This driver allows to write I/O drivers in user-space and feed the input into the HID subsystem. It operates on the same level as USB-HID and Bluetooth-HID (HIDP). It does not provide support to write special HID device drivers but rather provides support for user-space I/O devices to feed their data into the kernel HID subsystem. The HID subsystem then loads the HID device drivers for the device and provides input-devices based on the user-space HID I/O device. This driver register a new char-device (/dev/uhid). A user-space process has to open this file for each device that it wants to provide to the kernel. It can then use write/read to communicate with the UHID driver. Both input and output data is sent with a uhid_event structure. The "type" field of the structure specifies what kind of event is sent. There is a file in Documentation/ explaining the ABI.

The HID subsystem then parses the HID reports and +loads the corresponding HID device driver which then provides the parsed data +via input-devices to user-space. + +This allows user-space to operate on the same level as USB-HID, Bluetooth-HID +and similar. It does not provide a way to write HID device drivers, though! Use +HIDRAW for this purpose. + +UHID dynamically allocates the minor/major number, meaning that you should rely +on udev to create the UHID device node. Typically this is created as /dev/uhid. + +The UHID API +------------ + +For each device that you want to register with the HID core, you need to open a +separate file-descriptor on /dev/uhid. All communication is done by read()'ing +or write()'ing "struct uhid_event" objects to the file. Non-blocking operations +via O_NONBLOCK are supported. + +struct uhid_event { + __u32 type; + ... payload ... +}; + +write() +------- +write() allows you to modify the state of the device and feed input data into +the kernel. The following types are supported: UHID_CREATE, UHID_DESTROY and +UHID_INPUT. + + UHID_CREATE: + This creates the internal HID device. No I/O is possible until you send this + event to the kernel. The payload is of type struct uhid_create_req and + contains information about your device. + + UHID_DESTROY: + This destroys the internal HID device. No further I/O will be accepted. There + may still be pending messages that you can receive with read() but no further + UHID_INPUT events can be sent to the kernel. + You can create a new device by sending UHID_CREATE again. There is no need to + reopen the character device. + + UHID_INPUT: + You must send UHID_CREATE before sending input to the kernel! This event + contains a data-payload. This is the raw data that you read from your device. + The kernel will parse the HID reports and react on it. + +read() +------ +read() will return a queued ouput report. These output reports can be of type +UHID_START, UHID_STOP, UHID_OPEN, UHID_CLOSE, UHID_OUTPUT or UHID_OUTPUT_EV. No +reaction is required to any of them but you should handle them according to your +needs. Only UHID_OUTPUT and UHID_OUTPUT_EV have payloads. + + UHID_START: + This is sent when the HID device is started. Consider this as an answer to + UHID_CREATE. This is always the first event that is sent. No I/O is possible + before you read this. + + UHID_STOP: + This is sent when the HID device is stopped. Consider this as an answer to + UHID_DESTROY. No further I/O will be possible after receiving this. + If the kernel HID device driver closes the device manually (that is, you + didn't send UHID_DESTROY) then you should consider this device closed and send + an UHID_DESTROY event. You may want to reregister your device, though. + + UHID_OPEN: + This is sent when the HID device is opened. That is, the data that the HID + device provides is read by some other process. You may ignore this event but + it is useful for power-management. As long as you haven't received this event + there is actually no other process that reads your data so there is no need to + send UHID_INPUT events to the kernel. + + UHID_CLOSE: + This is sent when there are no more processes which read the HID data. It is + the counterpart of UHID_OPEN and you may as well ignore this event. + + UHID_OUTPUT: + This is sent if the HID device driver wants to send raw data to the I/O + device. You should read the payload and forward it to the device. The payload + is of type "struct uhid_data_req". + This may be received even though you haven't received UHID_OPEN, yet. + + UHID_OUTPUT_EV: + Same as UHID_OUTPUT but this contains a "struct input_event" as payload. This + is called for force-feedback, LED or similar events which are received through + an input device by the HID subsystem. You should convert this into raw reports + and send them to your device similar to events of type UHID_OUTPUT. + +Document by: + David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/drivers/hid/Kconfig b/drivers/hid/Kconfig index 54cc92f..cabe771 100644 --- a/drivers/hid/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/hid/Kconfig @@ -55,6 +55,27 @@ config HIDRAW If unsure, say Y. +config UHID + tristate "User-space I/O driver support for HID subsystem" + depends on HID + default n + ---help--- + Say Y here if you want to provide HID I/O drivers from user-space. + This allows to write I/O drivers in user-space and feed the data from + the device into the kernel.
