Note that it is *not* suitable for other devices based on the +focaltec ft5x06 devices, since they contain vendor-specific firmware. In +particular this driver is not suitable for the Nook tablet. + +It has been tested with the following devices: + * EP0350M06 + * EP0430M06 + * EP0570M06 + * EP0700M06 + +The driver allows configuration of the touch screen via a set of sysfs files: + +/sys/class/input/eventX/device/device/threshold: + allows setting the "click"-threshold in the range from 20 to 80. + +/sys/class/input/eventX/device/device/gain: + allows setting the sensitivity in the range from 0 to 31. Note that + lower values indicate higher sensitivity. + +/sys/class/input/eventX/device/device/offset: + allows setting the edge compensation in the range from 0 to 31. + +/sys/class/input/eventX/device/device/report_rate: + allows setting the report rate in the range from 3 to 14. + + +For debugging purposes the driver provides a few files in the debug +filesystem (if available in the kernel). In /sys/kernel/debug/edt_ft5x06 +you'll find the following files: + +num_x, num_y: + (readonly) contains the number of sensor fields in X- and + Y-direction. + +mode: + allows switching the sensor between "factory mode" and "operation + mode" by writing "1" or "0" to it. In factory mode (1) it is + possible to get the raw data from the sensor. Note that in factory + mode regular events don't get delivered and the options described + above are unavailable. + +raw_data: + contains num_x * num_y big endian 16 bit values describing the raw + values for each sensor field. Note that each read() call on this + files triggers a new readout. It is recommended to provide a buffer + big enough to contain num_x * num_y * 2 bytes. + +Note that reading raw_data gives a I/O error when the device is not in factory +mode. The same happens when reading/writing to the parameter files when the +device is not in regular operation mode. -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
