Intel Simplifies Its Firmware License For The Integrated Sensor Hub "ISH"
The Intel Integrated Sensor Hub 'ISH' allows for offloading sensor polling and other tasks to a low-power co-processor to help reduce overall system power consumption for extending battery life with tablets, embedded devices, and 2-in1 laptops.
The Intel Integrated Sensor Hub "ISH" allows for offloading sensor polling and other tasks to a low-power co-processor to help reduce overall system power consumption for extending battery life with tablets, embedded devices, and 2-in1 laptops. The Intel Integrated Sensor Hub has been supported by the mainline Linux kernel for nearly one decade and that open-source driver has also relied on proprietary firmware for operation. The proprietary/closed-source firmware isn't a surprise compared to other complex Intel devices but it's been carrying a rather burdening license that is now being simplified.
