Board Thermal Management
The COMX-CORE-2610-ET provides several thermal management strategies that
includes monitoring CPU junction temperature and board PCB temperature. The board can
take corresponding action to protect the system from catastrophic overheating.

A thermal transistor is embedded in the processor. The EC chip NCT7802Y can read the
thermal sensor temperature through PECI signal. System can get the temperature data
through SMBus from EC chip.
