This callback function is not yet implemented by the Input Events library. For the time being, simply set this callback function to NULL in your mtouch_driver_funcs_t assignment when attaching your driver.

Arguments
  • packet
  • digit_idx
  • select
  • arg
Returns
  • 0 if successful; otherwise non-zero if an error occurred.
int (*set_event_rate)(void *dev, uint32_t min_event_interval)
Set the event rate on your multitouch device.

This function is called with the device mutex held.

Arguments
  • dev Handle to the device driver.
  • min_event_interval Minimum sampling period, in microseconds, of the touch controller. Two touch-related events will not be received in a time less than this interval.
Returns
  • 0 if successful; otherwise non-zero if an error occurred.

Library:

libinputevents

Description:

These callback functions are called into by libinputevents to fetch the data required to transform the device (touch controller) data into mtouch events.

These functions must be implemented. Otherwise, the driver will not be able to connect to the Input Events framework.
