Hello,
Following the Fabian Arrotin recommendation, I open here the request to
include the 'raspberrypi-vc' package into the CentOS 7 EPEL repository,
or in the main tree.
This package includes a command called 'vcgencmd' which offers a set of
interesting values of the Raspberry Pi board; e.g. its temperature.
Check here <http://www.elinux.org/RPI_vcgencmd_usage> for more information.
I've downloaded the SRPM package from here
<http://www.squeezecommunity.org/repo/fedora/24/pi/SRPMS/raspberrypi-vc-20160705-501.git0b8c195.fc24.src.rpm>,
and I realized that it was pretty easy to build on a full-updated CentOS
7 (kernel 4.4.14-v7).
The following are the small modifications I made on the .spec file to
accomplish it:
--- raspberrypi-vc.spec 2016-07-05 23:23:13.000000000 +0200
+++ raspberrypi-vc.spec.ok 2016-07-13 12:14:39.494059817 +0200

The installation worked finely:
# [root at rpi3 armv7hl]# rpm -ivh
raspberrypi-vc-utils-20160705-501.git0b8c195.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm
raspberrypi-vc-libs-20160705-501.git0b8c195.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm

Then a simple command to get the temperature:
[root at rpi3 ~]# vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=47.2'C
Thanks.
