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, 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-firmware/purism_ectool::projectmoon
sys-power/librem-control::projectmoon
In /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords:
sys-kernel/librem-ec-acpi::projectmoon
sys-firmware/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.
