My problem with 12-bit reads degenerating to half-degree steps seems to be 
hiding since I built a new system with Ubuntu 14.04. I've only seen a few 
individual readings that looked "stuck" at the previous value since then, never 
full days of half-degree steps. 
 
But I still get two kinds of rare, occasional errors. There are the expected 
85C errors, and these:

I've never seen -62 errors before. All of them I've captured in detail match 
the above pattern, where the first byte string is all 'ff', and the second byte 
string matches the previous valid temperature exactly. 
 
What could be happening there? If the "t=" value is being derived from the byte 
string to the left of it, it should be the correct temperature. But it is 
always -62. 
 
Why are there two lines of bytes? Are they separate reads? 
 
 
Apparently there are supposed to be "statistics" somewhere, but I don't seem to 
have any. Here is all I find:
---
ubuntu@arm:/sys/devices/w1_bus_master1$ ls
28-0000008847d6  power      w1_master_add              w1_master_name     
w1_master_remove       w1_master_slaves
28-000000884d88  subsystem  w1_master_attempts         w1_master_pointer  
w1_master_search       w1_master_timeout
driver           uevent     w1_master_max_slave_count  w1_master_pullup   
w1_master_slave_count
---
 
Maybe the w1 interface doesn't provide statistics? 
 
 
Am I missing some source of deeper documentation than the web site provides?
