HIDRAW - Raw Access to USB and Bluetooth Human Interface Devices
================================================================
The hidraw driver provides a raw interface to USB and Bluetooth Human
Interface Devices (HIDs). It differs from hiddev in that reports sent and
received are not parsed by the HID parser, but are sent to and received from
the device unmodified.
Hidraw should be used if the userspace application knows exactly how to
communicate with the hardware device, and is able to construct the HID
reports manually. This is often the case when making userspace drivers for
custom HID devices.
Hidraw is also useful for communicating with non-conformant HID devices
which send and receive data in a way that is inconsistent with their report
descriptors. Because hiddev parses reports which are sent and received
through it, checking them against the device's report descriptor, such
communication with these non-conformant devices is impossible using hiddev.
Hidraw is the only alternative, short of writing a custom kernel driver, for
these non-conformant devices.
A benefit of hidraw is that its use by userspace applications is independent
of the underlying hardware type. Currently, hidraw is implemented for USB
and Bluetooth. In the future, as new hardware bus types are developed which
use the HID specification, hidraw will be expanded to add support for these
new bus types.
Hidraw uses a dynamic major number, meaning that udev should be relied on to
create hidraw device nodes. Udev will typically create the device nodes
directly under /dev (eg: /dev/hidraw0). As this location is distribution-
and udev rule-dependent, applications should use libudev to locate hidraw
devices attached to the system. There is a tutorial on libudev with a
working example at::

The HIDRAW API
---------------
read()
-------
read() will read a queued report received from the HID device. On USB
devices, the reports read using read() are the reports sent from the device
on the INTERRUPT IN endpoint. By default, read() will block until there is
a report available to be read. read() can be made non-blocking, by passing
the O_NONBLOCK flag to open(), or by setting the O_NONBLOCK flag using
fcntl().
On a device which uses numbered reports, the first byte of the returned data
will be the report number; the report data follows, beginning in the second
byte. For devices which do not use numbered reports, the report data
will begin at the first byte.
write()
-------
The write() function will write a report to the device. For USB devices, if
the device has an INTERRUPT OUT endpoint, the report will be sent on that
endpoint. If it does not, the report will be sent over the control endpoint,
using a SET_REPORT transfer.
The first byte of the buffer passed to write() should be set to the report
number. If the device does not use numbered reports, the first byte should
be set to 0. The report data itself should begin at the second byte.
ioctl()
-------
Hidraw supports the following ioctls:
HIDIOCGRDESCSIZE:
Get Report Descriptor Size
This ioctl will get the size of the device's report descriptor.
HIDIOCGRDESC:
Get Report Descriptor
This ioctl returns the device's report descriptor using a
hidraw_report_descriptor struct. Make sure to set the size field of the
hidraw_report_descriptor struct to the size returned from HIDIOCGRDESCSIZE.
HIDIOCGRAWINFO:
Get Raw Info
This ioctl will return a hidraw_devinfo struct containing the bus type, the
vendor ID (VID), and product ID (PID) of the device. The bus type can be one
of::
- BUS_USB
- BUS_HIL
- BUS_BLUETOOTH
- BUS_VIRTUAL
which are defined in uapi/linux/input.h.
HIDIOCGRAWNAME(len):
Get Raw Name
This ioctl returns a string containing the vendor and product strings of
the device. The returned string is Unicode, UTF-8 encoded.
HIDIOCGRAWPHYS(len):
Get Physical Address
This ioctl returns a string representing the physical address of the device.
For USB devices, the string contains the physical path to the device (the
USB controller, hubs, ports, etc). For Bluetooth devices, the string
contains the hardware (MAC) address of the device.
HIDIOCSFEATURE(len):
Send a Feature Report
This ioctl will send a feature report to the device. Per the HID
specification, feature reports are always sent using the control endpoint.
Set the first byte of the supplied buffer to the report number. For devices
which do not use numbered reports, set the first byte to 0. The report data
begins in the second byte. Make sure to set len accordingly, to one more
than the length of the report (to account for the report number).
HIDIOCGFEATURE(len):
Get a Feature Report
This ioctl will request a feature report from the device using the control
endpoint. The first byte of the supplied buffer should be set to the report
number of the requested report. For devices which do not use numbered
reports, set the first byte to 0. The returned report buffer will contain the
report number in the first byte, followed by the report data read from the
device. For devices which do not use numbered reports, the report data will
begin at the first byte of the returned buffer.
HIDIOCSINPUT(len):
Send an Input Report
This ioctl will send an input report to the device, using the control endpoint.
In most cases, setting an input HID report on a device is meaningless and has
no effect, but some devices may choose to use this to set or reset an initial
state of a report. The format of the buffer issued with this report is identical
to that of HIDIOCSFEATURE.
HIDIOCGINPUT(len):
Get an Input Report
This ioctl will request an input report from the device using the control
endpoint. This is slower on most devices where a dedicated In endpoint exists
for regular input reports, but allows the host to request the value of a
specific report number. Typically, this is used to request the initial states of
an input report of a device, before an application listens for normal reports via
the regular device read() interface. The format of the buffer issued with this report
is identical to that of HIDIOCGFEATURE.
HIDIOCSOUTPUT(len):
Send an Output Report
This ioctl will send an output report to the device, using the control endpoint.
This is slower on most devices where a dedicated Out endpoint exists for regular
output reports, but is added for completeness. Typically, this is used to set
the initial states of an output report of a device, before an application sends
updates via the regular device write() interface. The format of the buffer issued
with this report is identical to that of HIDIOCSFEATURE.
HIDIOCGOUTPUT(len):
Get an Output Report
This ioctl will request an output report from the device using the control
endpoint. Typically, this is used to retrieve the initial state of
an output report of a device, before an application updates it as necessary either
via a HIDIOCSOUTPUT request, or the regular device write() interface. The format
of the buffer issued with this report is identical to that of HIDIOCGFEATURE.
Example

