I have tested the software on an XO1, on top of the HaitiOS, which Adam<br>
Holt is using in Haiti. And the testing is, at this point, difficult for<br>
me. I have been trying to plug in the test XO when I start my<br>
programming, and disconnect whenever I walk away from my desk. But I<br>
often get distracted, and forget. And I don't seem to have the<br>
discipline to write my own handwritten log, so that later I can verify<br>
everything.<br>
<br>
I'd also like to test on XO1.5, XO1.75, and XO4, and on top of the<br>
current 13.2.1 OS release. Thanks to James Cameron's work on Tiny Core<br>
XO, the installation procedure for the "ACPower" program should work on<br>
all of the XO's.<br>

I recommend you do the bulk of your testing on >= 1.5. The reason is that all of those platforms have a command to the EC that will disconnect the external power input and fake a power loss. Its used in the manufacturing tests to do a battery discharge/re-charge test.<br>
<br>
Using that feature you can automate your testing and compare your results.<br>
<br>
In fact I think you can take the manufacturing battery test script as is, put it in a loop and run it. Then you can compare the battery log from the script with your ACPower results.<br>

In theory it should not as there should be an event that happens any time the external power state changes. In practice, I seem to remember that event delivery isn't 100% and there are various powerd versions with bugs where on/off events are not matched.<font color="#888888"><br>
