Ozone StrikeBattle Support

[itek09]

Hi.

Thanks for this project.

I bought a Ozone Strikebattle with Holtek micro controller (vendor 0x04d9 productid 0xa096). This keyboard is not compatible with mac (if i type "asdf" it wrote "hzkm", for example).

The descriptor generator doesn't work with the keyboard, I make one using other descriptor values but I can't make work this keyboard...

I send you some info from Ubuntu (its work perfectly). In Mac, i think the keyboard has been detected with 3 interfaces, the interface 2 is for Media keys (its work ok).

Merry Christmas and happy new year.

Thanks ;)

PD: Do you need more things?

USB Holtek Ubuntu.txt

I upload too the Report Descriptor from ubuntu (3 interfaces):

int1 - media.txt int0.txt int2.txt

[itek09]

Oh, this keyboard work perfectly! I only need make "set-protocol.rb -v 0x04d9 -p 0xa096 -P 0".

Thanks man!

[thefloweringash]

I'm glad you managed to make it work with the set-protocol.rb script, but this is only a workaround and won't have NKRO (I expect it to max out at 6 keys).

This keyboard includes this in the descriptor:

        Usage_Minimum[224]
        Usage_Maximum[231]
        Usage_Minimum[0]
        Usage_Maximum[103]

Which is something the descriptor generator isn't able to handle. It's not impossible to implement but will take a bit of reworking.

[itek09]

Yes, it work with 6kro, its enough for the moment.

How can i help you with this keyboard?

Thanks.

[thefloweringash]

I have everything I need to work on this.

[thefloweringash]

I've pushed an improvement to the descriptor generator in a branch named issue-28. This should be able to generate an appropriate descriptor for your keyboard. Would you be able to test this?

[itek09]

Oh!

Really thanks.

I test the changes and... now i think all the keys are working with NKRO :D. I only need to use Keyboard Remap to set the corrects keys (actually A is a H... but now the Caps key and other keys work too :D)

Really thanks man, and sorry for my english :(

[thefloweringash]

Thank you for testing the changes. It should be possible to have the keyboard work without any additional remapping. Your example of "A is a H" is an offset of 8 positions, which is the size of the first range that the generated descriptor should have introduced. In your example, what button are you pressing and what is the result? How did this change with the generated descriptor?

[thefloweringash]

I'd like to see the raw hid reports for a few representative buttons (for example, Caps Lock and A). There's a utility in the hid_report_dumper directory to do this, but it's not very polished.

[itek09]

A -> 05 00 01 00 00 ... (continue zeros) S -> 05 00 00 40 00 ... Caps Lock -> 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 ... Left Shift -> 05 02 00 00 ... Left Ctrl -> 05 01 00 00 ... Space -> 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 ...

All 16 bytes.

I use hid_report_dumper, but this utility is like testgui, included on this repository https://github.com/signal11/hidapi/downloads ;)

[thefloweringash]

Sorry about the delay.

Looking at your example reports, I'm confused by the A and S reports. From the descriptor I expect

A -> 05 | 00 | 10 00 00 ... (usage  4 at bit number  4)
S -> 05 | 00 | 00 00 40 ... (usage 22 at bit number 22)

Where the general format is:

report id = 0x05
modifier bitset (keyboard,       224-231,   8 bits)
main bitset     (keyboard,         0-103, 104 bits)
extra           (system control, 129-131,   3 bits) (power down, sleep, wake)
5 bits of padding

The generated descriptor on the issue-28 branch seems to be generating a sensible replacement for me, it breaks the first input (224-231,0-103) into two inputs, the first of which is (224-231), and the second is (0-103).

In short: everything looks like it should work. Can you double check the extension was attached to your keyboard with ioreg?