In samples/, find hid-example.c, which shows examples of read(), write(),
and all the ioctls for hidraw. The code may be used by anyone for any
purpose, and can serve as a starting point for developing applications using
hidraw.

수정되지 않은 raw HID 접근
1-38Hidraw driver는 USB와 Bluetooth HID에 raw interface를 제공합니다. 송수신 report를 HID parser가 해석하지 않고 device에 보낸 그대로, device에서 받은 그대로 전달한다는 점이 hiddev와 다릅니다.
Userspace application이 hardware device의 통신 방법을 정확히 알고 HID report를 직접 구성할 수 있을 때 hidraw를 사용해야 합니다. Custom HID device의 userspace driver를 만들 때 흔한 방식입니다.
Hidraw는 실제 송수신 data가 report descriptor와 일치하지 않는 비준수 HID device와 통신할 때도 유용합니다. Hiddev는 report를 parse하고 descriptor와 검사하므로 이런 device와 통신할 수 없습니다.
Custom kernel driver를 작성하지 않는다면 hidraw가 비준수 device를 위한 유일한 대안입니다.
Hidraw userspace API는 underlying hardware type과 독립적입니다. 현재 USB와 Bluetooth에 구현되어 있으며 HID 명세를 사용하는 새 bus가 생기면 지원 범위를 확장할 수 있습니다.
Hidraw는 dynamic major number를 사용하므로 device node 생성은 udev에 맡겨야 합니다. Udev는 보통 `/dev/hidraw0`처럼 `/dev` 바로 아래에 node를 만듭니다.
위치는 distribution과 udev rule에 따라 달라지므로 application은 libudev로 system에 연결된 hidraw device를 찾아야 합니다. 원문은 Signal 11의 libudev tutorial과 web archive link를 제공합니다.

read·write report buffer 규칙
39-65`read()`는 HID device에서 받은 queued report를 읽습니다. USB에서는 device의 INTERRUPT IN endpoint가 보낸 report입니다.
기본적으로 읽을 report가 생길 때까지 block합니다. `open()`에 `O_NONBLOCK`을 주거나 `fcntl()`로 flag를 설정하면 non-blocking으로 만들 수 있습니다.
Numbered report를 사용하는 device에서는 반환 data의 첫 byte가 report number이고 둘째 byte부터 report data가 이어집니다. Numbered report를 사용하지 않으면 첫 byte부터 report data입니다.
`write()`는 report를 device에 씁니다. USB device에 INTERRUPT OUT endpoint가 있으면 그 endpoint로 보내고, 없으면 control endpoint의 SET_REPORT transfer로 보냅니다.
`write()` buffer의 첫 byte는 report number여야 합니다. Numbered report를 사용하지 않으면 첫 byte를 `0`으로 두며 실제 report data는 둘째 byte부터 시작합니다.
