Re: haptics devices linux driver support

Hi,

I am interested to know real examples of haptic devices you speak about.
It would be nice if you send some links or pics.

I remember there was the same problem categorizing other input devices
like accelerometers.

Thanks

Hi,

There's three types as I know,

1) just GPIO enable motor
2) GPIO & PWM motor.
3) I2C based GPIO & PWM motor.

Frankly we made a motor framework at kernel. but I 'm not sure motor
is right naming or not.
I think we need new framework. since it's not input device.
I am looking at 3rd type, and evaulating that for embedded systems
devices having haptics chips can be programmed under drivers/input or
not. It is kind of early discussion and gathering inputs on what could
be lacking part in input subsystem for support such category of
devices.

Is it possible for you to submit your version of code and drivers? It
will be good starting point for discussion.
