Jan 28 08:58:47 <lumag> ant_work, hello.
Jan 28 08:58:52 <ant_work> gm
Jan 28 08:58:57 <lumag> backup battery should be on the pcb with sd card slot
Jan 28 08:59:35 <ant_work> how many years could last that little thing?
Jan 28 09:00:09 <lumag> It is rechargable.
Jan 28 09:00:19 <lumag> I don't know if we recharge it though
Jan 28 09:00:26 <ant_work> ok, even if unpowered for years?
Jan 28 09:00:38 <lumag> No.
Jan 28 09:00:44 <ant_work> iirc it takes some hours to fully recharge
Jan 28 09:01:03 <ant_work> with DC connected
Jan 28 09:01:04 <lumag> Manual talks about 30 hours to fully charge and  few hours (minutes(?)) to discharge
Jan 28 09:01:10 <ant_work> :)
Jan 28 09:01:19 <lumag> It can be also charged just from main battery
Jan 28 09:02:07 <ant_work> ok, so I can forget again about it, will just do some readings
Jan 28 09:02:41 <ant_work> fwiw I found the thresold for recharge was NULL
Jan 28 09:02:51 <ant_work> in the System Menu
Jan 28 09:03:51 <lumag> I wonder about battery readings. Do you still get them as 0 ?
Jan 28 09:04:23 <ant_work> I don't see them, is commented-out
Jan 28 09:04:35 <ant_work> what was it? some CONFIG_ iirc
Jan 28 09:05:10 <lumag> what threshold ?
Jan 28 09:06:31 <ant_work> the voltage limit where to stop recharging
Jan 28 09:07:37 <lumag> On collie it is detected by gpio_full (for the main battery)
Jan 28 09:08:19 <ant_work> it is in the firmware as well
Jan 28 09:10:10 <ant_work> on other models it is respected silently when you recharge after a poweroff/battery out
Jan 28 09:10:35 <ant_work> seems different on collie and poodle, for different reasons
Jan 28 09:11:30 <ant_work> they don't stay in that fake poweroff state
Jan 28 09:12:07 <ant_work> (well, poodle yes with the trick of battery switch open)
Jan 28 09:12:52 <ant_work> I think in this state the recharge is supposedly managed by the firmware/bootloader
Jan 28 09:14:32 <ant_work> got it, it was linux-yocto: remove POWER_SUPPLY_DEBUG as default
Jan 28 09:15:06 <ant_work> heh, runtime testing needed
Jan 28 09:16:13 <ant_work> lumag: so for collie CONFIG_PDA_POWER=y will be disabled?
Jan 28 09:16:49 <lumag> If you have gpio-charger patch for arch/arm/mach-sa1100/collie.c.
Jan 28 09:17:48 <ant_work> I'd like to have all those patches, maybe they fix some obscure irq/gpio/no_hz bug and the NOR works again...
Jan 28 09:18:15 <ant_work> hoping that RMK has finished with that imx board ...
Jan 28 09:20:12 <lumag> I've sent it to you
Jan 28 09:37:56 <ant_work> ok, thx, so it is independent on the 10 pending patches
