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?
