sensorinternal
Sensorinternal is a designation used in some hardware and firmware documentation to refer to the subset of sensors that are built into a device and are not exposed as external peripherals. It may appear in system manifests, driver code, or firmware interfaces to distinguish these sensors from external or user-accessible ones. The term is not a standardized specification and its exact meaning can vary by vendor or project.
Typical sensorinternal components include temperature sensors on CPUs or SoCs, voltage and current sensors for power
Access to sensorinternal data is usually mediated by a sensor framework, driver, or daemon in the operating
Security and privacy considerations include restricting access to sensitive internal state and preventing leakage of device
