Hi, I am giving a refresh to the GNUstep BatteryMonitor [*] and was checking its support to PMU. Right now it ignores battery flags and thought of using them, but they appear to give bad data on my iBook.
I found in the linux kernel doc https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c This explanation of the flags: /* format: * [0] : flags * 0x01 : AC indicator * 0x02 : charging * 0x04 : battery exist * 0x08 : * 0x10 : * 0x20 : full charged * 0x40 : pcharge reset * 0x80 : battery exist * * [1][2] : battery voltage * [3] : CPU temperature * [4] : battery temperature * [5] : current * [6][7] : pcharge * --tkoba However, if I check the flags exposed, they seem bogus and never updated: Charging: cat /proc/pmu/battery_0 flags : 00000011 charge : 3819 max_charge : 3819 current : 0 voltage : 16739 time rem. : 0 Discharging: cat /proc/pmu/battery_0 flags : 00000011 charge : 3796 max_charge : 3819 current : -739 voltage : 16392 time rem. : 18492 So I am unable (except checking for current flow) if I am really connected to mains, if it is charging or not. Anybody has ideas here? Maybe a bug? I am interestd in 0,1,2 & 7 Riccardo [*] https://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gap/trunk/system-apps/batmon/
