Boron VIN solar charger problem with firmware 1.4.2

Per my testing, the workaround still doesn’t meet previous charging performance for Borons, both Solar and Utility Powered when using the USB connector, link

I don’t think the pmic.setInputCurrentLimit() nor the pmic.setChargeCurrent() have as much impact to Solar Borons as the setInputVoltageLimit(3880) change that happens behind the curtains. The first two are maximum allowed by the PMIC. It really shouldn’t matter what the first 2 are set at for a Solar Boron.

Would the proposed fix still allow system power manager to reset the setInputVoltageLimit(3880) ?

For a utility powered Boron - if your Power Supply voltage drops to 3.88V to maintain 900 mA, then you need a better Power Supply :sunglasses:.
