Hi- I'm trying to find out which subsystem maintainer I should be talking to - apologies if I'm addressing the wrong people. There is a model for doing touch processing where the touch controller becomes a much simpler device which sends out raw acquisitions (over SPI at up to 1Mbps + protocol overheads). All touch processing is then done in user space by the host CPU. An example of this is NVIDIA DirectTouch - see: http://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2012/02/24/industry-adopts-nvidia-directtouch/ In the spirit of "upstream first", I'm trying to figure out how to get a driver accepted. Obviously it's not an input device in the normal sense. Is it acceptable just to send the raw touch data out via a char device? Is there another subsystem which is a good match (eg IIO)? Does the protocol (there is ancillary/control data as well) need to be documented? cheers -- Nick Dyer Senior Software Engineer, ITDev Fully Managed Technology Design Services +44 (0)23 80988855 - http://www.itdev.co.uk -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
