I've almost finished python daemon for working with BME server socket, so there will be no need in hald-addon-bme. Thanks for BME Protocol, but unfortunately it has some errors in message structs descriptions and black spots:

Code:

struct emsg_battery_info_reply {
    uint32      status; // I guess it's the reply status, 0 means all is OK, -1 means error
    uint32      a;
    uint32      flags;
    uint16      c;
    uint16      // Battery capacity. Have no another battery, so check needed, but seems to be it.
    uint16      temp;   // Battery temperature measured in Kelvin 
    uint16      instaneous_battery_voltage; // Instantaneous battery voltage (mV)
    uint16      // Lowest TX-Off voltage (mV)
    uint16      // Lowest TX-On voltage (mV)
    uint16      // Closed switch battery voltage (mV)
    uint16      // Open switch battery voltage (mV)
    uint16      k;
    uint16      l;
};

struct emsg_bme_bulk1_reply {
   uint32     status; // I guess it's the reply status, 0 means all is OK, -1 means error
   uint32     unknown1;
   uint32     unknown2;
   uint32     unknown3;
   uint16     // Elapsed model time (min)
   uint16     // Tx-Off battery voltage (mV)
   uint16     // Tx-On battery voltage (mV)
   uint8      // Battery power state
   uint8      //  Batmon4 internal flags2
   uint8      // Batmon4 internal flags3
   uint8      // Charging method
   uint16     // Present Phi value (mV)
   uint16     // Present Delta Phi value (mV)
   uint8      // Charging mode 
   uint8      // Previous charging mode 
   uint8      // Charger type
   uint8      // Previous charger type
   uint16     // Instantaneous battery voltage (mV)
   uint8      // Number of charger checks (0-9) ?
   uint8      // Charger recognition state
   uint16     unknown4;
   uint16     // Instantaneous charger current (mA)
   uint16     unknown5;
   uint16     // Charging time (min)
   uint16     // Average Vchar (mV)
   uint16     // Equivalent DC charger current (mA) 
   uint8      // Battery full flag (0 or 1)
   uint8      // HW Cha PWM value L ??
   uint8      // Cha PWM value L ??
   uint8      unknown6;
   uint16     // Open switch battery voltage (mV)
   uint16     // Closed switch battery voltage (mV)
   uint16     unknown7;
};

Next thing is to think about calculating the battery percentage, 'cause there are enough values to use. And I guess I really should write it in pure C with D-Bus messaging. Any ideas and help appreciated.

And Advanced Power (and Monitor) are fully ported to Mer now. Next release will be fully working on Maemo and Mer.
