[Question] about the ec tool project and the right version to use #27

Closed leopoldhub closed 3 months ago

Hi there,

As stated in this project README, fw-fanctrl

uses fw-ectool to change parameters in FrameWork's embedded controller (EC).

the link refers to the DHowett/fw-ectool project, which is a fork of the Framework team's FrameworkComputer/EmbeddedController project.

The main concern here is that the DHowett/fw-ectool project is a whopping 10098 commits behind the official project.

I imagine that there are reasons for using DHowett/fw-ectool instead of FrameworkComputer/EmbeddedController, but I cannot seem to find any information or documentation about it either in DHowett/fw-ectool or in this project and would appreciate a bit of context about this choice.

Thank you and have a great day.

Yes, the project actually moved to Gitlab: https://gitlab.howett.net/DHowett/ectool I forgot to update the link in the readme, I'm on it

Thank you @TamtamHero , btw you forgot the first link of the readme in your last commit :)

Under the hood, it uses fw-ectool to change parameters in FrameWork's embedded controller (EC).
