    It’s not strictly Linux anymore, but I wrote a library (or userspace driver?) in Python that interacts with a ChromeOS Embedded Controller found in Framework Laptops and Chromebooks. The driver part of it interacts with the EC directly over the IO ports, which was originally written for Linux but later ported to FreeBSD and Windows since IO ports aren’t at all OS specific. It can also talk to the cros_ec_dev driver on Linux if it’s loaded.

    I wrote a GUI utility for Framework Laptops too, which also serves as the example for CrOS_EC_Python: https://github.com/Steve-Tech/YAFI
