Platform driver for AYANEO x86 handhelds

This driver provides a sysfs interface for RGB control.

Supported devices include:

• AIR
• AIR Pro
• AIR Plus
• AIR 1s
• 2
• 2S
• GEEK
• GEEK 1S
• KUN
• Slide

Build

If you only want to build and test the module (you need headers for your kernel):

$ git clone https://github.com/ShadowBlip/ayaneo-platform.git
$ cd ayaneo-platform
$ make

Then insert the module and check dmesg:

# insmod ayaneo-platform.ko

Install

You'll need appropriate headers for your kernel and dkms package from your distribution.

$ git clone https://github.com/ShadowBlip/ayaneo-platform.git
$ cd ayaneo-platform
$ make
# make dkms

Usage

RGB Control

LED color and brightness can be controlled via sysfs.

On most systems this will be mounted at /sys/class/leds/multicolor:chassis/ and provides the following files:

brightness

Read/write.

Gets or sets the overall brightness of the LEDs. Accepts a value between 0 and max_brightness.

Defaults to 0.

max_brightness

Read only.

Gets the maximum brightness supported by the LEDs. On most systems this value is 255.

multi_index

Read only.

Gets the names of each of the channels supported by multi_intensity. On most systems this value will be "red green blue".

multi_intensity

Read/write.

Gets or sets the intensity of each of the channels. The expected value is list of numbers between 0 and 255 for each of the channels listed in multi_index.

Default is "0 0 0".

suspend_mode

Read/write.

Controls how the LEDs should behave during suspend. When reading, the currently selected option will be wrapped in square brackets [ ].

Value	Description
oem	The LEDs retain OEM behavior.On most devices, they will breathe white during suspend and breathe red when charging.
off	The LEDs are turned off during suspend. They do not respond to charging.
keep	The LEDs retain their current color during suspend. They do not respond to charging.

Default is "oem".

Identifying and Setting Color Values

The current brightness and color can be retrieved as follows:

$ cat /sys/class/leds/multicolor:chassis/brightness
0
$ cat /sys/class/leds/multicolor:chassis/multi_intensity
0 0 0

New values can be set as follows:

$ echo "255" | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/multicolor:chassis/brightness
255
$ echo "255 0 128" | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/multicolor:chassis/multi_intensity
255 0 128

Changing Startup Defaults

The platform driver is fully exposed over systemd udev. This can be used to write udev rules that set attributes at startup.

Udev Attributes Tree

$ udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/class/leds/multicolor:chassis

  looking at device '/devices/platform/ayaneo-platform/leds/multicolor:chassis':
    KERNEL=="multicolor:chassis"
    SUBSYSTEM=="leds"

Creating a rule

You can store a udev rule as /etc/udev/rules.d/##-rule_name.rules

All rules will start like this: ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="multicolor:chassis", SUBSYSTEM=="leds"

To define a default, add the attribute in the format ATTR{name}=value Valid attributes are:

ATTR{brightness}=="[0-255]"
ATTR{multi_intensity}=="[0-255] [0-255] [0-255]"
ATTR{suspend_mode}=="[oem|keep|off]"

As en example, to set suspend_modeto off: ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="multicolor:chassis", SUBSYSTEM=="leds", ATTR{suspend_mode}="off"

to create the rule in one line:

$ echo 'ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="multicolor:chassis", SUBSYSTEM=="leds", ATTR{suspend_mode}="off"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/99-led_suspend_mode.rules
