None of the IOHidDeviceInterface functions seem to offer a way to just send requests to and from the device. I don't need to monitor queues, or extract x and y values; none of those are applicable. Is the HID driver even going to allow this? If not, how do I prevent the OS from attaching the HID driver?
There's also a USB mailing list where the USB and HID folks hang out < http://lists.apple.com/usb>.
While it's true that other OSes treat HID as a generic USB byte stream, this behavior isn't provided for in the USB specification. Apple tries to stick pretty close to the USB spec.
I'm pretty sure the answer to your question about preventing the HID driver from attaching has been answered in the USB list archives. |
