I don’t have framework_tool on my FW16 Ubuntu 24.04 LTS; how can I get it?
I just posted some testing I did here:
I mainly use Arch Linux, currently on Kernel 6.15.9-arch1-1, but I have tested and experienced this problem on Fedora 42, which I also have installed on this laptop. This does not appear to be a Linux problem as it started (or got much much worse) immediately after the bios update.
This morning, woke it up from sleep and it seemed fine. Connected to my dock and then a few seconds later it went down to 544MHz and stuck there. So it can do this while already awake and running.
It’s originally hosted here. I use Gentoo ( it’s a package there ).
I don’t know for Ubuntu but as long as you have all the requirments, you can just clone and build it yourself. It’s what I did before I found out it was a package on Gentoo package repository.
it is developed by framework and it is available on their github Releases · FrameworkComputer/framework-system · GitHub
alternatively you can use ectool. you can download it from here https://gitlab.howett.net/DHowett/ectool/-/jobs/905/artifacts/file/\_build/src/ectool

Are you saying that framework does not make the binary available for its own computers running standard Ubuntun 24.04 LTS, and that I have to clone it from the github repository and build it myself? Not something I do every day …
You obviously did not even look at the first link @wojciech_migas posted above you. It takes you right to the releases page with the binary already compiled for you. All you have to do is download it, give it execute permissions, and run it.
I did look at it, but it was not obvious to me that that file was an executable that would run on my system. I’ve now downloaded it and it runs, so I guess I’m all set. Thank you!
Yeah, you can’t really tell what a file is in Linux. One way is to bring it locally onto your system, then run something like “file framework_tool”. This will tell you which type of file it is.
If this is activated while the battery state of charge is above the limit, the battery will discharge without drawing power from the adapter until the upper limit is reached.
This is somewhat problematic. In 3.05, when in the DISCHARGE state, the system would run at a performance level identical to unplugged. This means that the performance is terrible during this window. When battery life saver is enabled, the brief drop in max charge does this as well. Is this going to happen as well in 3.06?

Alright, back to 3.05. I got the 500 MHz bug twice again today and once yesterday. The change to my normal usage pattern is this time I used my big 240W charger more and also I had it on my Thunderbolt (USB4) dock yesterday, which triggered it.
It seems the motherboard reset for sure made it more rare, but did not fix it.
In case that matters: Arch Linux (well, CachyOS), kernel 6.16

Here is something I just noticed with the charge light while booting up on battery from off state, nothing externally connected, no external power.
In the video, of note:
-0:15 - bright screen is OS selection screen, refind, selected Arch. Shortly after I typed in my password to unlock and boot up.
-1:04 - by this time I am booted up and at my desktop when these light sequences start.
-best I can gather from the light sequence is: WGGGGGOGGGGGGOBGGGGGBB
White
Green
Orange
Blue
Edit: Booted up Ubuntu just to see what I get and it was different at the end: WGGGGGOGGGGGGOBBBGBBGB
Booted back to Arch and it’s different again.
WGGGGGOGGGGGGOBBGGGBGB
It’s different every time which doesn’t tell me anything so I guess it’s random.
Sorry this may ultimately be my fault somehow bc idrk what im doing
My experience with the beta: played some hd2 for a while, was good and stable fans werent too loud, no complaints, then my laptop started throttling. I restart it, my dgpu is missing from task manager etc. after many restarts and troubleshooting (removing dgpu etc) i think its just an error with the bios so i figure ill just roll back! Beginning of rollback i get an hkey error causing pc to reset wasnt able to get a good look. Pc reboots and finishes rollback but now my files are corrupt causing my pc to restart randomly often. Im not able to use it because of how often the restarts are. (Restarts mid dism and sfc scan) Stressed i just fresh install from usb everything seems great so far but my bios still says im in 3.06 idek. Confused.
Error i got upon booting back to a recovery state from earlier that day.
That is probably the wildest thing I have read since bios updates so far. Many variables there to consider. Curious, did you install the driver package (v2.05 I think it was? Posted July) in addition with 3.06? And when you entered (looks like bootloop/bitlocker?) Did you select “troubleshoot” and “repair windows startup” to see if it could help with your potential corruption issues? If you can’t get that far, might need to make a bootable usb with windows creation tool to do those steps and see if it can scan that drive since your CMD was failing during scan.

The driver update was already downloaded no problem before beta, allowing me to game for a few hours. repairing windows didnt solve my issue, the restarts were still constant. I was able to do start up on usb and erase partitions which fixed it for me, atleast for now. Hopefully wild in a way that means i didnt brutally murder my laptop! Will have to do the scans soon, thanks
Introduction remarks - I don’t have my USB-C EC debugging adapter, so my options are limited, but I recorded few bits via ectool console and dropping them here in case they’re relevant.
Few observations regarding the CPU ~500Mhz frequency limit:
- in my case frequency is capped between 544Mhz-1100Mhz
- it starts happening only a while after suspend (quick suspend-wake cycle doesn’t trigger it), even when laptop is connected to the PSU (in fact I only tested it with connected, original 180W PSU)
- changing cpufreq governor or energy policy doesn’t recover this state, even though EC records the change (see the logs below)
- the only ways of recovering it in my case is to disconnect and connect the PSU again
My guess is that this is related to setting a power limits by EC.

I don’t see an issue on github, gonna submit one.

Yeah, I’ve seen that for my 500MHz lockdowns, too. Some cores sometimes can hit 1100MHz, but wasn’t sure whether that was a fluke in measurement or not
Yeah mine does this too. I assume it’s the “boost” frequency while in this extremely low state.
I’ve been having the 500MHz-1100MHz issue as well and it seems to be temporarily resolved by unplugging and plugging in the power quickly (possibly causing a race condition with the powerdevil service?)
my journalctl seems to correlate when it happens -
When I unplug while the issue is not happening and the issue starts:

It looks like:
when the issue is happening and I unplug and the issue starts => powerdevil backlighthelper starts
when i plug in while the issue is happening and the issue continues => the powerdevil backlighthelper starts again
When I quickly unplug and replug the power cable and the issue stops => powerdevil backlight helper stops
AND when I quickly unplug and replug the power cable and the issue continues => powerdevil backlight helper stops and starts again rapidly
At least at a surface level, this seems like a reliable way to correct the problem if the computer is plugged in and a reliable way to cause the issue as well. I also had slightly different behavior with different the hdmi module plugged into port 4 (i’m charging on port 1) so for these tests I had port 4 empty, port 1 charging, port 2 in use by a device, and port 3 with an ethernet cable in use (i noticed the NetworkManager-dispatcher.service deactivated each time i unplugged, but I dont know if thats related)
As a note, im using Fedora 42 on KDE Plasma

when you say rapid, approximate time/timing?
as in less than a second. A .1 second window was too fast, but with .3-.5 second window i was able to fix the issue reliably several times in a row. I should also note my computer was under load as i was watching a stream, and librewolf was eating up a massive massive chunk of my available cpu in its throttled state, so idk if the cpu usage made my window more relaxed or anything either.
