Is there any nifty utility for QNX4 that lets you access the
CPU temperature or the fan speed?

Yes and know it all depends on the motherboard you have.
Very few motherboard support control of fan speed.
I’ve written one for BP6 (with fan speed control)
I know someone who has with lm78 based motherboard
And there is one at

I am in the very early stages of porting the Linux sensors package to
QNX6. I have ported all of the infrastructure into .so’s, and I have a
resource manager framework. So far I have 1 .so for the PIIX4 SMBus
controller, and 1 .so for the Winbond sensor chip. The PIIX4 appears to
be working OK (the detect routine finds it, and correctly detects what
interrupt it is on), however, I have yet to get it detect the winbond
chip on the SMBus. I have only spent a few hours on this so far, and I
don’t have a lot of time to spend on this, so if someone would like to
take what I already have and run with it, I would be thrilled.
The benefit of the approach of porting the Linux sensors package (and
providing the infrastructure, is that you instantly get access to
practically every piece of hardware on the planet, and porting new
drivers will be very easily (typically less than 15 minutes).

We have plans to implement CPU temperature warning feature for a late stage
of our project.
If you are willing to share you results, we will try to continue.
