rule

Description

A rule is a sequence of actions that can be shared by multiple regulators in the config file. Rules define a standard way to perform an operation. Rules are used to minimize duplication in the config file.

For example, the following action sequences might be sharable using a rule:

• Actions that set the output voltage of a regulator rail
• Actions that read all the sensors of a regulator rail
• Actions that detect down-level hardware using version registers
• Actions that detect phase faults

Properties

Name	Required	Type	Description
comments	no	array of strings	One or more comment lines describing this rule.
id	yes	string	Unique ID for this rule. Can only contain letters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), and underscore (_).
actions	yes	array of actions	One or more actions to execute.

Return Value

Return value of the last action in the "actions" property.

Example

{
  "comments": [ "Sets output voltage of PAGE 0 of a PMBus regulator" ],
  "id": "set_page0_voltage_rule",
  "actions": [
    { "i2c_write_byte": { "register": "0x00", "value": "0x00" } },
    { "pmbus_write_vout_command": { "format": "linear" } }
  ]
}

... later in the config file ...

"configuration": {
  "volts": 1.03,
