Greetings,
Here's a new stable release of tp_smapi, including everything from the
recent test version plus a few more tweaks.
If you have a 7-cell or 5-cell battery, we probably still have your
battery cell group voltages wrong -- please post your `grep ""'
/sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/*`.
0.36 2008-01-27
---------------------
- tp_smapi: Added a 4th cell group voltage attribute:
/sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/group3_voltage
- tp_smapi: Reversed order of the group{0,1,2}_voltage attributes.
- hdaps whitelist: changed default orientation of ThinkPad X61.
- README: Improve attributes documentation.
- Sourcecode cleanups.
0.35-test1 2008-01-21
---------------------
- Allow loading on new T61 firmware that caused an "hdaps_check_ec failed
error. Correct operation with this firmware is not yet fully tested.
- tp_smapi: Added 3 new sysfs attributes:
/sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/group0_voltage
/sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/group1_voltage
/sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/group2_voltage
ThinkPad batteries (at least on the 600, X3x, T4x and R5x models) contains
3 cell groups in series, where each group consisting of 2 or 3 cells
connected in parallel. The voltage of each group is given by these attributes.
(The effective performance of the battery is determined by the weakest
group, i.e., the one those voltage changes most rapidly during dis/charging.)
- hdaps whitelist: changed default orientation of ThinkPad X60 Tablet,
X61 Tablet and ThinkPad X60s and ThinkPd T60.
- hdaps: when hdaps_ec_check fails, report the values received from the EC.
