<body>
<p><tt>evdev</tt> is a portable, API-compatible implementation of
the Linux <tt>/dev/input/eventX</tt> interface. It covers a wide
variaty of input devices like keyboards, mice, and touchscreens
(with multitouch support), and support for it is implemented in a
lot of existing userland components like Qt, <tt>libinput</tt>, and
<tt>tslib</tt>.</p>
<p><tt>evdev</tt> support was started by Jakub Klama as a Google SoC
2014 project, and later picked up and finished by Vladimir
Kondratiev. General API and <tt>evdev</tt> support bits for
<tt>ukbd</tt> and <tt>ums</tt> were committed to HEAD. Support was
also added for TI's AM33xx touchstreen controller (the popular
BeagleBone is based on the AM33xx) and the official touschreen for
the Raspberry Pi. Multitouch support for the Raspberry Pi was
successfully demoed using the lastest Qt development branch.</p>
