# Azeron Cyborg Linux Support - Remaining Tasks
## Protocol Implementation
- [ ] **Joystick Bulk Write (`0x26EC`)**: Implement `azeron_protocol_set_stick_config` using the new bulk write format.
- [x] **Joystick Bulk Write (`0x26EC`)**: Implement `azeron_protocol_set_stick_config` using the new bulk write format.
- Map mode byte (index 3).
- Map stick angle (index 8).
- Map deadzone/sensitivity.
- [ ] **Global Timings (`0x2000`)**: Implement a function to set Long Press and Double Click delays.
- [ ] **Verify Read Configuration**: Confirm if `0x26FB` works for Cyborg or if a new read command is required (Heartbeat showed `0x12EA/EB` pairs).
- [x] **Global Timings (`0x2000`)**: Implement a function to set Long Press and Double Click delays.
- [x] **Verify Read Configuration**: Confirm if `0x26FB` works for Cyborg or if a new read command is required (Heartbeat showed `0x12EA/EB` pairs).
- [ ] **Surgical Button Persistence**: Verify if `0x204B` (Commit) is sufficient for all surgical updates or if `0x26ED` is needed.
## CLI Enhancements
- [ ] **Joystick Commands**: Add `set-stick-mode` and `set-stick-angle`.
- [ ] **Timing Commands**: Add `set-delays --long <ms> --double <ms>`.
- [ ] **Action Feedback**: Update `show-mappings` to display all three actions (Single, Long, Double) per button.
- [x] **Joystick Commands**: Add `set-stick-mode` and `set-stick-angle`.
- [x] **Timing Commands**: Add `set-delays --long <ms> --double <ms>`.
- [x] **Action Feedback**: Update `show-mappings` to display all three actions (Single, Long, Double) per button.
## Testing & Validation
- [ ] **Linux Verification**: Test all surgical updates (`0x20F6/F8/4A`) using `libusb` on Linux.

**Joystick Profile Data (Indices relative to payload start):**
```
Byte 58: Dead zone (0-100%)
Byte 59: Sensitivity curve (0=linear, 1=exponential, 2=custom)

- **0x01 = 4-way:** Digital 4-direction pad
- **0x02 = 8-way:** Digital 8-direction pad
- **0x03 = Mouse:** Mouse emulation mode
## Profile Management
The device supports **3 profiles** (Profile 0, 1, 2).
### Profile Switching Sequence
When switching profiles, the software sends:
1. **Write Profile Data** (0x26FC) - Write new profile configuration
2. **Status Response** (0x26FC) - Device acknowledges
3. **Save Profile** (0x26FD) - Commit to EEPROM
4. **Save Confirmation** (0x26FD) - Device confirms persistence
**Profile Numbers:**
- Byte 5 of operation field: 0x00 = Profile 0, 0x01 = Profile 1, 0x02 = Profile 2
### Active Profile Indication
The currently active profile is indicated in status responses:
- **Byte 6 of response:** Active profile number
- **Byte 1 of payload:** Active profile number
- **LED color** changes to profile-specific color

## Implementation Checklist
### Wireshark Filters for Analysis
```wireshark
# All configuration commands (exclude heartbeat):
usb.device_address == 8 && usb.data_len == 64 && !(usb.setup.wValue == 0x122a)
# Just write operations:
usb.device_address == 8 && usb.data_len == 64 && usb.setup.wValue == 0x26fc
# Just save operations:
usb.device_address == 8 && usb.data_len == 64 && usb.setup.wValue == 0x26fd
# All status polls (heartbeat):
usb.device_address == 8 && usb.setup.wValue == 0x122a
```
### USBPcap Capture Commands
```bash
# Minimal capture (only config, no joystick data):
USBPcapCMD.exe -d \\.\USBPcap6 -o config.pcap -s 64
# Capture only control transfers:
USBPcapCMD.exe -d \\.\USBPcap6 -o config.pcap -F c

