## Display

The integrated 800x1280 display is a portrait tablet display that is displayed in a landscape orientation. A patch [has already been submitted](https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2021-October/325780.html) to the `dri-devel` mailing list to fix the issue.

Without the patch above, installing `phosh` allows for rotating the screen between landscape and portrait and shows the orientation correctly in the interface.

## Controller

The built-in controller registers as an Xbox360 controller. A linear vibration motor exists, but does not work when tested with Rise of the Tomb Raider, which has rumble support.

## Bluetooth

Bluetooth is not working out of the box (as of kernel 5.15.0-rc3. Wifi/Bluetooth module is the AMD RZ608 hardware, which is a re-badged Mediatek MT7921.

## Gyro/IMU

Gyro/IMU is a BMI160. It is unclear how this is wired up and how to connect to it.

Note that there are both existing I2C & SPI kernel modules for the BMI160 (`bmi160_i2c` & `bmi160_spi`), so hopefully those can be trivially reused.

## Special keys

The front of the device has 4 special keys on the bottom right that are mapped through an additional USB keyboard device:

Key | Visible?1 | Marked?2 | Effect
--- | --- | --- | ---
`WIN` | Yes | Yes | Inputs `Super`
`ESC` | Yes | Yes | Inputs `Esc`
`KB` | Yes | Yes | Inputs `Ctrl+Super+O` (Opens the virtual keyboard on Windows)
`TM` | Yes | Yes | Inputs `Ctrl+Alt+Del` (Opens the Task Manager on Windows)

1. The key is visible to `xev` and similar tools
2. The physical key has a symbol on it, which describes its function
