Hello! I am currently trying to get fwupd [1] working. For updating a Lenovo Unifying Dongle (the USB thingie which connects to wireless mice and keyboards), the kernel has to support hidraw, aka CONFIG_HIDRAW, otherwise fwupd does not find the dongle.
http://www.signal11.us/oss/udev/ is an article that seems to explain the underlying API used by fwupd. Other apps might also need it. The recommendation is to enable it unless there are reasons not to do so: http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/HIDRAW.html So is there a reason why CONFIG_HIDRAW is disabled in linux-intel and (presumably, I haven't checked) linux-yocto for intel-corei7-64? What would be the right way of enabling it? On by default as part of some existing kernel feature perhaps? Or a new feature? -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
