The first +index with a matching serial number is then selected. + +A serial number of 0 indicates that the corresponding index is not associated +with an actual battery, or that the associated battery is not present. + +Some machines like the Dell Inspiron 3505 only support a single battery and thus +ignore the battery index. Because of this the driver depends on the ACPI battery +hook mechanism to discover batteries. + +.. note:: + The ACPI battery matching algorithm currently used inside the driver is + outdated and does not match the algorithm described above. The reasons for + this are differences in the handling of the ToHexString() ACPI opcode between + Linux and Windows, which distorts the serial number of ACPI batteries on many + machines. Until this issue is resolved, the driver cannot use the above + algorithm. + +Reverse-Engineering the DDV WMI interface +========================================= + +1. Find a supported Dell notebook, usually made after ~2020. +2. Dump the ACPI tables and search for the WMI device (usually called "ADDV"). +3. Decode the corresponding bmof data and look at the ASL code. +4. Try to deduce the meaning of a certain WMI method by comparing the control + flow with other ACPI methods (_BIX or _BIF for battery related methods + for example). +5. Use the built-in UEFI diagostics to view sensor types/values for fan/thermal + related methods (sometimes overwriting static ACPI data fields can be used + to test different sensor type values, since on some machines this data is + not reinitialized upon a warm reset). + +Alternatively: + +1. Load the ``dell-wmi-ddv`` driver, use the ``force`` module param + if necessary. +2. Use the debugfs interface to access the raw fan/thermal sensor buffer data. +3. Compare the data with the built-in UEFI diagnostics. + +In case the DDV WMI interface version available on your Dell notebook is not +supported or you are seeing unknown fan/thermal sensors, please submit a +bugreport on `bugzilla <https://bugzilla.kernel.org>`_ so they can be added +to the ``dell-wmi-ddv`` driver. + +See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst for further information. diff --git a/Documentation/wmi/devices/index.rst b/Documentation/wmi/devices/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..c08735a9d7df --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/wmi/devices/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +..
