Introduction + ~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Currently the Linux Elantech touchpad driver is aware of four different +hardware versions unimaginatively called version 1,version 2, version 3 +and version 4. Version 1 is found in "older" laptops and uses 4 bytes per +packet. Version 2 seems to be introduced with the EeePC and uses 6 bytes +per packet, and provides additional features such as position of two fingers, +and width of the touch. Hardware version 3 uses 6 bytes per packet (and +for 2 fingers the concatenation of two 6 bytes packets) and allows tracking +of up to 3 fingers. Hardware version 4 uses 6 bytes per packet, and can +combine a status packet with multiple head or motion packets. Hardware version +4 allows tracking up to 5 fingers. + +Some Hardware version 3 and version 4 also have a trackpoint which uses a +separate packet format. It is also 6 bytes per packet. + +The driver tries to support both hardware versions and should be compatible +with the Xorg Synaptics touchpad driver and its graphical configuration +utilities. + +Note that a mouse button is also associated with either the touchpad or the +trackpoint when a trackpoint is available. Disabling the Touchpad in xorg +(TouchPadOff=0) will also disable the buttons associated with the touchpad. + +Additionally the operation of the touchpad can be altered by adjusting the +contents of some of its internal registers. These registers are represented +by the driver as sysfs entries under /sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio? +that can be read from and written to. + +Currently only the registers for hardware version 1 are somewhat understood. +Hardware version 2 seems to use some of the same registers but it is not +known whether the bits in the registers represent the same thing or might +have changed their meaning. + +On top of that, some register settings have effect only when the touchpad is +in relative mode and not in absolute mode. As the Linux Elantech touchpad +driver always puts the hardware into absolute mode not all information +mentioned below can be used immediately. But because there is no freely +available Elantech documentation the information is provided here anyway for +completeness sake. + + +///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// + + +2. Extra knobs + ~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Currently the Linux Elantech touchpad driver provides three extra knobs under +/sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio? for the user. + +* debug + + Turn different levels of debugging ON or OFF. + + By echoing "0" to this file all debugging will be turned OFF. + + Currently a value of "1" will turn on some basic debugging and a value of + "2" will turn on packet debugging. For hardware version 1 the default is + OFF. For version 2 the default is "1". + + Turning packet debugging on will make the driver dump every packet + received to the syslog before processing it. Be warned that this can + generate quite a lot of data! + +* paritycheck + + Turns parity checking ON or OFF. + + By echoing "0" to this file parity checking will be turned OFF. Any + non-zero value will turn it ON. For hardware version 1 the default is ON. + For version 2 the default it is OFF. + + Hardware version 1 provides basic data integrity verification by + calculating a parity bit for the last 3 bytes of each packet. The driver + can check these bits and reject any packet that appears corrupted. Using + this knob you can bypass that check. + + Hardware version 2 does not provide the same parity bits. Only some basic + data consistency checking can be done. For now checking is disabled by + default. Currently even turning it on will do nothing. + +* crc_enabled + + Sets crc_enabled to 0/1. The name "crc_enabled" is the official name of + this integrity check, even though it is not an actual cyclic redundancy + check. + + Depending on the state of crc_enabled, certain basic data integrity + verification is done by the driver on hardware version 3 and 4. The + driver will reject any packet that appears corrupted. Using this knob, + The state of crc_enabled can be altered with this knob. + + Reading the crc_enabled value will show the active value. Echoing + "0" or "1" to this file will set the state to "0" or "1". + +///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// + +3. Differentiating hardware versions + ================================= + +To detect the hardware version, read the version number as param[0].param[1].param[2] + + 4 bytes version: (after the arrow is the name given in the Dell-provided driver) + 02.00.22 => EF013 + 02.06.00 => EF019 +In the wild, there appear to be more versions, such as 00.01.64, 01.00.21, +02.00.00, 02.00.04, 02.00.06. + + 6 bytes: + 02.00.30 => EF113 + 02.08.00 => EF023 + 02.08.XX => EF123 + 02.0B.00 => EF215 + 04.01.XX => Scroll_EF051 + 04.02.XX => EF051 +In the wild, there appear to be more versions, such as 04.03.01, 04.04.11. There +appears to be almost no difference, except for EF113, which does not report +pressure/width and has different data consistency checks. + +Probably all the versions with param[0] <= 01 can be considered as +4 bytes/firmware 1. The versions < 02.08.00, with the exception of 02.00.30, as +4 bytes/firmware 2. Everything >= 02.08.00 can be considered as 6 bytes. + +///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// + +4.

A head packet contains data of finger id, finger +position (absolute x, y values), width, and pressure. A motion packet contains +two fingers' position delta. + +For example, when status packet tells there are 2 fingers on touchpad, then we +can expect two following head packets. If the finger status doesn't change, +the following packets would be motion packets, only sending delta of finger +position, until we receive a status packet. + +One exception is one finger touch. when a status packet tells us there is only +one finger, the hardware would just send head packets afterwards. + +7.2.1 Status packet + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +byte 0: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + . . . . 0 1 R L + + L, R = 1 when Left, Right mouse button pressed + +byte 1: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + . . . ft4 ft3 ft2 ft1 ft0 + + ft4 ft3 ft2 ft1 ft0 ftn = 1 when finger n is on touchpad + +byte 2: not used + +byte 3: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + . . . 1 0 0 0 0 + + constant bits + +byte 4: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + p . . . . . . . + + p = 1 for palm + +byte 5: not used + +7.2.2 Head packet + ~~~~~~~~~~~ + +byte 0: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + w3 w2 w1 w0 0 1 R L + + L, R = 1 when Left, Right mouse button pressed + w3..w0 = finger width (spans how many trace lines) + +byte 1: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + p7 p6 p5 p4 x11 x10 x9 x8 + +byte 2: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + x7 x6 x5 x4 x3 x2 x1 x0 + + x11..x0 = absolute x value (horizontal) + +byte 3: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + id2 id1 id0 1 0 0 0 1 + + id2..id0 = finger id + +byte 4: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + p3 p1 p2 p0 y11 y10 y9 y8 + + p7..p0 = pressure + +byte 5: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + y7 y6 y5 y4 y3 y2 y1 y0 + + y11..y0 = absolute y value (vertical) + +7.2.3 Motion packet + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +byte 0: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + id2 id1 id0 w 0 1 R L + + L, R = 1 when Left, Right mouse button pressed + id2..id0 = finger id + w = 1 when delta overflows (> 127 or < -128), in this case + firmware sends us (delta x / 5) and (delta y / 5) + +byte 1: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + x7 x6 x5 x4 x3 x2 x1 x0 + + x7..x0 = delta x (two's complement) + +byte 2: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + y7 y6 y5 y4 y3 y2 y1 y0 + + y7..y0 = delta y (two's complement) + +byte 3: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + id2 id1 id0 1 0 0 1 0 + + id2..id0 = finger id + +byte 4: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + x7 x6 x5 x4 x3 x2 x1 x0 + + x7..x0 = delta x (two's complement) + +byte 5: + + bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 + y7 y6 y5 y4 y3 y2 y1 y0 + + y7..y0 = delta y (two's complement) + + byte 0 ~ 2 for one finger + byte 3 ~ 5 for another + + +8.
