In the upcoming Linux 6.2 kernel development cycle, the new hardware driver will integrate the OneXPlayer sensor driver for hardware monitoring of x86_64 architecture game consoles. Although OneXPlayer handhelds use Windows by default, more and more players prefer Linux, especially SteamOS.
The main task of the OneXPlayer sensor/platform driver is to control the fan speed, which is managed by the device's embedded controller (EC).
The "exp-sensors" driver was previously limited to OneXPlayer handhelds with AMD processors, but during the Linux 6.2 development cycle, the driver supports reading and setting fan controls for the following gaming handhelds:
- AOK ZOE A1
- OneXPlayer AMD
- OneXPlayer mini AMD
- OneXPlayer mini AMD PRO
However, the driver still does not support Intel-based OneXPlayer devices at this stage. The AOK ZOE A1 is an OneXPlayer-like device with a Ryzen 7 6800U SoC, an 8-inch IPS screen, and runs Windows 11 by default.
The oxp-sensors driver supports these additional devices by adding different DMI strings. This patch will be integrated into the hwmon-next branch of the HWMON subsystem. This driver expanded the list of supported devices before being merged into Linux 6.2's Mianline.
