As far as I know /dev/cros_ec
is Pixel 2013 only and never worked with Pixel 2015.
@ehegnes You raise a good issue with there not being some other platform for discussion. I've created #Pixel2015
on freenode for use if we think IRC is a better medium than @raphael's issue tracker. I'll try to stay active on there if there's interest. Or, of course, we could use a different platform with someone else in charge (but I'd gladly give admin privileges if you share your nicks).
@ethanmad Thanks! I'll setup a bouncer for myself and join so I can stay in the channel. A mention of this channel in the README would likely be helpful! :)
I'm going to close this issue. @raphael, looking at the EC repo that houses ectool
, I did find a C header file and references in the Makefile that show /dev/cros_ec
as the device being used specifically for the samus
board's communication with the EC, and I know it worked for me in the past. Anyway, maybe I'll reopen this later if I solve it.
I'll submit a PR with the channel name. I noticed something else that could using a fix in the README. Also, I should be able to provide a few accounts on my ZNC server (znc.ethanmad.com) if anyone needs a bouncer.
User error! All I had to do was run ectool
with the --interface=lpc
flag set.
Does anybody currently have fan control working? I know that
ectool
can do this, butectool
stopped working for me a few kernel versions ago. It builds, but theioctl
operations sent to/dev/cros_ec
fail. Sometimes the preset fan controller is not aggressive enough for my needs.At the risk of seeming frivolously motivated, the lack of
ectool
also disables control over the lightbar. ;)I'm not necessarily looking for a "fix", but since we don't have an IRC, Gitter, or some other such platform, this seems like the most appropriate (only) way to pose such a query.
