Dear all,

I have a 3DtouchPad from microchip and I am connecting it to the 
PocketBeagle. Compilation of the makefile works fine after some tweaking.
(device: https://www.microchip.com/DevelopmentTools/ProductDetails/DM160225)

The problem is that the device does not work as it is supposed to work.

I have compiled the same SDK on an intel computer using both windows10 and 
Ubuntu 18 (newest). Both work perfect.

The chip that communicates with the computer is the MTCH63XX: I2C to USB 
and it makes that the device is seen as a HID device. The library offers 
the possibility to use two drivers: hidraw and a driver through 
hid-libusb.c. Both show the same flawed behaviour on the PocketBeagle.

The device opens ok with the beagle and sort of works but the beagle 
apparently cannot keep up with the data and the data that is shown is 
shaky. The device is multitouch and when more than 1 finger is present the 
other fingers are not shown stable. One finger is also seen as a different 
finger all the time... 3D data is not showing accurately.

My hunch is that the HID implementation on the ARM is done differently than 
on an intel architecture, but I am not sure how that could cause the 
problem. Are there ways to tweak settings of HID maybe?

Some info. Using dmesg the device shows up as follows

So the mount point does not show up...

But the device seems to be here:


root@beaglebone:/sys/bus/hid/devices# ls

0003:04D8:09D3.0005  0003:04D8:09D3.0006


And also:

root@beaglebone:/sys/bus/hid/devices# find / -name "0003:04D8:09D3.0005"

/sys/kernel/debug/hid/0003:04D8:09D3.0005

/sys/devices/platform/ocp/47400000.usb/47401c00.usb/musb-hdrc.1/usb2/2-1/2-1.4/2-1.4:1.0/0003:04D8:09D3.0005

/sys/bus/hid/devices/0003:04D8:09D3.0005

/sys/bus/hid/drivers/hid-generic/0003:04D8:09D3.0005


The 0005 and 0006 correspond to the mouse and the device (I guess that is 
the 2D vs 3D device. One of the two is active). 0005 and 0006 because I 
reconnected two times.


My current configuration: Linux beaglebone 4.14.108-ti-r127


Any nudges in the right direction are welcome.


Best, Hans.
