If you are using the stock kernel then the use this code to display temperature:

Code:

echo `cat /sys/devices/platform/omap34xx_temp/temp1_input` °C

However the values reported by above are not very accurate.I would recommend you install the enhanced power kernel from the repos (Overclocking is not enabled by default so you can use it safely) and use the code below to read temperature:

Code:

echo `cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/temp` °C

To get the temperature working in the first place:

Code:

sudo gainroot
modprobe bq27x00_battery

The above will load the temperature module.

To get it to load on boot

Code:

echo bq27x00_battery >> /etc/modules
