Device Specific Configurations
ChimeraOS's design philosophy is to cast a wide net when it comes to compatibility of hardware. The ability to install on as many configurations as possible sometimes presents the opportunity for conflicts with necessary quirks or workarounds for specific devices. As such, these are not normally enabled by default but if well understood they can be included in the image in a disabled state. This page attempts to document these quirks and how to enable them for a given device.
While we do our best to thoroughly test each device quirk that is listed here, a multitude of variables can change the efficacy and/or safety of any particular tweak. ChimeraOS and the ChimeraOS Development Team provide no guarantee that the following tweaks, quirks, workarounds, fixes, and information contained herein will not cause malfunctions or damage to the installed equipment or users. Any use of this information constitutes agreement by the user that it shall be considered at ones own risk and no liability shall be incurred on any member of the ChimeraOS Development Team or the ChimeraOS Organization. If any adverse affects are noted, please report the issue so the circumstances can be understood and the information updated and/or removed.
Issue: The display EDID is incomplete leading to certain refresh rates not working properly. Firmware Overrides can be enabled that resolve the screen refresh rates.
Issue: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Audio, or extra keys stop working. This can happen after the system goes into suspend, after booting to Linux after being in the BIOS, or may occur randomly after a few successful boots.
- Solutions: 1.) Do a cold boot by holding power for 10 seconds. This clears the bad power state on some of the components and allows them to properly initialize on the next boot sequence.
1.)Firmware Overrides MUST be used for audio to work properly as of BIOS 322.
- Solutions:
1.) (v42+) Enable the systemd unit that controls the LED's.
1.1) sudo systemctl enable --now ayaled
1.2) See the ayaled readme for usage instructions.
Firmware Overrides can be enabled that changes the ACPI ID of the BMI160 to properly load in the kernel driver.
This is due to a hardware defect from the factory
- Identification: Watch this video. If the in/out of phase sections seem backwards, apply this fix.
- Solutions:
1.) (v42+) Enable the systemd unit that inverts the phase of one speaker.
1.1) systemctl --user enable --now aya-air-audio
1.2) In the audio settings, select the new AYANEO device.
2.) AYANEO have recently announced they are offering a hardware kit with updated speakers. This will require disassembly of the unit. Contact [email protected] for information on a replacement.
