Summary
OpenAI's coding agent, Codex GPT-5.5, helped create a new AMD temperature driver for Linux. This new open-source driver, called prom21-xhci, exposes temperature sensors on AMD Promontory 21 chipsets' xHCI controllers. These chipsets are found in AMD's 600 and 800 series AM5 chipsets. The driver was developed by Jihong Min and is currently under review. It allows the Promontory 21 xHCI temperature sensor to work with existing Linux tools through the hardware monitoring subsystem. This provides a new way to monitor temperatures close to the chipset itself. This development shows how AI tools are contributing to open-source software.
