Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : system76-ectool Upstream Author : System76 / Jeremy Soller * URL : https://github.com/system76/ec * License : MIT Programming Lang: Rust Description : firmware tool for System76 Open Source Embedded Controller
The system76_ectool is used to interact with the System76 Open Source Embedded Controller firmware. The firmware can be used on laptops from several vendors including System76, Clevo, NovaCustom, etc. I tried to package it, but I don't know rust. Following the packaging tutorial ended when it depended on the hidapi-1 crate, where Debian only has hidapi-2. I opened an upstream bug about upgrading to hidapi 2 at https://github.com/system76/ec/issues/419 and I also tried to package hidapi-1 but I never managed to get it to build due to some libusb-related problem. I'm sure someone with more rust packaging skills could work this out more easily, and I'm happy to test resulting binaries since my laptop has this EC firwmare. /Simon
