# gigabyte-gpu-lcd: reconstructing AORUS GPU LCD control

> gigabyte-gpu-lcd reconstructs I2C control of the LCD on a Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 MASTER ICE. Protocol notes derived from Gigabyte Control Center components map 256-byte commands, display modes, and image uploads; a Python library and CLI send static screens and RLE animations on Linux.
