Hardware Probe is a tool to probe for hardware, check its operability and find drivers.

Libcpuid is a small C library to get vendor, model, branding string, code name and other information from x86 CPU. This library is not to be confused with the cpuid command line utility from package cpuid.

libsmbios provides a library to interface with the SMBIOS tables. It also provides extensions for proprietary methods of interfacing with Dell specific SMBIOS tables.

OpenHMD aims to provide an API and drivers for immersive technology, such as head mounted displays with built in head tracking.

The MSR Tools project provides console utilities to directly access the Model-Specific Registers (MSRs) and CPU ID of Intel-compatible processors:

• cpuid: show identification and feature information of any CPU

• rdmsr: read MSRs from any CPU or all CPUs

• wrmsr: write to MSRs on any CPU or all CPUs

These tools can be used to query and modify certain low-level CPU parameters, such as the Turbo Boost ratio and Thermal Design Power (TDP) limits.

MSR addresses differ (greatly) between processors, and any such modification can be dangerous and may void your CPU or system board's warranty.

The i7z utility accurately measures the current frequency and temperature of older Intel Core (i3, i5, and i7) processors including the Nehalem, Sandy Bridge, and Ivy Bridge generations. Reliable support for newer CPUs is not guaranteed, as this package has not seen significant development since 2013.

If your processor is supported, you'll get detailed reports on Turbo Boost and clock multipliers, core voltage, and time spent in different C-states. This information can be viewed in real time and/or logged to a file.

ddcui is a graphical user interface for ddcutil, implemented using Qt. It provide a dynamic way to inspect and configure external monitors through the Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) protocol.

This library offers a simple API for communicating with instruments compatible with the LXI standard that defines communication protocols for instrumentation and data acquisition systems using Ethernet. Applications can use liblxi to discover instruments on your network, send SCPI commands, and receive responses.

Memtester stress-tests the memory subsystem of your operating system and computer. It repeatedly writes different patterns to all memory locations, reads them back again, and verifies whether the result is the same as what was written. This can help debug even intermittent and non-deterministic errors.

Memtester runs entirely in user space. This means that you don't need to reboot to test your memory, but also that it's not possible to test all of the RAM installed in the system.

It can also be told to test memory starting at a particular physical address.

edid-decode decodes EDID monitor description data in human-readable format and checks if it conforms to the standards.

Liquidctl is a package with tools, drivers and a Python library to work with liquid cooling equipment such as AIO coolers, fan controllers and other devices.

Read temperature from usbtemp.com USB thermometer and DS9097E compatible 1-wire adapter with one DS18B20 digital probe attached through command line interface.

OpenRGB is lighting control that doesn't depend on manufacturer software. ASUS, ASRock, Corsair, G.Skill, Gigabyte, HyperX, MSI, Razer, ThermalTake, and more supported.

Features:

• Set colors and select effect modes for a wide variety of RGB hardware

• Save and load profiles

• Control lighting from third party software using the OpenRGB SDK

• Command line interface

• Connect multiple instances of OpenRGB to synchronize lighting across multiple PCs

• Can operate standalone or in a client/headless server configuration

• View device information

• No official/manufacturer software required

• Graphical view of device LEDs makes creating custom patterns easy

This package provides tools for LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation based on the LXI Consortium standard which defines the communication protocols for modern instrumentation and data acquision systems using Ethernet.

Deskflow is a keyboard and mouse sharing app. Use the keyboard, mouse,or trackpad of one computer to control nearby computers, and work seamlessly between them. It's like a software KVM (but without the video). TLS encryption is enabled by default. It supports Wayland clipboard sharing.

This is a program for testing the quality of CRT/LCD screens. It displays various patterns and allows you to estimate the quality of your CRT/LCD monitor.

This is the Python extension to usbrelay, a Linux driver based on hidapi for a variety of inexpensive HID compatible USB relay modules. This package also includes usbrelayd.

HwInfo is used to probe for the hardware present in the system. It can be used to generate a system overview log which can be later used for support.

Hueplusplus is a library for controlling Philips Hue lights. Features:

• find bridges with SSDP or set an ip manually

• all common light functions (brightness, color, temperature)

• extended alert() functions, which alert in a specific color (good for notifications)

• supports sensors, rules, groups, scenes and schedules

• streaming with entertainment mode

• documented with doxygen

The h-node project (https://www.h-node.org) aims to build a database of hardware that works with fully free operating systems. h-client is a GTK+ graphical client that is able to retrieves information on the hardware inside the computer it's running on, and on peripherals connected to it, and helps you submit that information to the h-node project along with whether the hardware works with a fully free operating system or not.

Brillo is a command line tool to control the brightness of backlight and LED devices on Linux.

Notable features include:

• Automatic best controller detection

• Smooth transitions and natural brightness adjustments

• Ability to save and restore brightness across boots

• Directly using sysfs to set brightness without relying on X

• Unprivileged access with no new setuid binaries

• Containment with AppArmor

This is a Linux driver based on hidapi for a variety of inexpensive HID compatible USB relay modules available with different number of output relays.

Rkdeveloptool can read from and write to RockChip devices over USB, such as the Pinebook Pro.
