I'm curious, since unlike most laptops the computer is in a separate unit... is the charge level of the battery reported to the OS as it would be for a traditional laptop or phone? Would be interested to know if this is supported in general, only with certain CPU cards, or not at all.
I would imagine the battery controller lives on the I2C bus which is part of the EOMA68 pinout.
Also as I understand it, this bus is a mandatory part of the standard, so any CPU card must contain an I2C bus and therefore will be able to talk to the battery controller (if that is indeed where the battery controller lives).
I guess I should stop speculating, but this seems like a reasonable way to control the battery in an EOMA68 world.
