1# phosphor-hwmon 2 3Exposes generic hwmon entries as DBus objects. More information can be found at 4[Sensor Architecture](https://github.com/openbmc/docs/blob/master/architecture/sensor-architecture.md) 5 6## To Build 7 8To build this package, do the following steps: 9 101. meson setup build 112. ninja -C build 12 13To clean the repository run `rm -rf build`. 14 15## D-Bus bus names 16 17To enable the use of Linux features like cgroups prioritization and udev/systemd 18control, one instance of phosphor-hwmon is intended to be run per hwmon sysfs 19class instance. 20 21This requires an algorithm for selecting a stable, well-known D-Bus busname. 22 23The algorithm is `<PREFIX>-<ID>.Hwmon<N>` where PREFIX is a meson configurable 24prefix (`BUSNAME_PREFIX=xyz.openbmc_project` by default), ID is either a 25`std::hash` of the `/sys/devices` path backing the hwmon class instance or 26provided suffix value from the command line, and N is the implemented 27phosphor-hwmon D-Bus API version. 28
