92
+ non-exclusive license:
93
+
94
+ (a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
95
+ Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,

+
104
+ 2.2. Effective Date
105
+
106
+ The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
107
+ become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
108
+ distributes such Contribution.
109
+
110
+ 2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
111
+
112
+ The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
113
+ this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
114
+ distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
115
+ Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
116
+ Contributor:
117
+
118
+ (a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
119
+ or
120
+
121
+ (b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
122
+ modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its

+ Version); or
125
+
126
+ (c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
127
+ its Contributions.
128
+
129
+ This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
130
+ or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
131
+ the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
132
+
133
+ 2.4. Subsequent Licenses
134
+
135
+ No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
136
+ distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
137
+ License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
138
+ permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
139
+
140
+ 2.5. Representation
141
+
142
+ Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
143
+ Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
144
+ to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
145
+
146
+ 2.6. Fair Use
147
+
148
+ This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
149
+ applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
150
+ equivalents.
151
+
152
+ 2.7. Conditions
153
+
154
+ Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
155
+ in Section 2.1.
156
+
157
+ 3. Responsibilities
158
+ -------------------
159
+
160
+ 3.1. Distribution of Source Form
161
+
162
+ All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
163
+ Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
164
+ the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
165
+ Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
166
+ License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
167
+ attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
168
+ Form.
169
+
170
+ 3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
171
+
172
+ If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
173
+
174
+ (a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
175
+ Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
176
+ the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
177
+ Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
178
+ than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
179
+
180
+ (b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
181
+ License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
182
+ license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
183
+ the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
184
+
185
+ 3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
186
+
187
+ You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
188
+ provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
189
+ the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
190
+ Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
191
+ Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
192
+ License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
193
+ under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
194
+ the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
195
+ Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
196
+ License(s).
197
+
198
+ 3.4. Notices
199
+
200
+ You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
201
+ (including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
202
+ or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
203
+ the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
204
+ the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
205
+
206
+ 3.5. Application of Additional Terms
207
+
208
+ You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
209
+ indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
210
+ Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
211
+ behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
212
+ such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
213
+ You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
214
+ liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
215
+ indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
216
+ disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
217
+ jurisdiction.
218
+
219
+ 4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
220
+ ---------------------------------------------------
221
+
222
+ If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
223
+ License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
224
+ statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
225
+ the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
226
+ describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
227
+ be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
228
+ Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
229
+ or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
230
+ recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
231
+
232
+ 5. Termination
233
+ --------------
234
+
235
+ 5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
236
+ if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
237
+ compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
238
+ Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
239
+ Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
240
+ ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
241
+ non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
242
+ come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
243
+ Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
244
+ notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
245
+ first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
246
+ from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
247
+ Your receipt of the notice.
248
+
249
+ 5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
250
+ infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
251
+ counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
252
+ directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
253
+ You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
254
+ 2.1 of this License shall terminate.
255
+
256
+ 5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
257
+ end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
258
+ have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
259
+ prior to termination shall survive termination.

264
+ * ------------------------- *
265
+ * *
266
+ * Covered Software is provided under this License on an "as is" *
267
+ * basis, without warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or *
268
+ * statutory, including, without limitation, warranties that the *
269
+ * Covered Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a *

271
+ * quality and performance of the Covered Software is with You. *
272
+ * Should any Covered Software prove defective in any respect, You *
273
+ * (not any Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing, *
274
+ * repair, or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an *

283
+ * -------------------------- *
284
+ * *
285
+ * Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort *
286
+ * (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall any *
287

+ * limitation may not apply to You. *

302
+
303
+ 8. Litigation
304
+ -------------
305
+
306
+ Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the
307
+ courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal
308
+ place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
309
+ jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.
310
+ Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party's ability to bring
311
+ cross-claims or counter-claims.
312
+
313
+ 9. Miscellaneous
314
+ ----------------
315
+
316
+ This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
317
+ matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
318
+ unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
319
+ necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides
320
+ that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter
321
+ shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.
322
+
323
+ 10. Versions of the License
324
+ ---------------------------
325
+
326
+ 10.1. New Versions
327
+
328
+ Mozilla Foundation is the license steward. Except as provided in Section
329
+ 10.3, no one other than the license steward has the right to modify or

333
+ 10.2. Effect of New Versions
334

338
+ steward.
339
+
340
+ 10.3. Modified Versions
341
+
342
+ If you create software not governed by this License, and you want to
343
+ create a new license for such software, you may create and use a
344
+ modified version of this License if you rename the license and remove
345
+ any references to the name of the license steward (except to note that
346
+ such modified license differs from this License).
347
+
348
+ 10.4. Distributing Source Code Form that is Incompatible With Secondary
349
+ Licenses
350
+
351
+ If You choose to distribute Source Code Form that is Incompatible With
352
+ Secondary Licenses under the terms of this version of the License, the
353
+ notice described in Exhibit B of this License must be attached.

