Except for the progress bar, it is already there, only the label for the menu item reads just "Power off" instead of "Power off and charge". The catch is that when it powers off, it will charge at no more than 500 mA even when connected to the charger. > Another way to do this is to change the default action when plugging in the > charger to a shut down FR for a silent charge without booting. It is supposed to do that already, but if I'm reading the code right, there are however a few cases in U-Boot where it leaves the the charger turned off: 1) If you press the power button for less than one second. 2) If you plug in a power supply other than the charger or a USB host, i.e. one that is detected as 100 mA only[1]. Over the weekend, I'll post a patch to always enable the charger and post a message here when the binary shows up at http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/experimental/NeoFreerunner/ [1] This assumes that the 100 mA detection is works. It doesn't in the 2.6.24 and 2.6.29 kernels, for example. -- Rask Ingemann Lambertsen Danish law requires addresses in e-mail to be logged and stored for a year _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
