After chatting with chatgpt. Chatgpt said that ChromeOS Embedded Controller (EC) driver does not support your hardware. . Is it correct @sebanc ? if then how to manually configure that driver? is it possible?

Hi @sebanc . I fixed powerd unable to detect the power supply state. Somehow power supply status conflicts with chromeos-config and then powerd and ChromeOS UI can't detect power supply details if it is on AC or battery. I searched about chromeos-config and this config exists in the /run/chromeos-config/v1/ and /usr/share/chromeos-config/ directory. And this files modified by 80-unibuild.sh file. Then I mount sdz7 and changed the file extension .bk so that this brunch patch should not be executed. After boot powerd, setting successfully detects the AC and battery state.

I liked the brunch framework. If you have enough time please patch this issue. It might be more helpful for laptop users..

Here is the step to now fix this issue:

1. sudo fdisk -l Look for brunch kernel and patch partition. Mine is /dev/sdz7
2. sudo mount /dev/sdz7 /mnt/empty
3. cd /mnt/empty/patches 4. mv 80-unibuild.sh 80-unibuild.sh.bk for disabling execution.
4. sudo nano 80-unibuild.sh
5. Now add two lines below of this line echo "external" > /tmp/configfs/v1/chromeos/configs/0/hardware-properties/stylus-category. Make sure the line is indent correctly by tab.

   mkdir -p /tmp/configfs/v1/chromeos/configs/0/power
   echo "1" > /tmp/configfs/v1/chromeos/configs/0/power/has-barreljack

6. cd ~ && sudo umount /mnt/empty
7. sudo edit-brunch-config Make any change for triggering brunch rebuild
8. Now reboot and hopefully if you connect the AC then you will see the battery charging icon..

Because of configs changed. I saw build name also changed in the Diagnostics tool on the top. In my test all of now ok. But without @sebanc patched it might be issue when upgrading ChromeOS or Brunch. I didn't test yet..

Edit: I found a specific power config flag has-barreljack. When this file exists with value 1 the powerd detect power supply state.
