Great result - it would be nice to learn how this could be used..

How would you connect a Tamron lens to a Linux machine? Is this with the external USB port or Bluetooth dongle? Or through the bayonet connector? A linx camera controlling it's lens?

Just for settings and firmware update? Or some imaging workflow? Can you give a practical example of Linux also controlling the camera?

New Tamron lenses have built-in usb-c port close to the lens mount. The utility just replicates what official Windows/Mac software does - not much, configuration of focus-by-wire, corrections, button functions.
