ec VS System76 Power Management

You mean this?: https://github.com/system76/ec/blob/930f16b230a1574abddc1cf313c32f1a90c994e9/src/board/system76/lemp11/board.mk

Inexplicably, the built-in curves have a 5 second delay for gazelle. This means, if your chip goes turbo, it will take 5 seconds before the fan will react. By that time, the temperature will have already spiked to 80-90 C. https://github.com/system76/ec/blob/2a8befc195cd821232d2934593d29337e4eddb3e/src/board/system76/gaze17-3060/board.mk

You can change the keyboard layout but not sure if you can replace the physical keyboard easily. https://github.com/system76/ec/blob/master/doc/keyboard-layout-customization.md

If you're wanting to try that out, it's very easy by editing the numbers within the FAN_POINT lines of this file (for your model): https://github.com/system76/ec/blob/master/src/board/system76/gaze17-3060/board.mk

I have the ec repo cloned into a sibling dir. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the help!

If it is identical to the Clevo that System76 uses then it may be possible to use their firmware.

This bit of documentation is also helpful, recommends getting the entire firmware-open stack and checking out the current firmware release that you're running and use that as a base for your modifications. This is important because firmware regressions are not uncommon and they often take some time before they are resolved.

As for the tracking issue, you want #213. #256 is my proposal for persisting options through power loss.

Also refer to https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/issues/153 for setting environment variables and making simple scripts with it.

One example would be, I had problems with running native version of Substance Designer. And it had something to do with always using GPU or setting environment variables(https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/issues/153). But I wouldn't know what to look for if a random guy on a forum didn't tell me to use it with NVIDIA Graphics.

[Update 2022-02-21] It appears that there are two packages, System76-io-dkms and System76-power. From what I gather only the first is necessary. I'm not sure how to install third-party DKMS modules that are not in the official repos. The official Void documentation on this topic is sparse, is there somewhere I can look this up?

Initially it only worked with Intel CPUs but it seems it supports AMD APUs now according to this Github issue https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/issues/73

system76-power

The performance modes are going to affect how much power the system is using (and thus how much heat it's generating), not the fan curves directly. Those profiles are defined in the system76-power application, source code here: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/blob/master/src/daemon/profiles.rs

The script uses udev rules that are run at specific kernel events. It creates one rule for when the Laptop switches to battery power and another for when the Laptop switches to wall power. Both rules run system76-power while providing one of the available power profiles as an argument. I went with battery and balanced respectively.
