| ---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. | |
