How To

Requirements

Mandatory,

  • The GNU/Linux x86_64 3.x : linux
  • The GNU Compiler Collection: gcc - or - The C language family frontend for LLVM: clang
  • Being root !
  • The Intel(R) Core(TM) i7, i5 Processors


Optionally,


Compiling 

$ gcc coremod.c -o coremod

- or - 

$ clang coremod.c -o coremod


Debugging

First of all, compile sources with the -g switch then launch the debugger

$ kdesu ddd ./coremod


Usage

Two kernel modules must be loaded

  1. msr
  2. dmi-sysfs


Execute CoreMod as root 

# ./coremod


Usage is straightforward. Just enter the corresponding initial character to the function you want to execute. Thus to show the core temperature, press the following keys:

  • [s]
  • [Enter]
  • [c]
  • [Enter]

And for instance to go back to previous menu level:

  • [<]
  • [Enter]
