Native ESXi on Arm hardware status driver for the Raspberry Pi.
Using the Python library, you can currently get the board revision and temperature.
Currently work-in-progress, the driver is capable of communicating with the VideoCore firmware using fixed-size buffers (so no console).
Taken from a Raspberry Pi 4B:
$ /scratch/downloads/pyUtil/pimon_util.py
Firmware Revision: 0x5f440c10
Board Model: 0
Board Revision: 0xc03111
Board MAC Address: d6:51:4:32:a6:dc
Board Serial: 0x000000664b0067
Temp: 60.0 (deg. C)
To install the driver, download the VIB file in the build directory and copy it to your RPi.
Install it as described here: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2008939
Note: you will need to reboot the RPi after installing the VIB.
I would recommend downloading the Python library in ./pyUtil/pimonLib/ to interact with the thpimon character device.
Note: You may need to manually change the PIMON_DEVICE_PATH variable in ./pyUtil/gpioLib/__init__.py to reflect the correct name for the character device. I'm digging through the VMKAPI to find a way to name the character device upon creation, so stay tuned.
