Hardware Detection

HWcontrol2.0 now exposes a normalized hardware identity view through the authenticated bridge.

Detected information

  • PC/system manufacturer, model and system version
  • BIOS vendor and version
  • motherboard manufacturer, model and version
  • CPU manufacturer, model, architecture, physical cores and logical threads
  • GPU vendor, model and driver information
  • detection source and detection status

Platform backends

  • Windows: CIM/WMI via PowerShell
  • Linux: DMI/sysfs/proc with optional lspci enrichment
  • macOS: sysctl and ioreg

Privacy

Hardware serial numbers are deliberately excluded from the identity model. Diagnostic output should also pass through the existing secret/path redaction layer before export.

Status semantics

  • ok: primary hardware identity was detected
  • partial: the platform backend returned incomplete information
  • unavailable: the platform backend could not be queried
  • unsupported: no platform-specific detector is available

Detection is informational. It does not imply that fan control or any other hardware-control capability is supported on the detected device.
