Nexus 5 claims to run Maxim MAX17048 fuel gauge. The same can be verified from Android Sources <https://source.android.com/devices/tech/power/device.html> website, and from the kernel config on any device.
As per documentation, this fuel gauge only supports battery SOC measurements. The same information can be found in the MAX17048 datasheet <http://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAX17048-MAX17049.pdf>. However, I am able to read the sysfs file > /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_now > and get the current measurement at the battery in uA unit at high precision. - How did this happen? - What has the kernel got to provide this functionality? Is there a kernel module that performs additional calculations above the measurements provided? - Can I enable this functionality on other devices such as the Galaxy S5 having the same power gauge? -- -- unsubscribe: android-kernel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Linux Kernel Development" group.
