I made a quick list of things an average user is used to have on a laptop, that aren't on the eoma68 laptop housing. Maybe we could later add it to the user wiki, along with ways to replace them with software when it's possible ? (for example how the disks IO LED can be shown on screen, along with the caps lock and num lock status,...)
- Main power status: ON/OFF/suspended (to know whether the card has
been completely shutdown or not)
- Battery status: charging/discharging/low power
- Disk IO LED: blinking when the disk/sd card is being read/written to
- Num lock, caps lock and scroll lock status LEDs: ON/OFF
- Wireless and/or bluetooth status LED: ON/OFF (some USB adapters do
have a led but they won't be visible if they are plugged in the internal USB)
All this can be realized some way or other through the touchpad which is actually a TS+LCD. At least for those features for which the main CPU is on, there is no problem: Wireless, BT, key lock status can be shown there. Complex displays will be a bit trickier with the A20 off and only the STM32 powered, but we can still manage some simple display of e.g. the battery charging status.
Amicalement,
