Headsetcontrol is a tool to control certain aspects of USB-connected headsets. Currently, support is provided for adjusting sidetone, getting battery state, controlling LEDs, and setting the inactive time.

This package provides tools for LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation based on the LXI Consortium standard which defines the communication protocols for modern instrumentation and data acquision systems using Ethernet.

This package provides user tools for the Trusted Computing Group's (TCG) TPM2 Software Stack (TSS). These programs help with common tasks such as key management, attestation, encryption, and signing.

This package provides a Guile Scheme API to control USB HID relay modules produced by dcttech.

This package provides the TCG TSS2. The stack contains libtss2-fapi, libtss2-esys, libtss2-sys, libtss2-mu, libtss2-tcti-device, libtss2-tcti-swtpm and libtss2-tcti-mssim.

Deskflow is a keyboard and mouse sharing app. Use the keyboard, mouse,or trackpad of one computer to control nearby computers, and work seamlessly between them. It's like a software KVM (but without the video). TLS encryption is enabled by default. It supports Wayland clipboard sharing.

Hardware Probe is a tool to probe for hardware, check its operability and find drivers.

ckb-next is a driver for Corsair keyboards and mice. It aims to bring the features of Corsair's proprietary software to Linux-based operating systems. It already supports much of the same functionality, including full RGB animations.

Liquidctl is a package with tools, drivers and a Python library to work with liquid cooling equipment such as AIO coolers, fan controllers and other devices.

USBGuard is a software framework for implementing USB device authorization policies (what kind of USB devices are authorized) as well as method of use policies (how a USB device may interact with the system). Simply put, it is a USB device whitelisting tool.

Memtest86+ is a thorough, stand-alone memory test for x86 systems. It repeatedly writes different patterns to all memory locations, reads them back again, and verifies whether the result is the same as what was written. This can help debug even intermittent and non-deterministic errors.

It runs independently of any operating system, at computer boot-up, so that it can scan as much of your RAM as possible for hardware defects.

Wavemon is a wireless device monitor with an interactive ncurses terminal interface. It can display and plot signal and noise levels in real time. It also reports packet statistics, device configuration, network parameters, and access points and other wireless clients of your wireless network hardware.

Wavemon should work (with varying levels of detail and features) with any device supported by the Linux kernel.

ddcui is a graphical user interface for ddcutil, implemented using Qt. It provide a dynamic way to inspect and configure external monitors through the Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) protocol.

This package provides tools for exploring Nvidia's proprietary GPU drivers, including an assembler and a disassembler for several GPU instruction sets, and tools to deal with register databases.

HwInfo is used to probe for the hardware present in the system. It can be used to generate a system overview log which can be later used for support.

The MSR Tools project provides console utilities to directly access the Model-Specific Registers (MSRs) and CPU ID of Intel-compatible processors:

• cpuid: show identification and feature information of any CPU

• rdmsr: read MSRs from any CPU or all CPUs

• wrmsr: write to MSRs on any CPU or all CPUs

These tools can be used to query and modify certain low-level CPU parameters, such as the Turbo Boost ratio and Thermal Design Power (TDP) limits.

MSR addresses differ (greatly) between processors, and any such modification can be dangerous and may void your CPU or system board's warranty.

Brillo is a command line tool to control the brightness of backlight and LED devices on Linux.

Notable features include:

• Automatic best controller detection

• Smooth transitions and natural brightness adjustments

• Ability to save and restore brightness across boots

• Directly using sysfs to set brightness without relying on X

• Unprivileged access with no new setuid binaries

• Containment with AppArmor

ddcutil can query and modify most external monitors' settings, such as brightness, colour levels, and input sources. Generally speaking, any setting that can be changed by pressing buttons on the monitor can be modified by ddcutil.

ddcutil communicates directly with monitors implementing the Monitor Control Command Set (MCCS). It usually does so through the the Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) protocol on the I2C bus, but can also communicate over USB as per the USB Monitor Control Class Specification.

One particular use case is in colour profile management. Monitor calibration is relative to the monitor colour settings currently in effect, e.g. red gain. ddcutil allows colour-related settings to be saved at the time a monitor is calibrated, and restored when the calibration is applied.

This package includes udev rules that can be used by adding this package to the rules field of the udev-configuration record. It gives read/write access to i2c devices to users in the i2c group.

libsmbios provides a library to interface with the SMBIOS tables. It also provides extensions for proprietary methods of interfacing with Dell specific SMBIOS tables.

OpenHMD aims to provide an API and drivers for immersive technology, such as head mounted displays with built in head tracking.

edid-decode decodes EDID monitor description data in human-readable format and checks if it conforms to the standards.

Libcpuid is a small C library to get vendor, model, branding string, code name and other information from x86 CPU. This library is not to be confused with the cpuid command line utility from package cpuid.

This is a Linux driver based on hidapi for a variety of inexpensive HID compatible USB relay modules available with different number of output relays.

Memtester stress-tests the memory subsystem of your operating system and computer. It repeatedly writes different patterns to all memory locations, reads them back again, and verifies whether the result is the same as what was written. This can help debug even intermittent and non-deterministic errors.

Memtester runs entirely in user space. This means that you don't need to reboot to test your memory, but also that it's not possible to test all of the RAM installed in the system.

It can also be told to test memory starting at a particular physical address.
