archmobile: battery charge

Hello there,

I'm planning on installing archmobile on my GTA02 and would like to know if there is a possibility to:

* charge the battery (is it software-dependent?)
* see the battery charge status

I would prefer a console-application.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Re: archmobile: battery charge

Lama talked to us on IRC, but i want to share the answer with all of you:

There is a file containing the current Capacity in % as an integer at /sys/devices/platform/s3c24xx_pwm.0/hdq.0/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/battery/capacity . Note that this is only true for the Openmoko NeoFreerunner!
