i2c-piix4-aura-dkms

Intro

This repository contains a patched i2c-piix4 module which supports the secondary i2c controller on several >= X370 AM4 mainboards as DKMS-package for Debian GNU/Linux Unstable. This package might work with earlier versions of Debian but mileage may vary. It is designed as a soft dependency for future packaged versions of OpenRGB to enable access to RGB LED settings of these mainboards. The original idea of patching and packaging this module was lend from the package i2c-piix4-aura-dkms found at Arch Linux AUR. I have only changed some Debian-specific pathes and added some packaging information with debhelper.

Usage

Clone this repository and run dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b. Install the resulting package with sudo dpkg -i path/to.deb. To have OpenRGB controlling your LEDs you either need to add your user to the group adm or simply run OpenRGB as root. I'd rather not recommend to run any GUI application with root privileges. THX
