Unable to install a AYN Loki max LED driver.

Hi
I am trying to install a driver for x86 ayn platform.

https://github.com/ShadowBlip/ayn-platform

This is to control the LED and Fan. Is there a similar command to "sudo steamos-readonly disable" that can be used on Bazzite ?

Here is the snip from the terminal.

alterops@fedora:~$ cd ayn-platform
alterops@fedora:~/ayn-platform$ sudo make dkms
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/src/ayn-platform-v0.3.2.0.g068cce2’: Read-only file system
make: *** [Makefile:94: dkms] Error 1
alterops@fedora:~/ayn-platform$

I have tried to disable SELinux to see if it would help but I think i am missing a step.

Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you.

DKMS can't work w/ ostree sadly, but we are interested in supporting this handheld so I'm happy to spend time setting up a kmod of this and including it

You OK waiting for this to land and helping us make sure it's bug-free on your hardware?

AlterOpsOP•1/19/24, 7:47 PM

Awh. Understood.

Yes of course. I would be more than happy to test and help with the Kmod so its bug free on the Loki Max.

Amazing will have it installed and post the results.

AlterOpsOP•1/24/24, 7:51 AM

Installed the latest and the driver works out of the box in a fresh install.

I am able to see the aynec driver and show fan speed with

sensors

Made a short video showing on/off led modes working.

Will make an update once I get to test the rest of the RGB control and fan curves.

Tested the fan control but i am getting a permision deny

tried with sudo and su

Both said poermision deny.

AlterOpsOP•1/26/24, 7:26 PM

Unless I am not entering the correct command,.

Ayn has a "Smart fan control" on the BIOS and has user defined curve setting so that may be an alternative to controlling the fan.
it doesn't appear the LED mode is persistent.
After a full shutdown the LED turns back on and may require a script to run at start to save the settings.

AlterOpsOP•1/26/24, 8:20 PM

There is a minor issue, Not present when docked to an external monitor but on the built in display the desktop orientation flips.
I cannot edit the Environment to force it. I am not aware if there a different conf file to edit.

here is a short video to showcase the issue. (screen is on the correct orientation for a brief moment)

Kyle Gospo•1/26/24, 8:30 PM

We had to do similar for the ally and legion, give me a bit and I'll send you something to run so we can confirm which orientation is correct

Kyle Gospo•1/26/24, 9:32 PM

cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_namecat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name

Kyle Gospo•1/26/24, 9:32 PM

give me the output of that for your hardware

Kyle Gospo•1/26/24, 9:32 PM

and let me know which rotation is correct for this command:

Kyle Gospo•1/26/24, 9:32 PM

kscreen-doctor output.1.rotation.normalkscreen-doctor output.1.rotation.normal

Kyle Gospo•1/26/24, 9:32 PM

then I can make it automatically fix for your hardware

AlterOpsOP•1/27/24, 12:54 AM

alterops@lokimax:~$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name
Loki Max

AlterOpsOP•1/27/24, 12:54 AM

the correct orientation is
kscreen-doctor output.1.rotation.leftkscreen-doctor output.1.rotation.left

Thanks!

this may be at a different hwmon address

Kyle Gospo•1/27/24, 1:47 AM

try replacing the 5 with *

AlterOpsOP•1/27/24, 9:18 AM

Navigated to /sys/class/hwmon//sys/class/hwmon/ and nside the hwmon6hwmon6 directory there was a

name

name

file, it said aynecaynec .

ran susu then echo 100 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon6/pwm1 echo 100 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon6/pwm1 and the manual fan control works !
This may make it possible to create a script to have "on demand" control

Thanks for the help on it. I'll keep testing other things see if I run into a problem.

----
As for the user defined curves, I believe the BIOS option under "smart fan control" may be better to set it there, over using the terminal.
