SDK for embedded Linux?

Post by ozgungunay »

I'm trying to make a real time controller which uses 3dconnexion space
explorer mouse.
The original driver uses x window and opens a settings window.

* Is there any driver for an embedded linux (without x window)?

* Do you have a sample program(and its' source code) which uses this driver?

Regards,
Ozgun Gunay


Platform Information
----------------------------
ubuntu 9.10 (RTAI patched)
gcc 4.1
space explorer

Hello Ozgun,

no we do not have a driver that doesn't need the XServer. You can address the device directly if you want. (USB/HID)

non-X11 HID driver

Hi,

there is an alternative driver available here:
http://spacenav.sourceforge.net

However, this still uses a daemon process. However, you can have a look at its implementation, which is based on HID.
I have adapted an own driver code, which directly accesses the HID API. The svn repo is here: https://svn.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/ci ... ouse/trunk

It has also a simple command-line demo included.