41
+
42
+ Linux library for the **Ajazz AKP02** 9.2" (1920x462) USB
43
+ secondary display. The AKP02 officially ships with Windows-only
44
+ software; this project is the result of reverse engineering its USB HID
45
+ protocol so the panel can be driven natively from Linux.
46
+
47
+ Confirmed on real hardware: full-screen frames, partial (region)
48
+ updates including correct color rendering, brightness, screen on/off,
49
+ clear, firmware version query, boot/display orientation, and sustained
50
+ keepalive operation.
51
+
52
+ ## Install
53
+
54
+ ### Arch Linux
55
+
56
+ Available in the AUR as
57
+ [`python-akp02`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-akp02):
58
+
59
+ ```bash
60
+ paru -S python-akp02 # or yay, or makepkg -si
61
+ ```
62
+
63
+ The package installs the udev rule for you. Replug the panel afterwards
64
+ and you're done -- skip the rest of this section.
65
+
66
+ ### Other distributions
67
+
68
+ ```bash
69
+ pip install akp02
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ Then install the udev rule so the device is usable without root. The
73
+ rule ships inside the package, so there's no need to clone the repo:
74
+
75
+ ```bash
76
+ sudo cp "$(python -c 'from importlib.resources import files; print(files("akp02") / "udev" / "99-akp02.rules")')" /etc/udev/rules.d/
77
+ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
78
+ ```
79
+
80
+ **Replug the device after installing the rule** -- udev only applies it
81
+ on the next connect.
82
+
83
+ ### From a checkout
84
+
85
+ ```bash
86
+ git clone https://github.com/deonspengler/akp02
87
+ cd akp02
88
+ pip install .
89
+ sudo cp udev/99-akp02.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
90
+ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ ### Verify
94
+
95
+ With the panel connected:
96
+
97
+ ```python
98
+ from akp02 import AKP02
99
+
100
+ with AKP02() as panel:
101
+ panel.set_brightness(30)
102
+ ```
103
+
104
+ The backlight should visibly dim. A permissions error here almost always
105
+ means the udev rule isn't active yet -- confirm the file is in
106
+ `/etc/udev/rules.d/` and that you replugged the device.
107
+
108
+ ### Note on `hidapi`
109
+
110
+ Most Linux users get a prebuilt `hidapi` wheel and need nothing extra.
111
+ If pip falls back to building it from source -- unusual architecture, or
112
+ a Python version newer than the available wheels -- install the headers
113
+ first:
114
+
115
+ ```bash
116
+ sudo apt install libhidapi-dev libudev-dev # Debian/Ubuntu
117
+ sudo dnf install hidapi-devel systemd-devel # Fedora
118
+ sudo pacman -S hidapi # Arch
119
+ ```
120
+
121
+ ## Library
122
+
123
+ ```python
124
+ from akp02 import AKP02
125
+
126
+ with AKP02() as panel:
127
+ panel.start_keepalive() # device sleeps without heartbeats
128
+ panel.set_brightness(80)
129
+ panel.set_boot_orientation("vertical") # live + persists across power cycles
130
+ panel.show(pil_image) # full screen, letterboxed if needed
131
+ panel.show(widget, at=(1600, 16)) # partial update, rest preserved
132
+ ```
133
+
134
+ All public methods are thread-safe: a single lock is held across whole
135
+ multi-report image transfers so the keepalive thread can never
136
+ interleave with or corrupt a frame. Image composition and JPEG encoding
137
+ happen outside the lock, so the keepalive thread isn't blocked by them.
138
+
139
+ A region update sent immediately after a full-frame draw needs a brief
140
+ settling delay first, or the full frame can silently fail to render at
141
+ all -- this is tracked and applied automatically; callers don't need to
142
+ do anything.
143
+
144
+ Region placement is also corrected automatically: the device renders a
145
+ region with the wrong color unless its position satisfies a specific,
146
+ confirmed alignment rule (see Protocol notes below). `show()` nudges
147
+ the position by a few pixels when needed and warns when it does, so
148
+ `at=(x, y)` always renders correctly without the caller having to know
149
+ about this.
150
+
151
+ ## Tests
152
+
153
+ ```bash
154
+ pip install -e ".[test]"
155
+ pytest
156
+ ```
157
+
158
+ 105 tests, 100% line and branch coverage, run entirely against a fake
159
+ HID device -- no physical hardware or `hidapi` installation required.
160
+ Covers protocol byte-exactness pinned against real captures, the
161
