| - | Wham bam thank you, ma'am, my questions are anwseerd! | + | ====== Human Interface Devices ====== |
| + | |||
| + | Through the USB port on the DNS-323, one could, theoretically, attach mice, keyboards, joysticks and gamepads to the device. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Information ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | To use devices with the linux kernel we need two things: a kernel object file for that specific device, and the relevant device node numbers. Kernel modules can be compiled from the GPL files, but if you can't be bothered, a selection of precompiled files can be found here: [[http://dev.skcserver.de/dns323/modules_v1.03/kernel/drivers/]]. The device node numbers can also be found in the GPL files, in linux-2.6.12.6/Documentation/devices.txt or on the internet. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== USB Mice ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | First, download the driver here: [[http://dev.skcserver.de/dns323/modules_v1.03/kernel/drivers/usb/input/usbmouse.ko]] and copy it onto the NAS. Then run this script, or incorporate it into a fun_plug: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code bash>insmod /mnt/HD_a2/usbmouse.ko # Load driver | ||
| + | mkdir /dev/input | ||
| + | mknod /dev/input/mouse0 c 13 32 # Add individual mice | ||
| + | mknod /dev/input/mouse1 c 13 33 | ||
| + | # Add more mice to suit | ||
| + | mknod /dev/input/mice c 13 63 # Unified mice | ||
| + | rm -f /dev/mouse | ||
| + | ln -s /dev/input/mice /dev/mouse</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | By using "cat /dev/mouse" you will be able to check if a mouse is present and working, as some funny characters should appear when you move it. | ||
