Issue with my battery, keeps reading 1%


Concerning the general behavior, If I wait enought the battery, if really present or not, eventualy appear as being full and then stay full.


I tried a few standard things :


- Full reflash with hotfix 5 and even 4 then 5


- Booting from SD card with the latest rootfs


- Booting with the kernel currently available on the git repository


And the behavior of this damned fuel jauge is surprisingly consistent.


It seems that the last piece of software to check before I have to admit that it is a hardware fault is the fuel jauge chip firware itself. If I understand correctly this should also be flashable.


Is it indeed possible and who can help me on this ?


On a side note I am starting to discover the setup and the system and I must say that I am really impressed by the booting process. This handheld is definitively brilliant and low level dev is going to be really fun.
 
The fuel gauge doesn't have firmware. It's basically just a glorified ADC.
