Does "the battery issue" concern the problem of not being able to boot
up a GTA02 device if the battery is too low?
If so, I think I have a fairly simple workaround for this:
1) Determine a "minimum" battery level required for the device to boot
as least as far as /sbin/init. Add some safety margin.
2) If battery falls below this level, frameworkd/other responsible
daemon MUST shut the device down immediately and SHOULD present a
explanation to the user.
3) Depending on which is easier, either:
a) Modify bootloader (U-boot or Qi) to check battery is above
minimum level. Bootloader MUST refuse to boot kernel if battery is
below minimum. Bootloader SHOULD present an explanation to the
user.
b) As early in the userland boot process as possible, check battery
level in an rc script. Script MUST immediately shutdown the device
if battery is below minimum. Script SHOULD present an explanation
to the user.
What do you think?
