[StarLite Mk IV] Missing coreboot options? #164

Closed CommonLoon102 closed 5 months ago

CommonLoon102 commented 5 months ago

Since I have switched to coreboot, I wanted to install the Coreboot Configurator, but it has been retired. https://support.starlabs.systems/kb/guides/coreboot-configurator

Specifically, I wanted two things. Turn off the microphone and limit the max charge to 90%. Both options are missing from the BIOS.

I suppose turning off the webcam would turn off the microphone as well? Because for input device I see "Microphone - USB 2.0 Camera". OK, so I tried it, the answer is yes.

What I still miss though is limiting the max charge. Is there a reason why the option is not showing up in the BIOS?

The Lite Mk IV doesn't have an option to limit the charge level

Is this a hardware limitation?

No, it could be done, but they're use gas gauges (not smart batteries) so it's pointless
