Linux USB HID gadget driver
===========================

Introduction
============

The HID Gadget driver provides emulation of USB Human Interface
Devices (HID). The basic HID handling is done in the kernel,
and HID reports can be sent/received through I/O on the
/dev/hidgX character devices.

For more details about HID, see the developer page on
https://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/

Configuration
=============

g_hid is a platform driver, so to use it you need to add
struct platform_device(s) to your platform code defining the
HID function descriptors you want to use - E.G. something
like::

  #include <linux/platform_device.h>
  #include <linux/usb/g_hid.h>

  /* hid descriptor for a keyboard */
  static struct hidg_func_descriptor my_hid_data = {
	.subclass		= 0, /* No subclass */
	.protocol		= 1, /* Keyboard */
	.report_length		= 8,
	.report_desc_length	= 63,
	.report_desc		= {
		0x05, 0x01,	/* USAGE_PAGE (Generic Desktop)	          */
		0x09, 0x06,	/* USAGE (Keyboard)                       */
		0xa1, 0x01,	/* COLLECTION (Application)               */
		0x05, 0x07,	/*   USAGE_PAGE (Keyboard)                */
		0x19, 0xe0,	/*   USAGE_MINIMUM (Keyboard LeftControl) */
		0x29, 0xe7,	/*   USAGE_MAXIMUM (Keyboard Right GUI)   */
		0x15, 0x00,	/*   LOGICAL_MINIMUM (0)                  */
		0x25, 0x01,	/*   LOGICAL_MAXIMUM (1)                  */

		0x81, 0x02,	/*   INPUT (Data,Var,Abs)                 */
		0x95, 0x01,	/*   REPORT_COUNT (1)                     */
		0x75, 0x08,	/*   REPORT_SIZE (8)                      */
		0x81, 0x03,	/*   INPUT (Cnst,Var,Abs)                 */
		0x95, 0x05,	/*   REPORT_COUNT (5)                     */
		0x75, 0x01,	/*   REPORT_SIZE (1)                      */
		0x05, 0x08,	/*   USAGE_PAGE (LEDs)                    */
		0x19, 0x01,	/*   USAGE_MINIMUM (Num Lock)             */
		0x29, 0x05,	/*   USAGE_MAXIMUM (Kana)                 */
		0x91, 0x02,	/*   OUTPUT (Data,Var,Abs)                */
		0x95, 0x01,	/*   REPORT_COUNT (1)                     */
		0x75, 0x03,	/*   REPORT_SIZE (3)                      */
		0x91, 0x03,	/*   OUTPUT (Cnst,Var,Abs)                */
		0x95, 0x06,	/*   REPORT_COUNT (6)                     */
		0x75, 0x08,	/*   REPORT_SIZE (8)                      */
		0x15, 0x00,	/*   LOGICAL_MINIMUM (0)                  */
		0x25, 0x65,	/*   LOGICAL_MAXIMUM (101)                */
		0x05, 0x07,	/*   USAGE_PAGE (Keyboard)                */
		0x19, 0x00,	/*   USAGE_MINIMUM (Reserved)             */
		0x29, 0x65,	/*   USAGE_MAXIMUM (Keyboard Application) */
		0x81, 0x00,	/*   INPUT (Data,Ary,Abs)                 */
		0xc0		/* END_COLLECTION                         */
	}
  };

  static struct platform_device my_hid = {
	.name			= "hidg",
	.id			= 0,
	.num_resources		= 0,
	.resource		= 0,
	.dev.platform_data	= &my_hid_data,
  };

You can add as many HID functions as you want, only limited by
the amount of interrupt endpoints your gadget driver supports.

Configuration with configfs
===========================

Instead of adding fake platform devices and drivers in order to pass
some data to the kernel, if HID is a part of a gadget composed with
configfs the hidg_func_descriptor.report_desc is passed to the kernel
by writing the appropriate stream of bytes to a configfs attribute.

Send and receive HID reports
============================

HID reports can be sent/received using read/write on the
/dev/hidgX character devices. See below for an example program
to do this.

hid_gadget_test is a small interactive program to test the HID
gadget driver. To use, point it at a hidg device and set the
device type (keyboard / mouse / joystick) - E.G.::

	# hid_gadget_test /dev/hidg0 keyboard

You are now in the prompt of hid_gadget_test. You can type any
combination of options and values. Available options and
values are listed at program start. In keyboard mode you can
send up to six values.

For example type: g i s t r --left-shift

Hit return and the corresponding report will be sent by the
HID gadget.

Another interesting example is the caps lock test. Type
--caps-lock and hit return. A report is then sent by the
gadget and you should receive the host answer, corresponding
to the caps lock LED status::

	--caps-lock
	recv report:2

With this command::

	# hid_gadget_test /dev/hidg1 mouse

You can test the mouse emulation. Values are two signed numbers.
