USB Power share: Doesn't work
Running on Pop OS 22.04
Mode: Anything except default(silent) gives considerably worse performance(tested in csgo).
Can you boot into Windows and watch the change in EC on modes change?
I dont know how to get the EC reading on windows, could you tell me how so i can help out?
On Windows you can use EC-probing-tool.
Execute command ec-probe.exe monitor -i 2 -r <path_to_save_report>\report.txt (polling interval 2 seconds).
Alternately switch modes, lingering on each, for example, 20 seconds.
Tell me in what order the modes were switched and attach the report file.
Also attach the EC dump sudo hexdump -C /sys/kernel/debug/ec/ec0/io (on Linux).
Super battery - Silent - Balanced - High - Extreme was the order report.txt

@dmitry-s93 There used to be a script/app for msi laptops before, maybe you can get some use from it and implement some features
https://github.com/YoCodingMonster/OpenFreezeCenter
Fan speed control in the plans, but I can not say when I can do it.
No worries, thanks for the app.
Mode: Anything except default(silent) gives considerably worse performance(tested in csgo).
As a rule, the standard mode is balanced. According to the report, all modes switch correctly as on Windows (Except for the lack of Extreme mode). Balanced differs from silent only in the fan mode. Should not affect performance.
Keyboard Backlit: 10s timer and slider does nothing.
RGB lighting is not controlled via EC.
FN -> Super: Not Working.
If this works on Windows, then EC monitoring is needed with the feature turned on and off.
Webcam: Option is greyed out.
Turning the webcam on/off should work with version 0.3.0.
USB Power share: Doesn't work
Is this feature supported on Windows?
Maybe its a kernel bug (6.0.6) or something, on silent i would get around 400fps but on balanced it would dip to 100-150, high performance seems to be fine since 0.3.0 so i've left it on that. Even i noticed that it only changed fan speeds so i dont know why that happens.
FN --> Super : Works on windows USB PowerShare: I used to have it but on the new app version its not there anymore, so i dont really know if it was ever intended but its permanently ticked on MCC.
Webcam: Option is greyed out.
Does it work in version 0.3.0?
FN --> Super : Works on windows
Could you save a EC change report when switching "FN --> Super" on Windows? Just turn it on and off several times with a pause of 20 seconds.
How do you test USB Power Share? For example, on my laptop, it only works when the adapter is connected (by default, this can be changed in the BIOS).
Webcam and FN --> Super work in 0.3.0, just checked to confirm. USB PowerShare adapter or battery both dont work. But MSI removing it makes me think it wasnt intended to work, even though it did before.
Power is supplied to USB and does not turn off? Your laptop supports USB port power. https://www.msi.com/faq/faq-4199
Please make EC dumps with silent mode enabled and balanced mode enabled (Make sure the performance is low). I'll double check just in case.

Yes, it doesn't turn off. Do you need dumps of windows only?
Do you need dumps of windows only?
Only on Linux when switching via MControlCenter.
I updated my UEFI to see if it fixed anything, but it didnt. Anyways heres silent.
