A20 No battery information available

[forOliTri]

Hello, i am trying to get the LiPo battery status.
I run the A20 image downloaded form olimex site.
uname -a returns "Linux a20-OLinuXino 3.4.64+ #6 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 1 17:32:40 EET 2013 armv7l GNU/Linux"

I read about the AXP209 chip and found it is connected to i2c0 interface.
I have a battery connected and the orange led is lit showing it is charging.

In the forums, i have found out, that battery status is shown through the /sys/class/power_supply/battery, however, there is no such directory on my system. It ends with /power_supply/ being a totaly empty folder.

Then i found another location to look for /sys/devices/platform/sunxi-i2c.0/i2c-0/0-0034/axp20-supplyer.28/power_supply
Yet again, there is no such folder. It stops with supplyer.28
There is "power" directory, but it contains no data i'm looking for.

Doing the "dmesg | grep axp" i get the output as:

Well i see the error but i don't understand if its responsible for the absent battery information. And if it does, what does it mean? What has gone wrong and how do i fix it?

Are there any other ways to get battery status?
I need to know if battery is charging/discharging and what is the current charge level.

Hi,

did you make changes in FEX file? If i good remember it's necessary.
