regulators: Add Sensors service

Define the abstract base class Sensors.  This class represents a service
that maintains a list of voltage regulator sensors.

This service makes the voltage regulator sensors available to other BMC
applications.  For example, the Redfish support obtains sensor data from
this service.

Each voltage rail in the system may provide multiple types of sensor
data, such as temperature, output voltage, and output current.  A sensor
tracks one of these data types for a voltage rail.

Also define a concrete subclass MockSensors used for test cases.

Overview

This repository contains applications for configuring and monitoring devices that deliver power to the system.

  • cold-redundancy: Application that makes power supplies work in Cold Redundancy mode and rotates them at intervals.
  • phosphor-power-sequencer: Applications for configuring and monitoring power sequencer and related devices that support JSON-driven configuration.
  • phosphor-power-supply: Next generation power supply monitoring application.
  • phosphor-regulators: JSON-driven application that configures and monitors voltage regulators.
  • power-sequencer: A power sequencer monitoring application.
  • power-supply: Original power supply monitoring application.
  • tools/power-utils: Power supply utilities.

Build

To build all applications in this repository:

  meson build
  ninja -C build

To clean the repository and remove all build output:

  rm -rf build

You can specify meson options to customize the build process. For example, you can specify:

  • Which applications to build and install.
  • Application-specific configuration data, such as power sequencer type.
  • Whether to build tests.

Power Supply Monitor and Util JSON config

Several applications in this repository require a PSU JSON config to run. The JSON config file provides information for:

  • Where to access the pmbus attributes
  • Which attribute file in pmbus maps to which property and interface in D-Bus
  • Which kernel device directory is used on which PSU

There is an example psu.json to describe the necessary configurations.

  • inventoryPMBusAccessType defines the pmbus access type, which tells the service which sysfs type to use to read the attributes. The possible values are:
    • Base: The base dir, e.g. /sys/bus/i2c/devices/3-0069/
    • Hwmon: The hwmon dir, e.g. /sys/bus/i2c/devices/3-0069/hwmon/hwmonX/
    • Debug: The pmbus debug dir, e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/pmbus/hwmonX/
    • DeviceDebug: The device debug dir, e.g. '/sys/kernel/debug/./`
    • HwmonDeviceDebug: The hwmon device debug dir, e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/pmbus/hwmonX/cffps1/
  • fruConfigs defines the mapping between the attribute file and the FRU inventory interface and property. The configuration example below indicates that the service will read part_number attribute file from a directory specified by the above pmbus access type, and assign to PartNumber property in xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Decorator.Asset interface.
      "fruConfigs": [
        {
          "propertyName": "PartNumber",
          "fileName": "part_number",
          "interface": "xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Decorator.Asset"
        }
      ]
    
  • psuDevices defines the kernel device dir for each PSU in inventory. The configuration example below indicates that powersupply0's device is located in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/3-0069.
      "psuDevices": {
        "/xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/system/chassis/motherboard/powersupply0" : "/sys/bus/i2c/devices/3-0069",
      }
