Introduction

Because the standard to connect custom capacitive touch devices(single- or multi-touch) is not defined, this resulted in having a variety of touch drivers interface. General speaking, USB/HID and I2C are the common hardware interface.

Configure

  • HID interface

Enable HID in menuconfig 

Device Drivers --->
       Input device support --->
            <*> Event interface Miscellaneous devices --->
                  <*>User level driver support 
       HID Devices --->
            [*]/dev/hidraw raw HID device support Special HID drivers --->
                  <*> HID Multitouch panels 
  • I2C interface

Enable I2C bus in menuconfig 


Device drivers --->
        I2C support  --->
            <*> I2C support
                [*]   Enable compatibility bits for old user-space
                <*>   I2C device interface
                <*>   I2C bus multiplexing support
                        Multiplexer I2C Chip support  --->

copy and rename .config to arch/arm/configs/imx_v7_android_defconfig

Test

The getevent tool provides information about the touch device.
