How to handle power management on PinePhone.

Input Current Limit

By default the AXP803 limits the input current to 500 mA which is way too low to use the phone and charge it. It is possible to manually increase this limit (assuming the power source can handle it):

echo 900000 > /sys/class/power_supply/axp20x-usb/input_current_limit

Current Fixing Daemon

The above can be automatically executed every few minutes as a systemd daemon or via cron. This is an example of a systemd timer:

/usr/local/sbin/powermax

#!/bin/bash
FONLINE=/sys/class/power_supply/axp20x-usb/online
FLIMIT=/sys/class/power_supply/axp20x-usb/input_current_limit
if [[ `cat $FONLINE` -eq 0 ]]; then
    return 0;
fi
if [[ `cat $FLIMIT` -eq 500000 ]]; then
    echo 900000 > $FLIMIT
fi

/etc/systemd/system/powermax.service[Unit] Description=Powermax [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/powermax

/etc/systemd/system/powermax.timer[Unit] Description=Powermax [Timer] OnUnitActiveSec=1min [Installl] WantedBy=timers.target

systemctl daemon-reload systemctl enable powermax.timer
