Linux MSI EC Controller

This is a simple linux app intended to control some features of the MSI EC of some laptops

Warning

• Write to the EC is dangerous, use it at your own risk!
• This program was made for personal use and to meet personal requirements, I have added some checks to prevent myself from doing something that could damage my laptop, but it is not a guarantee that this program is not going to damage your laptop
• I don't have any association with MSI, and I made this only with documentation that I found online

Tested on laptops:

• MSI GS65 Stealth 8SE

Tested on distributions:

• Fedora 37

Dependencies

This project depends on acpi_ec and must be run as root for now (Read the RoadMap for more details)

Roadmap

• Basic information about CPU and GPU temperatures and fan speeds
• Control turbo bost
• Display CPU Fan Curve
• Display GPU Fan Curve
• Change fan curve
• Creation and selection of profiles
• Elevation of privilegies only when necessary
  • I'm using this command for now but it has to be run every time the computer is restarted, also this could be dangerous as well:

  sudo chmod o+rw /dev/ec

• CLI utility

About the EC

This is the diagram that I'm using to control the EC, make sure your EC works the same way, also thanks to @YoyPa as I found that diagram in his isw project
