Introduction 

1 

 

 

This project aims to be a device driver collection for Siemens SIMATIC IPCs. 
These IPCs have several custom features that are currently not supported by the mainline 

Linux kernel. E.g.: 
•

 

LEDs 

•

 

Watchdog 

•

 

CMOS battery monitoring 

 

 

Note 

Not every feature is supported on every IPC. Please refer to the hardware / feature table 

(Page 9).
