I don't know personally, but I'd say it's highly unlikely, given Apple classes its thermal management as important IP for a feature that distinguishes itself from the competition (and the recent fan control & power management kexts haven't been open-sourced).
Don't hold your breath. Perhaps Kevin could confirm this? :-)
Well, the core thermal management is open sourced as it's part of the platform plugins... What is not are the low level drivers that interface to the various HW chips (mostly i2c sensors etc...), most of them having available specs, it makes little sense imho.... SMU is important for more than just thermal management anyway (and probably doesn't contain any thermal management policy per-se, just the ability to send messages to the fan control unit I suppose). However, it's also the required interface to machine restart/shutdown, real rime clock, sleep mode, etc... Ben. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
