Dear,
Driver development is not very easy. In most case, experienced driver
developer must have braille display to develop specific driver for it.
And because Braille display is not cheap as a mobile phone SIM cart or
so cheap as most cheapest mobile phone model on The market, driver
developer must obtain this device.
Next problem. Braille display manufacturer must provide The necessary
technical informaton to The driver developer. In other case,
reverseengineering work based on analysis The communication between
computer and device is needed. By uswing special USB transfer monitoring
apps. And this is not easy.
Try to ask Dave Mielke on Brltty mailing list. Problem is, that by
driving Braille device incorrectly can cause hardware damage of the
device. So kernel driver development and eevice driver development is
really not such kind of experimenting like while debugging simple
program which do not drive specific device directly.
I have read one article, that first versions of Brltty had difficulty
with this. And that one Braille device have been accidentally damaged.
So one manufacturer has borrowed display Braille display to The
responsible developer.
I do not know, who has so big C or C++ knowledge that he is able to
incorporate new Braille device driver to Brltty package.
May be, MR Tibault and Dave Mielke? Or MR Mielke alone?
Linux for blind general discussion napsal(a):
Hi,
Many South Africans are eagerly awaiting the release of the Orbit
braille display.
Does anyone know if someone is working on adding support for this
braille display to brltty?
TIA, Willem
