mps: i just played around a bit with ectool compiled on linux - seems to work quite ok and might be interesting for some things
<hexdump0815>
mps: iirc you played around with it some time ago to control your batt charging - right? - do i see it right that with ec on older systems you can just let it charge/discharge inbetween two percentage via some self written damon/script
<hexdump0815>
mps: as far as i see there is no way to tell it to not charge/discharge the battery at all at a certain stage - right?
<hexdump0815>
but "ectool batterycutoff at-shutdown" looks good to avoid accidental poweron of a chromebook during transport or storage
<hexdump0815>
(its the same as "crosssystem battery_cutoff_request=1" i think
<mps>
hexdump0815: yes, it works on some chromebooks, I think newer ones.
<hexdump0815>
does anyone here know if its also possible to get "crossystem" command functionality in regular linux - i guess not that easily maybe as it seems to play around with the flash partially?
<mps>
tested it on acer R13 elm (mediatek mt8173 SoC) and samsung gru-kevin (rk3399 SoC)
<mps>
not all commands works but battery charge limit current work
<mps>
ectool doesn't work on old samsung peach-pi chromebook (exynos-5800 SoC) which is arm32
<hexdump0815>
mps: which command exactly are you using for the charge limit?
<mps>
hexdump0815: crossystem works but not all funcionalities work, it shows some settings
<hexdump0815>
mps: yes - but all the interesting stuff of crossystem does not work :)
<mps>
hexdump0815: I forgot exact command and parameters, but will look later when I boot chromebook and inform you
<mps>
mean to ectool ^
<hexdump0815>
mps: that would be nice - thanks a lot
<mps>
hexdump0815: np, pleasure is mine
<mps>
nowadays I don't often use cromebooks
* mps
fall to apple trap
<mps>
hexdump0815: https://tpaste.us/wxje is script which runs on my elm for controling battery charging
<mps>
there are more commands related to charging but I didn't tested them
<mps>
I'm not sure what is maximum charge current for elm chromebook, I didn't wrote default to somewhere.
<mps>
would be nice is someone who access to elm (oak, and maybe hanna) chromebook check this and report
