Thanks for pointing out:) Sensor Framework provides identical API interfaces for Moblin(definitely for Linux) with hiding hardware details. We are a pluggable system, so applications need not care vendor of sensor they are accessing, plugins of framework talk to sensor driver or sensor library and push data to applications thru API of framework. Phidget's userspace library is well organized, leveraging it I have supported its USB accelerometer in sensor framework. Meanwhile I found phidget only allows application exclusively accesses device while sensor framework provides multi-access capability. I hope my framework could support more and more sensors from different vendors, then developers could focus on application itself without learning various driver interfaces or libraries. Below are homepage of sensor framework and its API reference. We are still in developing, comments and patches are always welcome. http://moblin.org/projects/sensor-framework http://moblin.org/sites/all/files/moblin2.1api/html/sensor/index.html Thanks. > >greg k-h _______________________________________________ Moblin dev Mailing List [email protected] To manage or unsubscribe from this mailing list visit: http://lists.moblin.org/listinfo/dev or your user account on http://moblin.org once logged in.
