NAME

     bthidev -- Bluetooth Human Interface Device support

SYNOPSIS

     bthidev* at bthub?

     btkbd*   at bthidev? reportid ?
     btms*    at bthidev? reportid ?

DESCRIPTION

     The bthidev driver handles all Bluetooth Human Interface Devices.	Each HID device can have several components, e.g., a keyboard and a mouse.
     These components use different report identifiers to distinguish which component data is coming from.  The bthidev driver may have several
     children attached that handle particular components and dispatches data to them based on the report id.

     Normally, Bluetooth HIDs will be attached using the btdevctl(8) program.  The following properties are used by the bthidev driver during
     autoconfiguration:

     local-bdaddr     Local device address.

     remote-bdaddr    Remote device address.

     service-name     The bthidev driver matches the 'HID' service.

     control-psm      This, if set, will indicate the PSM to use for the Control channel.  If not set, L2CAP_PSM_HID_CNTL will be used.

     interrupt-psm    This, if set, will indicate the PSM to use for the Interrupt channel.  If not set, L2CAP_PSM_HID_INTR will be used.

     descriptor       This required binary blob is the HID descriptor containing information about reports the device will produce, and obtained
		      via SDP.

     reconnect	      If this boolean value is set, and is true, then the bthidev driver will initiate reconnections to the remote device when no
		      connection is present.

     link-mode	      This optional string represents the link mode of the baseband link, and may be one of 'auth', 'encrypt', or 'secure'.

     When the bthidev driver has configured its children, it will initiate a connection to the remote device.  If this fails and the reconnect
     flag is not set, it will then wait for the device to initiate the connection.

NAME

       hid - Human interface device (HID) class driver

SYNOPSIS

       keyboard@unit-address
       mouse@unit-address
       input@unit-address:consumer_control

       The hid driver is a USBA (Solaris USB Architecture) compliant client driver that supports the Human Interface Device Class (HID) 1.0 speci-
       fication. The Human Interface Device (HID) class encompasses devices controlled by humans to operate computer systems. Typical examples  of
       HID  devices include keyboards, mice, trackballs, and joysticks. HID also covers front-panel controls such as knobs, switches, and buttons.
       A USB device with multiple interfaces may have one interface for audio and a HID interface to define the buttons that control the audio.

       The hid driver is general and primarily handles the USB functionality of the device and generic HID functionality. For example, HID  inter-
       faces  are  required to have an interrupt pipe for the device to send data packets, and the hid driver opens the pipe to the interrupt end-
       point and starts polling. The hid driver is also responsible for managing the device through the default control pipe. In addition to being
       a USB client driver, the hid driver is also a STREAMS driver so that modules may be pushed on top of it.

       The HID specification is flexible, and HID devices dynamically describe their packets and other parameters through a HID report descriptor.
       The HID parser is a misc module that parses the HID report descriptor and creates a database of  information  about  the  device.  The  hid
       driver  queries  the HID parser to find out the type and characteristics of the HID device. The HID specification predefines packet formats
       for the boot protocol keyboard and mouse.
