7 * The code may be used by anyone for any purpose,
8 * and can serve as a starting point for developing
9 * applications using uhid.
14 * This example emulates a basic 3 buttons mouse with wheel over UHID. Run this
15 * program as root and then use the following keys to control the mouse:
16 * q: Quit the application
17 * 1: Toggle left button (down, up, ...)
18 * 2: Toggle right button
19 * 3: Toggle middle button
27 * Additionally to 3 button mouse, 3 keyboard LEDs are also supported (LED_NUML,
28 * LED_CAPSL and LED_SCROLLL). The device doesn't generate any related keyboard
29 * events, though. You need to manually write the EV_LED/LED_XY/1 activation
30 * input event to the evdev device to see it being sent to this device.
32 * If uhid is not available as /dev/uhid, then you can pass a different path as
34 * If <linux/uhid.h> is not installed in /usr, then compile this with:
35 * gcc -o ./uhid_test -Wall -I./include ./samples/uhid/uhid-example.c
36 * And ignore the warning about kernel headers. However, it is recommended to
37 * use the installed uhid.h if available.
49 #include <linux/uhid.h>
52 * HID Report Desciptor
53 * We emulate a basic 3 button mouse with wheel and 3 keyboard LEDs. This is
54 * the report-descriptor as the kernel will parse it:
58 * Physical(GenericDesktop.Pointer)
59 * Application(GenericDesktop.Mouse)
69 * Flags( Variable Absolute )
71 * Physical(GenericDesktop.Pointer)
72 * Application(GenericDesktop.Mouse)
76 * GenericDesktop.Wheel
77 * Logical Minimum(-128)
78 * Logical Maximum(127)
82 * Flags( Variable Relative )
85 * Application(GenericDesktop.Keyboard)
95 * Flags( Variable Absolute )
97 * This is the mapping that we expect:
98 * Button.0001 ---> Key.LeftBtn
99 * Button.0002 ---> Key.RightBtn
100 * Button.0003 ---> Key.MiddleBtn
101 * GenericDesktop.X ---> Relative.X
102 * GenericDesktop.Y ---> Relative.Y
103 * GenericDesktop.Wheel ---> Relative.Wheel
104 * LED.NumLock ---> LED.NumLock
105 * LED.CapsLock ---> LED.CapsLock
106 * LED.ScrollLock ---> LED.ScrollLock
108 * This information can be verified by reading /sys/kernel/debug/hid/<dev>/rdesc
109 * This file should print the same information as showed above.
