Hello,
I have a small USB IR receiver device which is based on the HID protocol. I also
have sourcecode for a small daemon which accesses the device via "rawhid" and
offers an UDP server where LIRC may connect to.
My idea is to create a kernel module which allows the kernel built-in remote
control handling to take over the device. But I don't know how to convert the
existing C-sourcecode to something that may run as kernel module.
The easiest way would be to keep with rawhid, but this wouldn't allow
hotplugging. It would require the user to manually load the kernel module after
the device has been plugged and reload the module after unplugging and
replugging the device. Is hotplugging of a device, that basically is already
handled by the kernel and the hid kernel module, possible at all?
Can someone point me to the right direction, please?
Thanks in advance
Yours
Manuel