## Development Notes
### USB Control Transfer Format
```c
// Send HID report to device
int azeron_send_report(struct azeron_device *device,
uint8_t *report, size_t length)
{
return libusb_interrupt_transfer(device->handle,
0x06, // Endpoint OUT
report,
length,
&transferred,
1000); // Timeout
}
// Receive HID report from device
int azeron_receive_report(struct azeron_device *device,
uint8_t *report, size_t length)
{
return libusb_interrupt_transfer(device->handle,
0x85, // Endpoint IN
report,
length,
&transferred,
1000); // Timeout
}
```
### Common Gaming Device Protocol Patterns
The Azeron protocol follows these standard patterns:
1. **Request-Response:** Every command gets an acknowledgment
2. **Two-Phase Write:** Write data → Verify → Commit/Save
3. **Command IDs:** Unique 2-byte identifiers for each operation
4. **Status Polling:** Regular heartbeat to detect device presence
5. **Fixed Packet Size:** 64-byte reports for simplicity
### Tools for Development
- **USBPcap:** Windows USB capture
- **Wireshark:** Protocol analysis with custom filters
- **libusb:** Cross-platform USB communication
- **hidapi:** Alternative HID-specific library
### Expected Challenges
1. **Timing:** Device expects responses within ~100ms
2. **Checksums:** May need to implement data validation
3. **Atomic Operations:** Write + Save must be atomic
4. **Device State:** Must track active profile and settings
5. **Error Recovery:** Handle disconnects and reconnection
## Current Status
**Protocol Status:** ✅ Fully Reverse-Engineered
**Documentation Status:** ✅ Complete
**Implementation Status:** 🔄 Ready for Development
**Next Step:** Implement libazeron protocol functions

## Reverse Engineering Process
### Phase 1: USB Traffic Capture
**Tools Used:**
- USBPcap 1.5.4.0
- Wireshark 4.0.0
- Azeron Windows Software v1.0.0
**Capture Method:**
```bash
USBPcapCMD.exe -d \\.\USBPcap6 -o capture.pcap -s 64
```
**Analysis Filters:**
```wireshark
usb.device_address == 8 && usb.transfer_type == 0x01 && usb.data_len == 64
```
### Phase 2: Protocol Discovery
**Key Findings:**
1. Configuration uses Interface 4 (not Interface 0 as initially assumed)
2. Protocol uses HID interrupt transfers, not vendor control transfers
3. Fixed 64-byte packet format
4. Request-response pattern for all commands
5. Two-phase write (write → save) for persistence
**Command IDs Identified:**
- 0x122a: Get Status (heartbeat)
- 0x12C8: Read Configuration
- 0x26FC: Write Profile Data
- 0x26FD: Save Profile
### Phase 3: Implementation Strategy
**Next Steps:**
1. Implement HID report parser in libazeron
2. Create command builder functions
3. Add button mapping support (30 buttons)
4. Implement joystick configuration
5. Add profile management
6. Create comprehensive test suite
**Estimated Timeline:** 2-3 weeks for full implementation
### Phase 4: Testing and Validation
**Test Plan:**
1. Read current configuration from device
2. Modify single button mapping
3. Write new configuration
4. Save to device
5. Verify persistence after power cycle
6. Test all 30 buttons
7. Test joystick modes
8. Test profile switching
**Validation Criteria:**
- All button mappings work correctly
- Joystick behaves as configured
- Profiles persist after power loss
- No device crashes or errors
- Performance: <100ms response time
### Tools for Reverse Engineering
#### USB Capture Tools
- **USBPcap**: Windows USB capture
- **Wireshark**: Protocol analysis
- **usbmon**: Linux kernel USB monitoring
- **libusb debug**: Enable debug output
#### Analysis Tools
- **Protocol analyzers**: Wireshark with USB dissectors
- **Hex editors**: For examining binary data
- **Custom scripts**: Python with pyusb for testing
### Expected Challenges
1. **Timing:** Device expects responses within ~100ms
2. **Checksums:** May need to implement data validation
3. **Atomic Operations:** Write + Save must be atomic
4. **Device State:** Must track active profile and settings
5. **Error Recovery:** Handle disconnects and reconnection
### Next Steps
1. **Implement Core Protocol:** Add HID report functions to libazeron
2. **Button Mapping UI:** Create user interface for configuring 30 buttons
3. **Joystick Configuration:** Add analog stick settings
4. **Profile Management:** Implement profile switching and persistence
5. **Testing:** Comprehensive test suite with all features
6. **Documentation:** Update user documentation
### Contributing
If you discover protocol details:
1. Document the command format
2. Provide USB capture files (PCAP format)
3. Include test code if available
4. Update this documentation
5. Submit pull request with changes
### Safety Notes
- Always test with backup configurations
- Be prepared to reset device to factory defaults
- Don't send malformed packets to device
- Monitor device temperature during testing
- Stop if device behaves unexpectedly
- Keep original configuration files as backup
