Trouble building (& using) pinephone-keyboard tools

[64_Tesseract]

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

Anyone got any ideas? Cheers

Install the

linux-headers

package.

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

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
