IP 5 16IAU7 Chromebook #173

I am running Debian Bookworm on my IP 5 16IAU7 Chromebook using the firmware update utility script from mrchromebox.tech. Any possibility this project will support my keyboard?

I am running Debian Bookworm ... Chromebook

If it can run a Linux distro it should be viable. Provided you have a 4 zone RGB keyboard. If that is the case, run the program once and post here the screenshot of the IDs it gives you

I have been able to get the keyboard lights working using ectool zboll@debiani3:~/git/ectool$ git remote -v origin https://gitlab.howett.net/DHowett/ectool.git (fetch) origin https://gitlab.howett.net/DHowett/ectool.git (push)

zboll@debiani3:~/git/ectool$ sudo ectool rgbkbd getconfig RGBKBD_TYPE: EC_RGBKBD_TYPE_FOUR_ZONES_40_LEDS

I tried building this project from source and also using a release download, but unfortunately when I run legion-kb-rgb, I do not see any device ids listed and get a warning about failing to find a valid keyboard.

It should display IDs in that screen, like all the 0x####:0x#### here: image

Screenshot from 2024-09-10 19-52-29 I am currently not getting any identifiers

Poked around a bit and it seems that I would have to implement a rust equivalent of the ectools keyboard control bit. The upside is that if I manage to do it, it'll probably work with all chromebooks that ectool does.

Thanks, if you end up taking this on, let me know if there is something I can do to help. Certainly with testing, I haven’t done much software with Rust, I come from an Ada/SPARK background.
