Description
The FSO-Milestone2 kernel misses the APM battery driver thus apm doesn't work.
This has been reported to the smartphone-standards mailing list (1) as well as on the openmoko-community one (2)(3).

Replying to mickey:
This compatibility interface has been disable on purpose. For what do you need apm?
I don't strictly need it, but I want to use "standard" *nix tools, like apm or acpi/acpitools are.
Is [mdbus ...] an acceptable replacement?
IMHO no, except the reason above, I see two more:
1) it requires a "non-standard" tool, i.e. something which is completely new to end-users
2) the command is too long to type, even to remember (wrapping it into a shell script is not an option)
However, I think you already know I'm a bit "maniac"...

Embedded folks are trying to phase out APM emulation very rapidly. I want to support this. What we can do to smoothen the transfer is
- provide an 'apm' binary that has the same CLI using the FSO API
- traverse the apmd script directories and run

- Type changed from defect to task
A preliminary version of the apm command has now hit git.freesmartphone.org in python-helpers/fso-apm.

Sorry for the delay.

I think you misunderstood my request: I was not talking about userspace tools to interface with APM, but about the kernel APM battery driver.
OTOH, if I am wrong and indeed APM will be completely phased out, feel free to close this bug as wontfix.

- Milestone set to milestone6
I was talking about the kernel interface as well. We now ship an apm compatibility script and I'm still considering to traverse apmd script directories for milestone6.

an acceptable replacement?
