This application runs as a background process in order to receive state/event information from pi-top hardware and manage the system configuration in order to provide plug-and-play functionality. It also provides an interface for getting information from the hub without requiring any knowledge of the hub's internal register interface.
This package is needed by all pi-top devices in order for them to work properly. It's included out-of-the-box with pi-topOS and can be installed in other Debian based OS.
Ensure that you keep your system up-to-date to enjoy the latest features and bug fixes.
This is a Python 3 application that is managed by a systemd service, configured to automatically run on startup and restart during software updates.
:code:pi-topd is installed out of the box with pi-topOS, which is available from
pi-top.com_.
If you want to install this package in your device and you're not using pi-topOS, you'll need other packages to provide full device support. Please consider installing the :code:pt-device-support package instead, which will install several packages, including :code:pi-topd.
