It's not strictly Linux anymore, but I wrote a library (or userspace driver?) in Python that interacts with a ChromeOS Embedded Controller found in Framework Laptops and Chromebooks. The driver part of it interacts with the EC directly over the IO ports, which was originally written for Linux but later ported to FreeBSD and Windows since IO ports aren't at all OS specific. It can also talk to the cros_ec_dev driver on Linux if it's loaded.

I wrote a GUI utility for Framework Laptops too, which also serves as the example for CrOS_EC_Python: https://github.com/Steve-Tech/YAFI

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
