早前曾研究了一下输入子系统的原理,给人的感觉是输入子系统很复杂.但其实内核开发者在这方面已经做得很完善了,
输入子系统虽然错综复杂,但是只要我们领会了输入子系统的一些设计思想后,我们要使用它并非难事.
以下以内核自带的gpio_keys驱动为例,介绍输入子系统的使用.
主要的原因是gpio_keys驱动比较简单易懂,另外不是没个人都有触摸屏,但键盘的话相信每一块开发板上都配有吧^_^
按照以前的习惯,先从下到上的研究底层驱动是如何提交输入事件的:
#####################################################################################################
drivers/input/keyboard/gpio_keys.c:
static int __devinit gpio_keys_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
struct gpio_keys_platform_data *pdata = pdev->dev.platform_data;
struct input_dev *input;
int i, error;
input = input_allocate_device();//申请input_dev结构
if (!input)
return -ENOMEM;
platform_set_drvdata(pdev, input);//把input_dev结构放好(以后方便调用)
input->evbit[0] = BIT(EV_KEY);//目前event的类型不操作32,所以你会看到对于evbit数组的操作都是对evbit[0]中的位来进行操作.
input->name = pdev->name;
input->phys = "gpio-keys/input0";
input->dev.parent = &pdev->dev;
input->id.bustype = BUS_HOST;
input->id.vendor = 0x0001;
input->id.product = 0x0001;
input->id.version = 0x0100;
for (i = 0; i < pdata->nbuttons; i++) {
struct gpio_keys_button *button = &pdata->buttons[i];
int irq = gpio_to_irq(button->gpio);
unsigned int type = button->type ?: EV_KEY;
set_irq_type(irq, IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_BOTH);
/* 根据用户所指定的gpio_keys来申请中断和注册中断处理函数*/
error = request_irq(irq, gpio_keys_isr, IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM,
button->desc ? button->desc : "gpio_keys",
pdev);
if (error) {
printk(KERN_ERR "gpio-keys: unable to claim irq %d; error %d/n",
irq, error);
goto fail;
}
input_set_capability(input, type, button->code);
}
error = input_register_device(input);//注册输入设备,并和对应的handler处理函数挂钩
if (error) {
printk(KERN_ERR "Unable to register gpio-keys input device/n");
goto fail;
}
return 0;
fail:
for (i = i - 1; i >= 0; i--)
free_irq(gpio_to_irq(pdata->buttons[i].gpio), pdev);
input_free_device(input);
return error;
}
提到input_dev结构,以下谈一下我对于它的理解:
struct input_dev {
void *private;
const char *name;
const char *phys;
const char *uniq;
struct input_id id;
/*
* 根据各种输入信号的类型来建立类型为unsigned long 的数组,
* 数组的每1bit代表一种信号类型,
* 内核中会对其进行置位或清位操作来表示时间的发生和被处理.
*/
unsigned long evbit[NBITS(EV_MAX)];
unsigned long keybit[NBITS(KEY_MAX)];
unsigned long relbit[NBITS(REL_MAX)];
unsigned long absbit[NBITS(ABS_MAX)];
unsigned long mscbit[NBITS(MSC_MAX)];
unsigned long ledbit[NBITS(LED_MAX)];
unsigned long sndbit[NBITS(SND_MAX)];
unsigned long ffbit[NBITS(FF_MAX)];
unsigned long swbit[NBITS(SW_MAX)];

好了,至此一个按键的输入事件处理完毕,现在再来从上到上的来看看用户是如何获取这个输入事件的.

呵呵,看到了吧,应用程序就是这样获取输入事件的^_^
######################################################################################################################################
本来对于gpio_keys这样的驱动程序,只要当发生按键事件的时候向上层应用程序汇报键值即可.
不过,对于一些带输出设备(例如led灯)的输入设备来说(例如键盘),上层应用程序同样可以利用event层来读取或改变其状态.
请看以下代码:

注:
鉴于简单的gpio_keys驱动中没有注册自己的event接口,当然也没有对于LED灯的处理,而event层只是简单的向上层汇报输入事件(event层也不可能帮你处理你的led设备,对吧),所以这个通过输入子系统控制LED的部分暂时不去研究.
(输出设备LED灯不属于这个输入设备gpio_key的一部分.当然,如果你想通过这个gpio_keys设备来控制led灯的话,可以修改这个gpio_keys驱动,详细可参考driver/input/keyboard目录下的驱动)
