This is one of the options. Other option is to extend the pmic/power command to: pmic charger on/off to recharge battery when needed. I think, that above is a better solution. > I know the value of showing proof of concept > type examples in development boards but that should still be an opt-in > thing I would think. Yes, indeed this shall be regarded as a proof-of-concept to show that battery is automatically charged when needed. Instead, I think, that it would be a good idea to write a warning on the u-boot starting (when PMIC driver is initialized): e.g. WARNING: Battery needs charging (voltage: 3.5V capacity: 8%) And then user can on its own decide if he/she will charge the battery or not.
