I'm currently looking at developing a way to interface with a couple of HID devices. Specifically a bill acceptor and a swipe card reader. Both devices are detected and picked up by the hiddev kernel module, but as far as I can see the hiddev doesn't provide everything I need to get full support for these devices. I am also finding it difficult to find anything documentation on the HIDDEV api. I found the Documentation/usb/hiddev.txt and that provides some info but I was hoping to get a more detailed example of how to use it. I also looked at the hiddev.c source and noticed that the write function just returns -EINVAL. So does this mean that you can't write at all, or is there something else that picks up that functionality?
I've also seen the libhid library but it is a GPL library so it wouldn't work for me. If there isn't a good way to do this using hiddev then my only other option is implementing the whole thing using just libusb.
