In the upcoming Linux 6.2 kernel development cycle, the OneXPlayer sensor driver will be integrated in the new hardware driver for hardware monitoring of x86_64 architecture gaming handhelds. Although the OneXPlayer handheld uses Windows by default, there is a growing number of gamers who prefer Linux and especially want to run SteamOS.

The main task of the OneXPlayer sensor/platform driver is to control the fan speed, which is managed by the device’s embedded controller (EC).
The “exp-sensors” driver was previously limited to the OneXPlayer handheld with an AMD processor, but during the Linux 6.2 development cycle, the driver supports reading and setting fan controls for the following gaming handhelds:
AOK ZOE A1
OneXPlayer AMD
OneXPlayer mini AMD
OneXPlayer mini AMD PRO
However, the driver still does not support Intel-based OneXPlayer devices at this stage. The AOK ZOE A1 is an OneXPlayer-like device with a Ryzen 7 6800U SoC, an 8-inch IPS screen, and runs Windows 11 by default.
The oxp-sensors driver supports these additional devices by adding different DMI strings, the patch will be merged into the hwmon-next branch of the HWMON subsystem. This driver expanded the list of supported devices before being merged into Mianline in Linux 6.2.
