# Packages for Purism Librem Computers
|
|
|
|
This overlay provides a handful of ebuilds for Purism Librem computers (particularly, the Librem 14):
|
|
- **sys-kernel/librem-ec-acpi**: An ebuild packaging the [Librem 14
|
|
EC ACPI kernel module][ec-acpi], necessary for proper functioning
|
|
of the laptop's battery charging and function keys.
|
|
* **sys-power/librem-control**: A GTK application to control
|
|
parameters of the Librem EC (battery charge levels, etc).
|
|
* **sys-apps/purism_ectool**: Tool for querying and flashing
|
|
Purism EC firmware images on certain Librem laptops.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Setup
|
|
|
|
This is a quick guide for setting up the system to properly install
|
|
Librem-related packages. It assumes you have set up the overlay as
|
|
described in the README.
|
|
|
|
In `/etc/portage/package.unmask`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sys-kernel/librem-ec-acpi::projectmoone
|
|
sys-apps/purism_ectool::projectmoon
|
|
sys-power/librem-control::projectmoon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In `/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sys-kernel/librem-ec-acpi::projectmoon
|
|
sys-apps/purism_ectool::projectmoon
|
|
sys-power/librem-control::projectmoon **
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## The Librem EC ACPI kernel module
|
|
|
|
The Librem EC ACPI kernel module should install and be automatically
|
|
available (via modprobe) after installation, using `emerge
|
|
sys-kernel/librem-ec-acpi`. The module is currently installed to
|
|
`/lib/modules/<kernel>/librem/`.
|
|
|
|
This ebuild supports the `dist-kernel` USE flag, and the module will
|
|
automatically be rebuilt when installing a new dist-kernel if that
|
|
flag is enabled.
|
|
|
|
If you are not using a dist-kernel, you will need to do `emerge
|
|
@modules-rebuild` to install the module after you upgrade or install a
|
|
new kernel.
|
|
|
|
### Librem Control and the Purism EC Tool
|
|
|
|
These two appliations can be used to manipulate device-specific
|
|
features of the Librem 14, including the flashing of firmware images.
|
|
It is not recommended to use the EC tool from this overlay for
|
|
flashing a firmware image. Instead, follow the official [firmware
|
|
flashing instrutions][ec-instructions].
