6 * The code may be used by anyone for any purpose,
7 * and can serve as a starting point for developing
8 * applications using uhid.
13 * This example emulates a basic 3 buttons mouse with wheel over UHID. Run this
14 * program as root and then use the following keys to control the mouse:
15 * q: Quit the application
16 * 1: Toggle left button (down, up, ...)
17 * 2: Toggle right button
18 * 3: Toggle middle button
26 * Additionally to 3 button mouse, 3 keyboard LEDs are also supported (LED_NUML,
27 * LED_CAPSL and LED_SCROLLL). The device doesn't generate any related keyboard
28 * events, though. You need to manually write the EV_LED/LED_XY/1 activation
29 * input event to the evdev device to see it being sent to this device.
31 * If uhid is not available as /dev/uhid, then you can pass a different path as
33 * If <linux/uhid.h> is not installed in /usr, then compile this with:
34 * gcc -o ./uhid_test -Wall -I./include ./samples/uhid/uhid-example.c
35 * And ignore the warning about kernel headers. However, it is recommended to
36 * use the installed uhid.h if available.
48 #include <linux/uhid.h>
51 * HID Report Desciptor
52 * We emulate a basic 3 button mouse with wheel and 3 keyboard LEDs. This is
53 * the report-descriptor as the kernel will parse it:
57 * Physical(GenericDesktop.Pointer)
58 * Application(GenericDesktop.Mouse)
68 * Flags( Variable Absolute )
70 * Physical(GenericDesktop.Pointer)
71 * Application(GenericDesktop.Mouse)
75 * GenericDesktop.Wheel
76 * Logical Minimum(-128)
77 * Logical Maximum(127)
81 * Flags( Variable Relative )
84 * Application(GenericDesktop.Keyboard)
94 * Flags( Variable Absolute )
96 * This is the mapping that we expect:
97 * Button.0001 ---> Key.LeftBtn
98 * Button.0002 ---> Key.RightBtn
99 * Button.0003 ---> Key.MiddleBtn
100 * GenericDesktop.X ---> Relative.X
101 * GenericDesktop.Y ---> Relative.Y
102 * GenericDesktop.Wheel ---> Relative.Wheel
103 * LED.NumLock ---> LED.NumLock
104 * LED.CapsLock ---> LED.CapsLock
105 * LED.ScrollLock ---> LED.ScrollLock
107 * This information can be verified by reading /sys/kernel/debug/hid/<dev>/rdesc
108 * This file should print the same information as showed above.
