### Checking board ID
## Controlling Input Deck State

The input deck (keyboard, touchpad) on many laptops is detected by the EC
firmware and only powered if it is installed.

On Laptop 16 the whole input deck is powered on/off.
On Laptop 13, Laptop 12 only the touchpad, the keyboard is just switches connected to the EC.

The following mainboards support auto detection:

- Laptop 12 - Every Model
- Laptop 16 - Every Model
- Laptop 13

- AMD Ryzen AI 300
- Intel Core Ultra Series 3

To manually control the power state of the input deck, use the following commands:

```
# Always off (No detection)
framework_tool --inputdeck-mode off

# Always on (No detection)
framework_tool --inputdeck-mode on

# Auto detect (Default behavior)
framework_tool --inputdeck-mode auto
```

## Checking board ID

Most inputdeck checking is implemented by Board ID. To read those directly for
debugging low level issues, use the `--boardid` command.
