1. Introduction
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Currently the Linux Elantech touchpad driver is aware of four different
hardware versions unimaginatively called version 1,version 2, version 3
and version 4. Version 1 is found in "older" laptops and uses 4 bytes per
packet. Version 2 seems to be introduced with the EeePC and uses 6 bytes
per packet, and provides additional features such as position of two fingers,
and width of the touch.  Hardware version 3 uses 6 bytes per packet (and
for 2 fingers the concatenation of two 6 bytes packets) and allows tracking
of up to 3 fingers. Hardware version 4 uses 6 bytes per packet, and can
combine a status packet with multiple head or motion packets. Hardware version
4 allows tracking up to 5 fingers.

Some Hardware version 3 and version 4 also have a trackpoint which uses a
separate packet format. It is also 6 bytes per packet.

The driver tries to support both hardware versions and should be compatible
with the Xorg Synaptics touchpad driver and its graphical configuration
utilities.

Note that a mouse button is also associated with either the touchpad or the
trackpoint when a trackpoint is available.  Disabling the Touchpad in xorg
(TouchPadOff=0) will also disable the buttons associated with the touchpad.

Additionally the operation of the touchpad can be altered by adjusting the
contents of some of its internal registers. These registers are represented
by the driver as sysfs entries under /sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio?
that can be read from and written to.

Currently only the registers for hardware version 1 are somewhat understood.
Hardware version 2 seems to use some of the same registers but it is not
known whether the bits in the registers represent the same thing or might
have changed their meaning.

On top of that, some register settings have effect only when the touchpad is
in relative mode and not in absolute mode. As the Linux Elantech touchpad
driver always puts the hardware into absolute mode not all information
mentioned below can be used immediately. But because there is no freely
available Elantech documentation the information is provided here anyway for
completeness sake.


