Hi everyone,
I have got to communicate between a linux system and a battery charger which can receive uart commands over usb to e. g. read or adjust battery charging voltage, read battery temperature, capacity etc.. The thing is that the charger device (icharger X6) is recognized as a HID device, not as Serial port. Luckily, there is a c++ GUI application which can communicate with the device as HID with the Modbus protocol. There is a .cpp source file in this GUI project which contains the necessary connect(), disconnect(), writeRegister(), readRegister() functions. HURREY. It also includes a cpp standard library and two other #pragma libs. Now, as i mentioned, i need this driver to work for linux system. I had the idea to write a Kernel Module. I have seen an example where someone wrote a C based kernel module which could receive parameters from the command line and print them out. Do you think my .cpp hid driver kernel modul would work that way as well? Or do you have any other ideas how i can communicate between the linux system (command line) and the cpp application?
I am asking so stupidly because I don't want to waste time working on something which will definitely not work.
Thank you a lot for your support!
Best Regards, Martin
