Subject: [lm-sensors] Question: hwmon: adding addition features
Date: Sat, 10 May 2014 11:08:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140510130432.GA28301@awedesk.fritz.box> (raw)
Hi,
i am currently working on an implemenation of my Board Management Controller (BMC).
This Controller is a MCR assembled on almost all of our Compact PCI or Compact PCI Serial
Cards as well as on some other CPU Boards.
The BMC includes LED´s, Watchdog, Voltage Monitoring and some other features.
I have already implemented an MFD driver, LED and Watchdog driver.
Currently i am working on the hwmon implemenation. This includes for the first step the
voltage monitoring.
The BMC has some other feature which are not supported by any of the subsystem.
- Errorcounter (Board status)
- Power Failure status
- Operating ours
- Do software reset, do cold reset
- Set power modes
- Backplate Geographical Address
These are all informations related to the Board where the BMC is assembled to.
I think all those features could be part of the hwmon implementation.
Is it possible to add "custom" sysfs entries in my hwmon driver to support all these features?
Does lm-sensor ingore those custom features or is it a problem for lm-sensors?
What is the normal way to add those features?
Regards
Andy
