PMIC Documentation?

I’m writing a basic application that every x hours publishes system status to AWS.

One of the things I’d like to put in my JSON object is a boolean to say if the device is charging, or not.

I see that in the reference there are prototypes for PMIC functions, but no meaningful documentation.

Specifically I want to know how to interpret the values in the system status register as, I assume, that’s where I’ll find the charging / not charging info.

Anyone able to shed light on this stuff?

Thanks,

Lou
