- 2. Consult individual board hardware manual or the Linux device-tree for a description of what voltage rail this is and what voltage divider is applied in order to scale it. The Newport Linux kernel and BDK use information from the Linux Device-tree to scale and name these ADC's. Note also that Vin (Board Input voltage) is evaluated at the board's primary power supply input and offset by an estimated diode drop and thus may differ from your actual power supply within a volt or so.

Once scaled you can use {{{<scaled adc value> * 2500 / 4096}}} (2.5V ref/12 bit ADC) to calculate your ADC reading in mV.

 A Linux 'Hardware Monitor' ({{{hwmon}}}) driver is available  which provides simple standard access to the above temperature/voltage registers via sysfs. The arguments have been given labels which define the source. The user can “cat” the label to determine the source. The hwmon will be found in /sys/class/hwmon/hwmonx where x is a number. Check all hwmonx directories, starting with x=0 and then x=1 until identifying the correct hwmon where the values are contained.
