428536281d6 aarch64

Next adapter: rk3x-i2c (i2c-6)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Client found at address 0x51
Handled by driver `rtc-hym8563' (built-in), chip type `hym8563'
    (note: this is probably NOT a sensor chip!)

Next adapter: rk3x-i2c (i2c-7)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):

Is there a way to force the rk3x-i2c ? (or does someone have a good config I can copy from)

I just ran sensors without sensors-detect and its already there.

PD is showing 5v as its been bypassed with a dumb 12v psu.

OMG, I feel like an idiot. Yes, its already there… Thanks !

This is negotiated PD right ? Its not consuming that much right ??

Yep negotiated PD not actual.
If you get one of those little usb-c power meters on idle you will get about 1.5 watt.
nvme will bump a couple of watt.
Running stress-ng --cpu 8 --vm 8 --vm-bytes 256M with nvme currently has me 11.5 watt.
I have a dumb 12 psu so the PD means nothing but 11.84v 0.95 amp
The npu adds aprox 1watt per core and if mem served me right gpu at max is about 1 watt also.
