Linux Evdev Driver
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
Overview
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
The Linux event device (evdev) is a hardware-independent API that gives access to input events from,
|
||||
for example, a mouse or touchscreen. It is exposed via the Linux device file system interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Prerequisites
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Your system has an input device configured (usually under ``/dev/input/`` such as ``/dev/input/event0``).
|
||||
|
||||
Configuring the driver
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Enable the Linux LVGL evdev driver support in ``lv_conf.h``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
#define LV_USE_EVDEV 1
|
||||
|
||||
Usage
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
To set up an event input, first create an input device with ``lv_edev_create`` setting it to the correct Linux event device.
|
||||
Then link this to the LVGL display with ``lv_indev_set_display``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_indev_t *touch = lv_evdev_create(LV_INDEV_TYPE_POINTER, "/dev/input/event0");
|
||||
lv_indev_set_display(touch, disp);
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure that an ``lv_display_t`` object is already created for ``disp``. An example for this is shown below, using the Linux framebuffer driver.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_display_t * disp = lv_linux_fbdev
|
||||
lv_linux_fbdev_set_file(disp, "/dev/fb0");_create();
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Locating your input device
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you can't determine your input device, first run
|
||||
|
||||
```$cat /proc/bus/input/devices```
|
||||
|
||||
This should show input devices and there will be entries with the word ``event`` which give a clue as to the device to use eg. ``event1`` would be ``/dev/input/event1``.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use ``evtest`` to show data from that event source to see if it is actually the one you want.
|
||||
|
||||
Try:
|
||||
|
||||
``$evtest /dev/input/event1`` replacing ``eventX`` with your event device from above.
