| # dbus-sensors |
| |
| dbus-sensors is a collection of sensor applications that provide the |
| xyz.openbmc_project.Sensor collection of interfaces. They read sensor values |
| from hwmon, d-bus, or direct driver access to provide readings. Some advance |
| non-sensor features such as fan presence, pwm control, and automatic cpu |
| detection (x86) are also supported. |
| |
| ## key features |
| |
| - runtime re-configurable from d-bus (entity-manager or the like) |
| |
| - isolated: each sensor type is isolated into its own daemon, so a bug in one |
| sensor is unlikely to affect another, and single sensor modifications are |
| possible |
| |
| - async single-threaded: uses sdbusplus/asio bindings |
| |
| - multiple data inputs: hwmon, d-bus, direct driver access |
