The i.MX6UL CPU has an internal TEMPMON peripheral that is supported by Linux's Thermal Zone management. This sensor is embedded more toward the center of the die and therefore reads hotter than its ADC counterpart as it is meant to be reflective of the thermal state of the CPU for throttling control. This can be read similarly to the ADC counterpart above using sysfs (/sys). The following command returns the temperature in millicelsius:
cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