/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


2. Extra knobs
   ~~~~~~~~~~~

Currently the Linux Elantech touchpad driver provides three extra knobs under
/sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio? for the user.

* debug

   Turn different levels of debugging ON or OFF.

   By echoing "0" to this file all debugging will be turned OFF.

   Currently a value of "1" will turn on some basic debugging and a value of
   "2" will turn on packet debugging. For hardware version 1 the default is
   OFF. For version 2 the default is "1".

   Turning packet debugging on will make the driver dump every packet
   received to the syslog before processing it. Be warned that this can
   generate quite a lot of data!

* paritycheck

   Turns parity checking ON or OFF.

   By echoing "0" to this file parity checking will be turned OFF. Any
   non-zero value will turn it ON. For hardware version 1 the default is ON.
   For version 2 the default it is OFF.

   Hardware version 1 provides basic data integrity verification by
   calculating a parity bit for the last 3 bytes of each packet. The driver
   can check these bits and reject any packet that appears corrupted. Using
   this knob you can bypass that check.

   Hardware version 2 does not provide the same parity bits. Only some basic
   data consistency checking can be done. For now checking is disabled by
   default. Currently even turning it on will do nothing.

* crc_enabled

   Sets crc_enabled to 0/1. The name "crc_enabled" is the official name of
   this integrity check, even though it is not an actual cyclic redundancy
   check.

   Depending on the state of crc_enabled, certain basic data integrity
   verification is done by the driver on hardware version 3 and 4. The
   driver will reject any packet that appears corrupted. Using this knob,
   The state of crc_enabled can be altered with this knob.

   Reading the crc_enabled value will show the active value. Echoing
   "0" or "1" to this file will set the state to "0" or "1".

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

3. Differentiating hardware versions
   =================================

To detect the hardware version, read the version number as param[0].param[1].param[2]

 4 bytes version: (after the arrow is the name given in the Dell-provided driver)
 02.00.22 => EF013
 02.06.00 => EF019
In the wild, there appear to be more versions, such as 00.01.64, 01.00.21,
02.00.00, 02.00.04, 02.00.06.

 6 bytes:
 02.00.30 => EF113
 02.08.00 => EF023
 02.08.XX => EF123
 02.0B.00 => EF215
 04.01.XX => Scroll_EF051
 04.02.XX => EF051
In the wild, there appear to be more versions, such as 04.03.01, 04.04.11. There
appears to be almost no difference, except for EF113, which does not report
pressure/width and has different data consistency checks.

Probably all the versions with param[0] <= 01 can be considered as
4 bytes/firmware 1. The versions < 02.08.00, with the exception of 02.00.30, as
4 bytes/firmware 2. Everything >= 02.08.00 can be considered as 6 bytes.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

4. Hardware version 1
   ==================

4.1 Registers
    ~~~~~~~~~

By echoing a hexadecimal value to a register it contents can be altered.

For example:

   echo -n 0x16 > reg_10

* reg_10

   bit   7   6   5   4   3   2   1   0
         B   C   T   D   L   A   S   E

         E: 1 = enable smart edges unconditionally
         S: 1 = enable smart edges only when dragging
         A: 1 = absolute mode (needs 4 byte packets, see reg_11)
         L: 1 = enable drag lock (see reg_22)
         D: 1 = disable dynamic resolution
         T: 1 = disable tapping
         C: 1 = enable corner tap
         B: 1 = swap left and right button

* reg_11

   bit   7   6   5   4   3   2   1   0
         1   0   0   H   V   1   F   P

         P: 1 = enable parity checking for relative mode
         F: 1 = enable native 4 byte packet mode
         V: 1 = enable vertical scroll area
         H: 1 = enable horizontal scroll area

* reg_20

         single finger width?

* reg_21

         scroll area width (small: 0x40 ... wide: 0xff)

* reg_22

         drag lock time out (short: 0x14 ... long: 0xfe;
                             0xff = tap again to release)

* reg_23

         tap make timeout?

* reg_24

         tap release timeout?

* reg_25

         smart edge cursor speed (0x02 = slow, 0x03 = medium, 0x04 = fast)

* reg_26

         smart edge activation area width?


4.2 Native relative mode 4 byte packet format
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

byte 0:
   bit   7   6   5   4   3   2   1   0
         c   c  p2  p1   1   M   R   L

         L, R, M = 1 when Left, Right, Middle mouse button pressed
            some models have M as byte 3 odd parity bit
         when parity checking is enabled (reg_11, P = 1):
            p1..p2 = byte 1 and 2 odd parity bit
         c = 1 when corner tap detected

byte 1:
   bit   7   6   5   4   3   2   1   0
        dx7 dx6 dx5 dx4 dx3 dx2 dx1 dx0

         dx7..dx0 = x movement;   positive = right, negative = left
         byte 1 = 0xf0 when corner tap detected

byte 2:
   bit   7   6   5   4   3   2   1   0
        dy7 dy6 dy5 dy4 dy3 dy2 dy1 dy0

         dy7..dy0 = y movement;   positive = up,    negative = down

byte 3:
   parity checking enabled (reg_11, P = 1):

      bit   7   6   5   4   3   2   1   0
            w   h  n1  n0  ds3 ds2 ds1 ds0

4.3 Native absolute mode 4 byte packet format
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EF013 and EF019 have a special behaviour (due to a bug in the firmware?), and
when 1 finger is touching, the first 2 position reports must be discarded.
This counting is reset whenever a different number of fingers is reported.

   ==================


5.1 Registers
    ~~~~~~~~~

By echoing a hexadecimal value to a register it contents can be altered.

For example:

   echo -n 0x56 > reg_10

* reg_10

   bit   7   6   5   4   3   2   1   0
         0   1   0   1   0   1   D   0

         D: 1 = enable drag and drop

* reg_11

   bit   7   6   5   4   3   2   1   0
         1   0   0   0   S   0   1   0

         S: 1 = enable vertical scroll

* reg_21

         unknown (0x00)

* reg_22

         drag and drop release time out (short: 0x70 ... long 0x7e;
                                   0x7f = never i.e. tap again to release)


5.2 Native absolute mode 6 byte packet format
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5.2.1 Parity checking and packet re-synchronization
There is no parity checking, however some consistency checks can be performed.

For instance for EF113:
        SA1= packet[0];
        A1 = packet[1];
        B1 = packet[2];
        SB1= packet[3];
        C1 = packet[4];
        D1 = packet[5];
        if( (((SA1 & 0x3C) != 0x3C) && ((SA1 & 0xC0) != 0x80)) || // check Byte 1
            (((SA1 & 0x0C) != 0x0C) && ((SA1 & 0xC0) == 0x80)) || // check Byte 1 (one finger pressed)
            (((SA1 & 0xC0) != 0x80) && (( A1 & 0xF0) != 0x00)) || // check Byte 2
            (((SB1 & 0x3E) != 0x38) && ((SA1 & 0xC0) != 0x80)) || // check Byte 4
            (((SB1 & 0x0E) != 0x08) && ((SA1 & 0xC0) == 0x80)) || // check Byte 4 (one finger pressed)
            (((SA1 & 0xC0) != 0x80) && (( C1 & 0xF0) != 0x00))  ) // check Byte 5
		// error detected

For all the other ones, there are just a few constant bits:
        if( ((packet[0] & 0x0C) != 0x04) ||
            ((packet[3] & 0x0f) != 0x02) )
		// error detected


In case an error is detected, all the packets are shifted by one (and packet[0] is discarded).

	      of the buttons, 1 otherwise)

5.2.3 Two finger touch
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note that the two pairs of coordinates are not exactly the coordinates of the
two fingers, but only the pair of the lower-left and upper-right coordinates.
So the actual fingers might be situated on the other diagonal of the square
defined by these two points.

         R: 1 = enable real hardware resolution

6.2 Native absolute mode 6 byte packet format
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 and 3 finger touch shares the same 6-byte packet format, except that
3 finger touch only reports the position of the center of all three fingers.

Firmware would send 12 bytes of data for 2 finger touch.

Note on debounce:
In case the box has unstable power supply or other electricity issues, or
when number of finger changes, F/W would send "debounce packet" to inform
driver that the hardware is in debounce status.
The debouce packet has the following signature:
    byte 0: 0xc4
    byte 1: 0xff
    byte 2: 0xff
    byte 3: 0x02
    byte 4: 0xff
    byte 5: 0xff
When we encounter this kind of packet, we just ignore it.

6.2.2 Two finger touch
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The packet format is exactly the same for two finger touch, except the hardware
sends two 6 byte packets. The first packet contains data for the first finger,
the second packet has data for the second finger. So for two finger touch a
total of 12 bytes are sent.

7.2 Native absolute mode 6 byte packet format
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
v4 hardware is a true multitouch touchpad, capable of tracking up to 5 fingers.
Unfortunately, due to PS/2's limited bandwidth, its packet format is rather
complex.

Whenever the numbers or identities of the fingers changes, the hardware sends a
status packet to indicate how many and which fingers is on touchpad, followed by
head packets or motion packets. A head packet contains data of finger id, finger
position (absolute x, y values), width, and pressure. A motion packet contains
two fingers' position delta.

For example, when status packet tells there are 2 fingers on touchpad, then we
can expect two following head packets. If the finger status doesn't change,
the following packets would be motion packets, only sending delta of finger
position, until we receive a status packet.

One exception is one finger touch. when a status packet tells us there is only
one finger, the hardware would just send head packets afterwards.
