| default y |
| ---help--- |
| A human interface device (HID) is a type of computer device that |
| interacts directly with and takes input from humans. The term "HID" |
| most commonly used to refer to the USB-HID specification, but other |
| devices (such as, but not strictly limited to, Bluetooth) are |
| designed using HID specification (this involves certain keyboards, |
| mice, tablets, etc). This option compiles into kernel the generic |
| HID layer code (parser, usages, etc.), which can then be used by |
| transport-specific HID implementation (like USB or Bluetooth). |
| |
| For docs and specs, see http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/ |
| |
| If unsure, say Y |
| |
| config HID_DEBUG |
| bool "HID debugging support" |
| default y if !EMBEDDED |
| depends on HID |
| ---help--- |
| This option lets the HID layer output diagnostics about its internal |
| state, resolve HID usages, dump HID fields, etc. Individual HID drivers |
| use this debugging facility to output information about individual HID |
| devices, etc. |
| |
| This feature is useful for those who are either debugging the HID parser |
| or any HID hardware device. |
| |
| If unsure, say N |
| |
| config HIDRAW |
| bool "/dev/hidraw raw HID device support" |
| depends on HID |
| ---help--- |
| Say Y here if you want to support HID devices (from the USB |
| specification standpoint) that aren't strictly user interface |
| devices, like monitor controls and Uninterruptable Power Supplies. |
| |
| This module supports these devices separately using a separate |
| event interface on /dev/hidraw. |
| |
| There is also a /dev/hiddev configuration option in the USB HID |
| configuration menu. In comparison to hiddev, this device does not process |
| the hid events at all (no parsing, no lookups). This lets applications |
| to work on raw hid events when they want to, and avoid using transport-specific |
| userspace libhid/libusb libraries. |
| |
| If unsure, say Y. |
