Trouble building (& using) pinephone-keyboard tools - 64_Tesseract - 05-22-2022

I'm trying to build the pinephone-keyboard package on PostmarketOS, so I can see the keyboard's battery with one of its commands. After installing php and gcc to solve the dependency errors I was getting, I got stuck on one I couldn't figure out:
Code:
In file included from i2c-inputd.c:22:
common.c:20:10: fatal error: linux/usbdevice_fs.h: No such file or directory

I did a search and found the file in a GitHub repo that's supposed to be a Linux kernel - I don't know much on the subject, but I assume this means getting the tools to compile will be more complicated than a simple apk install... Unless, by some miracle, make's just not finding the header file hidden in some system folder Undecided

Anyone got any ideas? Cheers

Compiled without issues, thanks!

Forgive me for peppering you with questions, but I have been (very!) curious about this as well.

1. Does it work?

2. I thought it also required some kernel support (but maybe that's there already)?

3. What distro / shell / version of PMOS are you on (I am on SXMO 1.9.0)?

I don't even see /sys/class/power_supply/ip5xxx-*, so I am wondering if I fried my chip, or maybe I just don't have recent enough kernel.

I've got SXMO 1.8.2 on the original PP, and I think PostmarketOS should already have support for the keyboard considering it receives inputs & all. I only just got around to trying the tools out, but unfortunately I'm not having much luck Sad

If I try running ppkb-i2c-charger-ctl with any command, it just gives me a very helpful
Code:
ERROR: Proxy read failed with ff

I'm not seeing /sys/class/power_supply/ip5xxx-* either but i2c-adapter has a bunch of stuff in it, so the keyboard should be accessible from one of those folders.

I am pretty sure the power management (ip5xxx) kernel support is not there (yet) in Stable SXMO (which is what I am on; 1.9.0).  Not sure about Edge.  The keyboard works though (as an input device).

More details can be found in a recent post I made to sxmo-user mailing list.

I read through your post and actually, I'm having the same issue as you - the PP discharges faster with the keyboard than without. It used to charge the phone fine when I got it a few months ago, but it died not long after, even when I followed the warnings & only charged it through the keyboard.

I tried shimming it with board from a few directions, but I'm afraid I might've damaged the cables, so I wanted to check if the problem lay in the battery itself or just the connection with these tools. Never got around to using a multimeter either since I wouldn't know what to look for in the first place...

Oh well, guess I'll be using an external battery pack & repeatedly replacing the back cover until SXMO's updated lol
