Out of curiosity, how does the 1.15y sense temperature?

only the version 2 of this board has temp sensors!

Yes, the version 2 of the board, is it sensing the die temperature? The board temperature near the FPGA? Does it somehow sense the temperature of the heat sink?

No i don't think so. He might have placed the sensor near to the FPGA or under it. To my knowledge the FPGAs used on those boards do not have  an inbuilt on die temp sensor?!

Maybe Ztex can explain this?

No there is not an inbuilt on die temperature sensor, which is a surprise really.
