# Open Trofeo LCD: implementing Thermalright Trofeo USB display control

> Open Trofeo LCD drives the Thermalright Trofeo Vision 9.16-inch display from Linux using documented USB transfers. Its notes combine the project's captures with prior trcc-linux work to describe initialization, JPEG frame chunks, and acknowledgments. A native PyUSB path feeds a dashboard with themes, system telemetry, media, weather, and game statistics.

## Requirements & limits

- **Prerequisites:** A Thermalright Trofeo Vision 9.16-inch LCD with USB ID 0416:5408 is the confirmed device.
- **Testing evidence:** Hardware use was validated on one physical unit running Kubuntu.
- **Limits:** The application is an active development preview; its final-packet handling supports several live-test strategies.
- **License:** Project code is licensed under GPL-3.0-only; third-party components retain their own licences.
