Subject: Re: [PATCH 06/20] Input: atmel_mxt_ts - allow writing to object sysfs entry
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2012 09:04:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120319080402.GA15965@polaris.bitmath.org> (raw)

Hi Daniel,
> Userspace can write a 24-bit value (encoded as a 6 character hex string)
> to the 'object' sysfs entry to modify a single byte of the object table.
> The hex string encodes a 3 bytes, in the following format:
> TTFFVV
>
> Where:
> TT = object type
> FF = object offset
> VV = byte value
>
> The object table is modified in device ram, which means the change is

> changes permanent, the new settings should be persisted in the device's

Perhaps you could give an example of why this is needed?
Thanks,
Henrik
