OneXPlayer produces a line of handheld gaming consoles powered by AMD or Intel SoCs. These devices ship with Windows out-of-the-box but given they are x86_64 software have worked alright with Linux and there's been a OneXPlayer Linux driver for supporting sensor readings and other device-specific information from these handhelds. In a big patch series this weekend, that OneXPlayer Linux driver is catching up to its official Windows counterpart.

Antheas Kapenekakis posted the newest set of patches to the "onexpsensors" hardware monitoring (HWMON) driver to help it catch-up to the Windows driver support. Kapenekakis explained in that patch cover letter:

"This four part series updates the oxpsensors module to bring it in line with its Windows OneXPlayer counterpart. First, it adds support for all 2024, 2025 OneXPlayer handhelds and their special variants.

Then, it adds the new charge limiting and bypass features that were first introduced in the X1 and retrofit to older OneXFly variants and for controlling the turbo led found in the X1 models. For Bypass, it adds a new bypass variant BypassS0 that is only active while the device is in the S0 state."

Compared to the original iteration of these patches posted back in December, the OneXPlayer X1 Pro and F1 Pro handhelds are now supported. Plus there has been documentation updates and some fixes.
