If it supports linux's USB gadget interface then you should be in luck: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.txt Raspberry pie can NOT do it, since it has a permanent USB hub connected, and you can't have a hub connected to the port to use it in gadget mode (since gadget mode means being a USB client, not a host). The BBB on the hand can do it. I didn't check the others. -- Len Sorensen --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] http://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
