xabi08/MSI-EC

Project ID: 223651

Description

A copr to provide the akmod package for MSI-EC kernel module. MSI-EC is a module that allows MSI laptop owners to control their Embed Controller through the sysfs. Please note that the specific EC version has to be supported for it to work. You can find the supported device list here. If you are using Secure Boot, you will have to sign the module for secure boot but it should work.

Installation Instructions

Before anything, if you are running under Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite and you have Secure Boot enabled, please check this repository to enable akmod module loading at boot: https://github.com/CheariX/silverblue-akmods-keys

Important: EPEL 9 and CentOS 9 Support

EPEL and CentOS 9 support have been removed. This driver requires Kernel 6.5.0 or newer to operate safely. Since EPEL and CentOS 9 are using an older kernel (5.14), they are officially unsupported to prevent hardware instability. Please use EPEL or CentOS 10 or a modern distribution.

Fedore Kinoite / Silverblue / EPEL distros (edge only)
