## ASUS Linux

Advanced power management (Laptop Power Profile selection, battery charge limit and Panel Overdrive) and many other functions from recent laptops need the ASUS Linux stack installed and running.

## Battery charge threshold

Kernel 5.4 brought the ability to set the battery charge threshold for some Asus laptops, by modifying the `charge_control_end_threshold` variable exposed under `/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/`[1][2].

By default this value is set to `100` and reset on every power cycle[3].

The effect of its change can be demonstrated as follows:

    $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status
    Charging
    $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity
    74
    # echo 60 > /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_end_threshold
    $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status
    Not charging

Note: As of 2020-12-11, the following battery device names are recognized: BAT0, BAT1, BATC and BATT.[4] Adjust accordingly or use the single character wildcard (`?`), e.g. `BAT?`.

### Include required module in initramfs

To work around cases of configuration failing to apply at boot because the required `asus_wmi` kernel module has not yet been loaded[5], configure early module loading for it.

### TLP

TLP gained with version 1.4 the ability to set battery charge thresholds for laptops other than Thinkpads: see upstream documentation and example Gist.

### bat

Another (more simple) way to force the charging threshold is by using bat-asus-battery-binAUR, which provides a `bat-boot.service` systemd service and an intuitive terminal interface to change the threshold by typing `bat-asus-battery threshold value`.

### GNOME extension

gnome-shell-extension-battery-health-charging-gitAUR is a GNOME extension that "provides a graphical user interface for setting a laptop’s charging limit (charging threshold) within a Gnome environment". It supports ASUS laptops and many other brands. See its official website for details and screenshots.

### systemd service

This article or section is out of date.

Reason: This manual method was suggested before more reliable solutions were developed, and should be abandoned in their favor. (Discuss in Talk:Laptop/ASUS)

In order to automatically change the value at boot, create the following systemd service:

    /etc/systemd/system/battery-charge-threshold.service

    [Unit]
    Description=Set the battery charge threshold
    After=multi-user.target
    StartLimitBurst=0

    [Service]
    Type=oneshot
    Restart=on-failure
    ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'echo value > /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_end_threshold'

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

and then enable it.

`Restart=on-failure` and `StartLimitBurst=0` are used to work around the service failing with a `/bin/bash: /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_end_threshold: Permission denied` error.

This error is due to the service being started before asus-wmi could be loaded by the kernel (noted as `kernel: battery: new extension: ASUS Battery Extension` in the journal), making it impossible to write there.

The combination of those two options allows unlimited restart of the service for `DefaultStartLimitIntervalSec` (set to 10 seconds by default in `/etc/systemd/system.conf`), leaving enough time for the sysfs path to become available and writable and thus ensuring the fastest execution of the service.

Note: As of 2020-12-01, this is the only functional workaround as neither path-based activation or systemd-tmpfiles were working.

### udev rule

The battery's `charge_control_end_threshold` power supply class attribute does not initially exist. It is added to the sysfs(5) directory by the `asus-nb-wmi` kernel module. Create a udev rule for `asus-nb-wmi` to set the battery's charge threshold:

    /etc/udev/rules.d/asus-battery-charge-threshold.rules

    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="asus-nb-wmi", RUN+="/bin/bash -c 'echo value > /sys/class/power_supply/BAT?/charge_control_end_threshold'"

### Persist after hibernation

While this setting will persist after suspending to RAM, it will be reset when resuming from hibernation. In order to re-execute the service after hibernation, use one of the methods described in Power management/Suspend and hibernate#Sleep hooks.

If creating a script as described in Power management/Suspend and hibernate#Hooks in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep, use something similar to:

    /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/battery-threshold.sh

    #!/bin/sh
    case $1/$2 in
      pre/*)
        echo "Going to $2..."
        ;;
      post/*)
        echo "Waking up from $2..."
        echo 60 > /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_end_threshold
        ;;
    esac

Do not forget to make the script executable.

## Model list

This article or section needs language, wiki syntax or style improvements. See Help:Style for reference.

Reason: Generic info not specific to laptops should be removed and instead of creating super long, messy entries there should be a dedicated page for the laptop. Many entries also need language improvements (Discuss in Talk:Laptop/ASUS)

For package power states lower than PC3, see Remarks. |  | To reach PC7, r8168AUR has to be built without certain build options. An easy way to do this is to build r8168-dkmsAUR after modifying its `dkms.conf` by removing `EXTRA_CFLAGS='-DCONFIG_R8168_NAPI -DCONFIG_R8168_VLAN'`
VivoBook X512DA | 2019-03-15 | Yes | Yes | – | Yes | Yes | Yes | See #Function key behavior | Fan spins unusually fast when started plugged in.

| Needed an external wifi/ethernet adapter (via USB) during archiso (for access to internet), screen brightness is set to lowest when you plug/unplug your power for the first time after boot (now fixed, i think by adding the `amdgpu` module in `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf`)

Vivobook GO 15 E1504FA | 2024-01-08 | Yes | Yes | – | Yes | Yes | Yes | Easiest method to control the monitor backlight is to use acpilight |

#### Function key behavior

The Function keys default behavior is `F1`,`F2`,etc… and must be unset by using `Fn+Esc` to use alternative functions.
