Look at these two links: https://github.com/YoyPa/isw/issues/152 https://github.com/YoyPa/isw/issues/153 Tell me if this works properly also for you (please specify your BIOS update and precise model).

[gaionim]

thanks, I'll do in couple of days. Merry Xmas.

[gaionim]

Some quick test; stop charging battery do not work :-( Set charge to 50% 60% , parameter survive reboot, but continue charging to 100% Try run # isw -s 0xd4 64 but still continue charging.

PS I'm using debian which do not has module ec_sys, so I have to boot arch linux in live cd in text mode. I can not boot in windows to test.

My model is MODERN 15 A11M-217XIT bios E1552IMS.118

[davidegori]

Thanks for your feedback. Except for battery_charging_threshold, does fan control work properly? The problem with the battery threshold is that the address in EC is different from the default one used by the program. After a couple of checks, the settings should be:

0xE4@0xD7 (Mobility(100-100)) = sudo isw -s 0xd7 228 
0xD0@0xD7 (Balanced(70-80)) = sudo isw -s 0xd7 208 
0xBC@0xD7 (Battery(50-60)) = sudo isw -s 0xd7 188

It works similarly to https://github.com/YoyPa/isw/issues/41 but the address is different. I would be grateful if you could give me feedback.

[gaionim]

with # sudo isw -s 0xd7 208 charging from 75 to 80 then status unknow. Capacity still 80 with charger plug in so I think battery is ok, many thanks.

For fan, I do not know how to test. Added battery_charging_threshold = 100 to https://github.com/YoyPa/isw/issues/152 ( otherwise error ) run isw -w 1552EMS1 isw -s 0xd4 64

if I run isw -b on fan run, isw -b off fan stop , but seem the same if I reboot end run isw -b on without run isw -w 1552EMS1 before. Never tested fan before.

I'm looking for battery_charging_threshold and I'm happy ... if no side effect ;-)

If You need some test, tell me what to do otherwise I'll close issue.

[davidegori]

Many thanks for your feedback.

Added battery_charging_threshold = 100 to #152 ( otherwise error )

Probably we are working with two different versions of this project. I have installed it from AUR. I suppose you have cloned the repo from Github. In my case, I don't need to specify that variable. Anyway, the point is that the workaround I wrote is not the right way to fix it. You should change the line in section [MSI_ADDRESS_DEFAULT] of isw.conf:

battery_charging_threshold_address = 0xef

to

battery_charging_threshold_address = 0xd7

Similarly, instead of running isw -s 0xd4 64 every time it should be enough to change the value of fan_mode_address in the same section and set it to 64 on [1552EMS1]. (honestly, I have tested this with an old version of BIOS, I don't know if is it still necessary).

if I run isw -b on fan run, isw -b off fan stop , but seem the same if I reboot end run isw -b on without run isw -w 1552EMS1 before.

This makes sense, because you do not need to apply a profile to do that. The program writes directly on the corresponding address in [MSI_ADDRESS_DEFAULT], which fortunately is the right one for Modern 15 A11M.

I think we could integrate what we found with isw. I'm working to produce a new file "EC Rosetta" for Modern 15 A11M (similar to this one. I wrote an email to @YoyPa because I would like to modify this tool.

Finally, I would ask you to try the following in order to test the fan.

• Reboot your computer
• check if the fan is on (with your ears).
• execute the following (without executing other isw commands): -- sudo isw -cp MSI_ADDRESS_DEFAULT cut and paste the result of this -- sudo isw -s 0x72 00 check if the fan turns off -- sudo isw -s 0x72 80 check if the fan turns on -- sudo isw -s 0x72 10 check if the fan decrease speed (the noise should decrease)
• execute the following: -- sudo isw -s 0xd4 64 -- sudo isw -s 0x72 00 check if the fan turns off -- sudo isw -s 0x72 80 check if the fan turns on -- sudo isw -s 0x72 10 check if the fan decrease speed (the noise should decrease) After this test, you can reboot the laptop to come back to the original setting. To check if fans (yes, there are two: CPU and GPU, even if you do have integrated graphics) are running or not, you can look on the grid under the body. I would really appreciate it if you can do this test on your computer. It should take 5 minutes. Thanks again!

NB, with battery_charging_threshold_address = 0xd7 fan_mode_address = 0xd4

Ps visto il mio livello di inglese forse è meglio se continuiamo in italiano ;-)

[davidegori]

Ok, thanks for your reply. I have a couple of questions and we could continue privately (in italiano!) and then write here the results. I think there is no way to write a private message on Github. It would be a pleasure to continue this conversation by mail. You can find my email address @sns.it here. That's not my private mail but I'd like to avoid to post it here.

[davidegori]

I post here a map of EC. The map is similar to EC Rosetta from this repository. You can find an explanation of the parameters in the second file. I'm not completely sure about the information it contains. Use them at your own risk. In particular, there are a couple of questions I was not able to understand:

• Can the two fans be controlled separately? At the moment, GPU settings are ignored and the CPU ones are applied to both.
• What cpu_power,profile_mode_1,profile_mode_2 really tweak?

I hope someone will integrate the program with what we have found. EC_reverse.pdf EC_reverse_notes.pdf

[Lodifice]

Hey @dirompante thanks a lot for your work! I just got a Summit B15 which is pretty similar to the Modern 15, so I decided to give your configuration a try (see #239).

While adjusting the left fan works, the right fan always keeps running and makes clearly audible noise. I suspect that left is CPU and right is GPU, correct? I can disable the right fan by writing 0 into 0x8b which according to your EC Rosetta is gpu_fan_speed_1. However, 0x8a (which should be gpu_fan_speed_0) is already 0 so I guess it's not used? I also do not understand how the controller determines that gpu_fan_speed_1 should be used, since the address for realtime_gpu_temp contains 255 (which is obviously wrong).

So my current approach for getting a usable device (that is, fans disabled when I don't do much) would be to set gpu_fan_speed_1 to 0 and also set cpu_fan_speed_0 to 0. As soon as the device heats up to about 50 degrees, the next levels of fan speed should be triggered and the fans should rapidly turn to cool the device down. Do you think this is safe to use? With fans never stopping, the device is just too noisy to be useful in a productive environment.
