But I need little guidance. Are we planning to remove libacpi from meta/recipes-bsp/ and add upower package in oe-core? If my understanding is incorrect then please provide some information so I could start. Thanks, Milan Shah 89927 4 ross.burton 2021-04-14 10:13:59 +0000 As the battery applet is already modular, I'd suggest we should start with a new sysfs backend and potentially also add an upower backend too. But starting with sysfs. 90125 5 randy.macleod 2021-04-26 18:45:50 +0000 Assigning to Milan and moving into 3.4. If you need more help getting started just ask! Thanks Milan. ../Randy 90132 6 mshah 2021-04-27 04:50:55 +0000 Thanks, @Randy MacLeod for assigning it to me and Yes I need some help here. I understood that we need sysfs support to monitor the battery levels. As I see in kernel-doc (mentioned in the comment) that we have support in the kernel, * Do I need to add kernel config for core-image-sato which enables them? or * Do I need to backport any patch from the newer kernel version to the existing one? or * Is that something else that I still don't know? Thanks, Milan Shah 90136 7 ross.burton 2021-04-27 15:38:36 +0000 Assume that sysfs is supported, as it will be in most builds. 90150 8 mshah 2021-04-29 05:26:22 +0000 Another good document to understand power_supply in kernel. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/power/power_supply_class.txt 97125 9 randy.macleod 2023-10-30 15:37:28 +0000 Build move to 5.0 -- ../Randy 98508 10 nayakksanjay 2024-03-17 15:47:59 +0000 Hi Randy Can you please confirm if anything need to be done ?

Kindly have a look. Also, The sysfs mechanism is controlled by the existing compilation option --with-battery="sysfs" (same as existing acpi option). That change will fall in the recipe file https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/recipe/655/ How should we take that change?
