Filter Driver

Anshul_Jain · June 5, 2014, 3:55pm

Hi All,

I got a trackpad from a vendor and the vendor has declared that trackpad as HIDclass device in the USB descriptor. I’ve to write a driver to make it work as a mouse. What do you guys suggest I should go about it, do I need to make a lower filter driver or upper filter driver to achieve this? Any pointers will be very helpful.

Thank you!
Anshul

You shouldn’t need to do anything at all. Windows should handle it as
is. What happens when you plug it in?

Thank you Tim for your reply. I did plug it in the device gets recognized as HID Compliant device.

I also ran USBlyzer on it and I see packets coming from the device which is reporting X,Y coordiantes of the trackpad.

And what do you want the filter to change?

Hi Doron,

I would like to implement some filtering of X,Y coordinates and filter the
noise from trackpad events.

Add your filter as a device filter and you can see MOUSE_INPUT_DATA arrays in your ServiceCallback. You can see x,y, button data and modify as you want

Thank you again Doron, How can I force HIDclass device to be recognized as
Mouse? Is it something that I should do in INF files?

The filter driver I used earlier was taken from firefly example of windows
and it expected the mouse device. But recently the vendor has changed the
descriptor to HIDclass and the filter driver doesn’t work anymore.

This is what I used earlier:

its being shown as HID class device.

Yes, the usage page and usage has changed in the firmware of the device.

Usage used to be 0x2 and now its 0x4
Usage page used to be 0x1 and now its 0xFFDE (Vendor specific)

Hi Doron,

Any pointers for this? Is a filter driver possible or will I need a new

Thank you,

If your collection is vendor-defined, then it’s pretty clear that no standard driver can help you. You’ll need to write the whole miniport. That’s not really any more difficult than writing a filter.

Thank you Tim! I’m very new to windows development, please pardon my lack
of knowledge. By miniport driver I understand it as a function driver. Will
the miniport driver be the power policy owner?
