Can't connect to Aura MB controller #7

I need to change my laptop keyboard backlight.

Here's my HW probe result: https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=27bb2f0366 There I see my i2c_piix4 vendor is AMD and my keyboard is PS/2.

I've patched the i2c-piix4 module and here's the result of calling sudo i2cdetect -l:

i2c-3   smbus       SMBus PIIX4 adapter port 2 at 0b00  SMBus adapter
i2c-10  i2c         NVIDIA i2c adapter 5 at 1:00.0      I2C adapter
i2c-1   i2c         NVIDIA GPU I2C adapter              I2C adapter
i2c-8   i2c         dmdc                                I2C adapter
i2c-6   smbus       SMBus PIIX4 adapter port 1 at 0b20  SMBus adapter
i2c-4   smbus       SMBus PIIX4 adapter port 3 at 0b00  SMBus adapter
i2c-2   smbus       SMBus PIIX4 adapter port 0 at 0b00  SMBus adapter
i2c-0   i2c         Synopsys DesignWare I2C adapter     I2C adapter
i2c-9   i2c         NVIDIA i2c adapter 1 at 1:00.0      I2C adapter
i2c-7   i2c         AMDGPU DM i2c hw bus 0              I2C adapter
i2c-5   smbus       SMBus PIIX4 adapter port 4 at 0b00  SMBus adapter

I've called chmod 777 to all the SMBus PIIX4 adapters (/dev/i2c-6, etc.).

When I run Borealis:

smbus: /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:14.0
i2c-sys: /dev/i2c-2
i2c-aux: /dev/i2c-6

Hi,

Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to work on Borealis, so things have stagnated. You might have better luck with CalcProgrammer1's OpenAuraSDK, which has seen more active development.
