Hi all, I have a HID device that upon user interaction sends a 237 byte HID report to the system. I would like to be able to read the raw data in user-space. I first tried writing a kernel driver which works great, except that on boot-up, usbhid keeps claiming the device before my driver can get probed. I could modify the hid-core.c and add my device to the blacklist, but I really need this to run on stock kernels.
So my next approach was to just let the hiddev driver take over and simply write a user app that communicates with /dev/hiddev0. If I do a read() on the file, I get tons of hiddev_events from the device, but for the life of me I can't seem to find a way to actually read the raw data from the report! Doing this in windows is as simple as a call to ReadFile() on the handle to the hid device. Can anyone either highlight the steps I need to take to do this, or point me to a link that describes this process? I think that this is one place in the kernel where a little more documentation would be nice.
