The ectool mentioned here is built from GitHub - FrameworkComputer/EmbeddedController: Embedded Controller firmware for the Framework Laptop - clone current main branch (hx20-hx30)

I’m using the version from GitHub - DHowett/framework-ec: Embedded Controller firmware for the Framework Laptop, see Exploring the Embedded Controller.

I think support is getting confused when we say “Dock” or “monitor” or whatever. They want to troubleshoot all the dock things but unless the power is stable with the official supply these docks are never going to work right.

As I wrote here, I don’t think that’s true. The connection to the charger is stable with (and without) the official charger. It’s the EC firmware that decides not to draw power, and this can cause USB-C/thunderbolt disconnects.
