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.
-
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
