AM08 Pro RGB Lighting control on Linux

Post by gabry9110 »

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a Nipogi AM08 Pro Mini PC with a Ryzen 7-7735HS CPU, and since I do not like using Windows operating systems, I installed a GNU/Linux distribution on it.

I noticed that there are no drivers/software to control the inbuilt RGB Lights available for it though, and was wondering how could I be able to control them using Linux.

I tried running the CYX_RGB_LED_Tool_Pro software that came preinstalled on Wine, or to reverse engineer it, with no luck on either attempts.

Did anyone have any luck to do the same thing I want to do?
Is anyone able to describe me how the software communicates with the lights, so that I could try to create my own version of it but for Linux if no one was already able to?

Thanks in advance :D

Are you sure that these scripts work with the AM08 Pro mini pc? Mine doesn't have any /dev/ttyUSB0 device. Could I be missing some drivers? I tried installing various ch34x AUR packages but none made any new serial device appear.
I'm attaching as images the outputs of ls /dev and sudo lsusb.

I wouldn't count on it. None of the info in the links provided are for the AM08 Pro. Three of the four aren't even for an ACE MAGIC or sister brand PC.

Yes, but they all come from the same manufacturer: Shenzhen CYX Industrial Co., Ltd.

Apparently, this version has a different program and the leds are controlled differently than via USB-to-UART (CH340 chip).

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing then, too bad :/
Does anyone else have any other ideas then?
