Subject: [RFC PATCH] HID: iota-ups: add driver for LattePanda IOTA UPS
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 03:20:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316072034.56694-1-andrewmaney05@gmail.com> (raw)
This driver exposes the DFRobot LattePanda IOTA UPS board as a standard
power_supply device, allowing desktop environments and power management
tools such as UPower and systemd-logind to display battery status,
remaining capacity, and charging status without any special
configuration. It also enables automatic suspend or shutdown on low
battery and power profile configuration via any tool that supports the
standard power_supply interface.
The UPS presents itself as an Arduino Leonardo HID device running custom
firmware (VID 0x2341, PID 0x8036). It reports status and capacity via
HID reports 0x07 and 0x0C respectively.
The charge limit (80% or 100%) is configured via a physical DIP switch
on the UPS board and cannot be detected automatically. Userspace can
inform the driver of the configured limit via
charge_control_end_threshold.
Known issue: the driver occasionally reports 0% capacity briefly on
initial load before the first valid HID report is received. I am
investigating the cause.
