A new development in the world of Linux has emerged, as it is now being considered to include a processor for response to hypothermia. Linux, which is commonly used for built-in systems, is known for its ability to track overheating. However, the possibility of tracking the hypothermia of the system has also gained attention, along with the ability to track the Thermal subsystem. Two new events, Thermal_trip_cold and Thermal_trip_critical_cold, have been introduced as analogs to the existing events, Thermal_trip_hot and Thermal_trip_critical. These new events allow the system to respond not just to overheating, but also to hypothermia.
One potential reaction to hypothermia is suggested to be increasing the frequency and voltage of the device. By doing so, the temperature can be raised to provide necessary heating. This development offers a solution for systems that may be exposed to extreme cold temperatures and need a reliable method of preventing hypothermia.
This advancement in Linux showcases the versatility of the operating system, as it continuously adapts to new challenges and requirements. As the demand for built-in systems continues to grow, the ability to effectively monitor and respond to both overheating and hypothermia becomes increasingly important.