+ region color-alignment correction with real hardware-confirmed data
162
+ points, and concurrency behavior: dead-thread recovery after a
163
+ disconnect, bounded shutdown against a wedged device, and
164
+ lock-interleaving prevention verified under real contention.
165
+
166
+ For linting and type checking as well:
167
+
168
+ ```bash
169
+ pip install -e ".[dev]"
170
+ ruff check .
171
+ mypy
172
+ ```
173
+
174
+ ## Protocol notes (reverse engineered)
175
+
176
+ Plain USB HID, no encryption. VID:PID `0300:3017`. Output reports are
177
+ 1024 bytes (EP1 OUT), input reports 512 bytes (EP2 IN).
178
+
179
+ **Commands** are one zero-padded report:
180
+ `"CRT" + 00 00 + <mnemonic> + 00 00 + <params>`
181
+
182
+ | Mnemonic | Action |
183
+ | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
184
+ | `HAN` | screen off |
185
+ | `DIS` | screen on |
186
+ | `LIG` | brightness (1 param byte, 0-100) |
187
+ | `CONNECT` | heartbeat (device sleeps without periodic heartbeats) |
188
+ | `STP` | commit / render buffered image data |
189
+ | `SET` | boot/display orientation (see below) |
190
+
191
+ Layout exceptions: `CLE` (clear) uses a 3-byte gap plus a literal `0xFF`
192
+ trailer instead of the usual 2-byte gap; `VER` (firmware version) has a
193
+ leading `0x00` device-context byte before `CRT`, no gap after the
194
+ mnemonic, and returns its answer via a synchronous `GET_REPORT` on the
195
+ IN endpoint. Gap sizes are **not** universal across commands -- verify
196
+ per command when adding new ones.
197
+
198
+ **Image transfers**: a 32-byte `CRT..DRA` header (big-endian length =
199
+ payload + 0x20, then width/height/x/y as big-endian uint16, all zero
200
+ for a full-panel draw) followed immediately by JPEG bytes, chunked into
201
+ 1024-byte reports, then `STP`. The JPEG is 462x1920 **portrait** --
202
+ landscape content rotated 90 degrees **clockwise** (confirmed on
203
+ hardware; rotating the other way renders the panel upside down).
204
+ Non-zero header coordinates draw a partial region (portrait space);
205
+ content outside it is preserved.
206
+
207
+ **Region color alignment** (confirmed empirically on real hardware): a
208
+ region update renders with the wrong color -- not a placement shift --
209
+ unless the position that actually lands in the header
210
+ (`portrait_x = 462 - y - height`, in landscape terms) satisfies
211
+ `portrait_x % 8 == 2`. Root cause understood, not just observed: 462
212
+ (the axis this applies to) doesn't divide evenly into 8- or 16-pixel
213
+ JPEG blocks the way 1920 (the other axis, which shows no equivalent
214
+ sensitivity) does, so the device's firmware evidently pads its buffer
215
+ on that axis with a fixed internal offset. The library corrects this
216
+ automatically rather than requiring callers to pick special
217
+ coordinates.
218
+
219
+ **Settling delay**: a region update sent immediately after a
220
+ full-frame draw can fail to render the full frame at all unless a
221
+ brief delay (confirmed: 4ms is sufficient, 0ms fails; the library uses
222
+ 20ms for margin) separates them. Region-after-region and
223
+ full-after-full both need no delay. Likely cause: a full-frame draw is
224
+ a clean buffer replace, but a region draw is a read-modify-write
225
+ against the current framebuffer; if that read starts before the
226
+ previous commit has actually finished settling internally, the
227
+ in-flight commit can apparently be corrupted or aborted.
228
+
229
+ **Boot/display orientation** (confirmed on real hardware):
230
+ `"CRT" + 00,00 + "SET" + 00,00 + 0x00 + <orientation byte>`, where the
231
+ orientation byte is `0x00` for horizontal or `0x01` for vertical.
232
+ Found by comparing two real captures of the same action with different
233
+ outcomes -- the first capture only ever showed the default value
234
+ (indistinguishable from "no parameter"), a second capture with actual
235
+ mode switches revealed the real byte. Confirmed to both apply
236
+ immediately to the live display *and* persist as the boot-time
237
+ default: verified by physically power-cycling the device after setting
238
+ each value and observing the boot splash orientation match.
239
+
240
+ hidapi note: `write()` needs a leading `0x00` report-ID placeholder per
241
+ report; the kernel strips it before the wire (captures show no
242
+ report-ID byte on the wire itself).