$ ioreg -b -f | grep IOUSBHIDDriverDescriptorOverride

Which should produce something like this (for my Noppoo):

    | |   |       |     | +-o IOUSBHIDDriverDescriptorOverride@1d180000,0  <class IOUSBHIDDriverDescriptorOverride, id 0x1000002b8, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (30 ms), retain 10>
    | |   |       |       +-o IOUSBHIDDriverDescriptorOverride@1d180000,1  <class IOUSBHIDDriverDescriptorOverride, id 0x1000002bb, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (19 ms), retain 10>

[itek09]

Its not working (no response for $ ioreg -b -f | grep IOUSBHIDDriverDescriptorOverride)

If I do rake scan it is stucked at Checking device: #<LIBUSB::Device 20/11 04d9:a096 ? USB Keyboard ? (HID (01,01), HID (00,00), HID (00,00))>

This build don't generate any descriptor for my keyboard (i think).

Don't worry about the delay, thanks ;)

[thefloweringash]

I'm guessing there's a USB device that doesn't like being inspected. I've pushed a hack to issue-28 to only scan vendor 0x04d9, which should only scan your keyboard.

[itek09]

The same with the hack, it is stucked at Checking device: #<LIBUSB::Device 20/11 04d9:a096 ? USB Keyboard ? (HID (01,01), HID (00,00), HID (00,00))>

I don't have more Holtek USB connected.

[thefloweringash]

Ok, let's give up on the scanner. I've put together a descriptor from the information you provided above. (On issue-28).

[thefloweringash]

I just noticed I made a typo. Pushed an update.

[itek09]

You are a fuc***g boss man.

Last update work perfectly! Really thanks!

Hello,

I got this keyboard too. I've tried the solution (ready to use) here : http://www.elotrolado.net/hilo_funciona-strikebattle-y-strike-pro-en-mac_2144818 released by @itek09 but it doesn't work.

I'm French and I bought the french keyboard, maybe is it for that reason it doesn't work ?

I've noticed that the bcdDevice of my keyboard is 3335 instead of 3332 (in the .plist) :

    +-o USB Keyboard@14100000  <class AppleUSBDevice, id 0x1000006d0, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (5 ms), retain 15>
          "idProduct" = 41110
          "bcdDevice" = 3335
          "idVendor" = 1241

What I've to do please ? Thank you !

[thefloweringash]

You should be able to treat this keyboard like any new device. Run rake scan to get the descriptors, rebuild, and install the extension. Make sure IOUSBHIDDriverDescriptorOverride shows up in ioreg after installing. The details should be in the readme, but if you get stuck please ask for clarification.

If the scanner doesn't work or the result doesn't help please attach a "Bus Probe" from USB Prober.app in the February 2012 version of Hardware IO Tools for Xcode.

[4t0m1k]

Thank you for your very quick answer !

Finally I've decided to replace my keyboard with the Corsair Gaming K65 RGB, more compatible with mac os x. It'll be more simple to get it to work. Sorry to have wasted your time : /

You got a very nice project, thank you again !

[zatarra]

Hi,

I'm sorry for hijacking the thread, but I'm having the same problem. I've followed the instructions but it didn't work.

The idVendor and idProduct are the same, but bcdDevice device differs. Could this be the problem?

I've also tried to compile de code so that I could try to update the corresponding yml file with the new bcdDevice value, but first I was having issues with Ruby and after updating to ruby 2.2.0 now I have a different issue ( fatal error: 'IOKit/usb/IOUSBHIDDriver.h' file not found ).

Anyway, these are the details:

fatal error: 'IOKit/usb/IOUSBHIDDriver.h' file not found

This is typically caused by building on a newer version of OS X. The old interface still exists but can't be built against, so I'm sticking with the older interface to support older OS X versions. There's a branch that supports the modern interface called ft-el-cap, try that and see if it helps.

[zatarra]

That was probably the case. Anyway, I did it the hard (and lazy) way, and I just manually copied all the IOKit header files that were required to the root folder, changed their paths for dependencies and compiled the kernel extension. After changing the bcdDevice to match the one from my keyboard the extension worked perfectly. Thanks :)

hi thefloweringash

is there any way to build IOKit/usb/IOUSBHIDDriver.h using mac 10.12 and xcode 8 i am facing build issue while building my project in which we included IOKit/usb/IOUSBHIDDriver.h basically i wanted to generate kext and test it

error :- 'IOKit/usb/IOUSBHIDDriver.h' . file not found
