6 Commits • 5 Features
Feb 1, 2026February 2026 performance summary for facebook/fboss platform. Delivered baseline and extended hardware service configurations for WEDGE800 platforms, enabling reliable monitoring, control, and firmware management across fan, sensor, LED presence, and BSP regression workflows. Implemented JSON-driven configurations, validated with platform_manager, sensor_service_hw_test, threshold_checker, and data_corral_service tests, reducing risk in production releases and accelerating platform validation. Addressed critical reliability issues in sensor enumeration, LED presence indicators, and firmware upgrade/downgrade workflows. These workstreams converge to improve platform stability, reduce field incidents, and enable safer firmware updates.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025: Delivered Incremental PID-Based Dynamic Fan Speed Control with Real-Time Thermal Feedback for fboss (facebook/fboss). Replaced the static 60% PWM with dynamic, temperature-driven fan control spanning fan_service, sensor_service, and platform_manager. Implemented SP4 power control enablement by updating platform_manager.json (SMB CPLD address: 0x3e -> 0x33). Introduced and applied PWM calculation strategies per component: OPTIC_AGGREGATION_TYPE_INCREMENTAL_PID, SENSOR_PWM_CALC_TYPE_INCREMENTAL_PID for CPU_UNCORE_TEMP, SENSOR_PWM_CALC_TYPE_INCREMENTAL_PID for asic_temp, and SENSOR_PWM_CALC_TYPE_FOUR_LINEAR_TABLE for SCM_INLET_U36_TEMP, plus SP4 shutdown conditioning for safe power-down. Executed end-to-end validation including dynamic response to temperature changes, fan failure recovery (fan1..8), and SP4 shutdown path. This work improves thermal responsiveness, reduces risk of thermal throttling, and strengthens system reliability across fboss-powered platforms.
