🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this driver gives you access to the Aladdin 15x3 Power Management Unit. Literally that’s the main-character job. 🌟

Right now, only the smbus controller function is implemented — that’s the currently active slay. ✨

The embedded SMBus controller of the Aladdin chipset may give you access to the monitoring facilities of your mainboard. See smb(4) for writing user code to fetch voltages, temperature and so on from the monitoring chip of your mainboard. It’s giving “look at your mainboard’s little status updates,” fr fr. 🔥
