ECTweaker

ECTweaker Library for python allows users to read/write and control the EC of laptops, specially MSI!

INSTALLATION

• pip install ectweaker
  • If the above method doesn't work please install in a virtual environment and call it in scripts from the virtual environments only!

Preparing the EC to be read/write friendly

• Disable secure boot
• Check weather your Linux Kernal has ec_sys support
  • If no then copy the file modprobe.d/ec_sys.conf and modules-lode.d/ec_sys.conf to [SYSTEM]etc/modprobe.d/ and etc/modules-load.d/, then restart
  • If yes then add ec_sys write_support = 1 line in file /etc/default/grub, save and in terminal run command update-grub then reboot

Updating

• pip install ECTweaker --upgrade

How it works

• While using this library, Please run the script with sudo privileges.
• import ECTweaker as ECT
• ECT.write(BYTE ADDRESS, VALUE) - This will allow you to write any INTEGER value to BYTE ADDRESS.
• VALUE = ECT.read(BYTE ADDRESS) - This will allow you to read INTEGER value from BYTE ADDRESS.
• ECT.fan_profile(PROFILE, VALUES) - This allows for MSI laptops with intel CPU to set Fan profiles.
• ECT.speed_writer(VALUES) - Internal function used by fan_profile function.

Future Road map

• Will add support of more BYTE in ECT.byte_interpreter(NAME, VALUE) and also more vendors
