Description
The System Monitor, HW_SYSMON, is an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) circuit on AMD devices, used to measure operating conditions such as temperature and voltage. The HW_SYSMON monitors the physical environment via on-chip temperature and supply sensors. The ADC provides a high-precision analog interface for a range of applications. The ADC can access up to 17 external analog input channels.
The HW_SYSMON has data registers, or HW_SYSMON_REG objects, that store the current values of temperatures and voltages. The values in these registers on the current hw_device can be accessed through the Hardware Manager feature of the Vivado Design Suite, when connected to a hardware server and target. The HW_SYSMON varies between AMD Virtex™ 7 devices and AMD UltraScale™ devices. Refer to the UltraScale Architecture System Monitor User Guide (UG580) or the 7 Series FPGAs and Zynq 7000 SoC XADC Dual 12-Bit 1 MSPS Analog-to-Digital Converter User Guide (UG480) or for more information on the specific registers of the XADC and how to address them.
Although you can use the get_hw_sysmon_reg command to access the hex values stored in registers
of a system monitor, you can also retrieve values of certain registers as formatted
properties of the hw_sysmon object. For example, the following code retrieves the
TEMPERATURE property of the specified hw_sysmon object rather than directly
accessing the hex value of the register:
get_property TEMPERATURE [get_hw_sysmons]Related Objects
The HW_SYSMON object can be found in the Hardware Manager on the programmed hw_device, on the current hw_target and hw_server. You can query the hw_sysmon of the hw_device as follows:
get_hw_sysmons -of [get_hw_devices]Properties
You can use the report_property command to report the actual
properties assigned to HW_SYSMON objects. Refer to the
Vivado
Design Suite Tcl Command Reference Guide (UG835) for more information.
To report the properties for the HW_SYSMON you can copy and paste the following command into the Vivado Design Suite Tcl shell or Tcl Console:
report_property -all [lindex [get_hw_sysmons] 0]The following are the properties found on the hw_sysmon object:
