Hi I have hacked together a small driver which allows user-space I/O drivers to provide HID devices. This is needed for Bluetooth-Low-Energy HID devices as the Bluetooth-LE protocol is parsed in user-space. I have only compile-tested this driver, I haven't run it yet. It's just an proposal how this could be implemented. It should also work as hint to the BT-LE developers how such an interface will look-like.
First of all, thanks for your effort. I haven't looked at the code yet, but thinking again about the problem and since it's very similar to uinput, would adding another ioctl to uinput that receives the HID descriptor and put uinput in a "HID mode" be sufficient? This way we could increase code reuse and ease maintainance, I guess. What do you think? -- João Paulo Rechi Vita Openbossa Labs - INdT
