Now that a number of users have got their hands on the this year’s board, would someone mind commenting on whether there’s any new features or changes to the BIOS options?
I’m particularly interested in a “Start charging threshold” option.
Link to the existing BIOS guide:

Reason why I’m interested in the aforementioned feature, because of the current following behaviour:
I have a 4K display, a USB-A keyboard/mouse and the framework charger plugged into a the Apple USB-C multiport adapter (USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter - Apple ).
(I’m running Ubuntu 21.04, with BIOS version 3.07)
I’ve noticed under heavy load (can be simulated with cpustress or video calls), the laptop starts discharging. When I disconnect the charger from the adapter and plug it in directly into another USB-C port, it stops discharging.
Additionally when when laptop has low charge, it doe…
With AC connected and battery charge at the set threshold, the battery status as reported by the kernel often flips between charging and discharging, sometimes even within one or two seconds. (This can be seen using the Gnome battery icon or upower -d). AC is always reported as online.
This also means I get a constant stream of udev events starting tlp, which then notices that AC is still online and does nothing, but this could probably be solved by tweaking udev rules.
Some more observations: …
