Guys,
I don't know if I'm the first here doing this, or every other post have been deleted. But I think I need to do it.
I have ASUS Zephyrus GX501, Linux user/coder/gamer, and I was able to make almost everything, except numeric keypad and Aura. Isn't really funny to boot Windows only to make a customization.
My request is to make some kind of Aura SDK or documentation, I know Aura uses i2c interface, so shouldn't be so complicated to create. I know some people are currently doing tests under reverse engineering, but risking all their hardware doing it.
Don't get me wrong, I know Linux marketshare for games is quite low, but currently your direct competitors with similar technology AKA Razer, already published an API, so, people are making friendly software to manage it.
How feasible is that to make or help people to do it?
Some people trying to make everything by their own: https://github.com/CalcProgrammer1/KeyboardVisualizer/issues/85
Many thanks. I would love some support for great gamer laptops. I know you guys rocks.

Hi waltercool,
Thanks for sharing your needs for a Linux compatible API for the Aura SDK. For the close future, we do not plan on releasing it. Additional note, for now the Aura SDK supports the 4 following products line: motherboards, VGA, mouse and keyboard.

Many thanks for the answer, I know that's not an easy job, and company resources may be used on developing new technologies, but at least there is a possibility to publish some technical information? I mean, that's correct Aura is quite a big universe, but at least starting with VGA, or keyboards... or whatever. I think something is better than nothing.
For example, you may know Nvidia does not collaborate too much with Nouveau team (open-source Nvidia driver), but they provide technical documentation to them.
Regards.

I have a Linux 1950x threadripper build that should have breathing red LEDs, not rainbow swirling. This should be configurable in the BIOs of a $500+ Zenith Extreme x399 motherboard, but at least give us the documentation so we can figure it out for ourselves.

In term of technical documentation, could you be more precise on what you would need to do the development?

Correct, we are focusing on other functions at the moment. Also, the Asus Aura software doesn't work on Linux at the moment, so possibilities are limited.

Regarding the BIOS options to control AURA, only On/Off are available.
