+Description:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+General information like which GPE is assigned to the EC and whether
|
|
|
+the global lock should get used.
|
|
|
+Knowing the EC GPE one can watch the amount of HW events related to
|
|
|
+the EC here (XY -> GPE number from /sys/kernel/debug/ec/*/gpe):
|
|
|
+/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpeXY
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The io file is binary and a userspace tool located here:
|
|
|
+ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/sources/ec/
|
|
|
+should get used to read out the 256 Embedded Controller registers
|
|
|
+or writing to them.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+CAUTION: Do not write to the Embedded Controller if you don't know
|
|
|
+what you are doing! Rebooting afterwards also is a good idea.
|
|
|
+This can influence the way your machine is cooled and fans may
|
|
|
+not get switched on again after you did a wrong write.
