CYAPA(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual CYAPA(4)
NAME
cyapa - Cypress APA trackpad with I2C interface driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines into
the kernel configuration file:
device cyapa
device ig4
device iicbus
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
following line in loader.conf(5):
cyapa_load="YES"
ig4_load="YES"
On many Chromebook models this driver can be automatically configured
with the help of the chromebook_platform(4) driver. Alternatively, the
cyapa driver can be manually configured in /boot/device.hints:
hint.cyapa.0.at="iicbus0"
hint.cyapa.0.addr="0xCE"
hint.cyapa.1.at="iicbus1"
hint.cyapa.1.addr="0xCE"
DESCRIPTION
The cyapa driver provides support for the Cypress APA trackpad. It
emulates the IntelliMouse PS/2 protocol. It supports basic mouse ioctls,
so that moused(8) is supported properly.

Trackpad features
Two finger scrolling
Use two fingers for Z axis scrolling.
Button down/second finger
While one finger clicks and holds down the touchpad, the second
finger can be used to move the mouse cursor. This can be
useful for drawing or selecting text.
Thumb/Button area
The lower 15% of the trackpad will not affect the mouse cursor
position. This allows for high precision clicking, by
controlling the cursor with the index finger and
pushing/holding the pad down with the thumb.
Trackpad button
Push physical button. The left two thirds of the pad issues a
LEFT button event. The upper right corner issues a MIDDLE
button event. The lower right corner issues a RIGHT button.
Optionally, tap to click can be enabled (see below).
On a system using device.hints(5), these values are configurable for
cyapa:
hint.cyapa.%d.at target iicbus(4).
hint.cyapa.%d.addr cyapa i2c address on the iicbus(4).
SYSCTL VARIABLES
These sysctl(8) variables are available:
debug.cyapa_idle_freq
Scan frequency in idle mode, the default is 1.
debug.cyapa_slow_freq
Scan frequency in slow mode, the default is 20.
debug.cyapa_norm_freq
Scan frequency in normal mode, the default is 100.
debug.cyapa_minpressure
Minimum pressure to detect a finger, the default is 12.
debug.cyapa_enable_tapclick
Controls tap to click. Possible values:
0 Tap to click is disabled. This is the default value.
1 Tap to click always generates a left mouse button
event.
2 Tap to click generates left mouse button event if the
left 2/3rds of the pad are tapped and a right mouse
button event otherwise.
3 Tap to click generates mouse button events as if the
physical button was pressed (see DESCRIPTION above).
debug.cyapa_tapclick_min_ticks
Minimum tap duration in ticks to create a click, the default is
1.
debug.cyapa_tapclick_max_ticks
Maximum tap duration in ticks to create a click, the default is
8.
debug.cyapa_move_min_ticks
Minimum ticks before cursor movement occurs, the default is 4.
debug.cyapa_scroll_wait_ticks
Ticks to wait before starting to scroll, the default is 0.
debug.cyapa_scroll_stick_ticks
Ticks while preventing cursor movement on single finger after
scroll, the default is 15.
debug.cyapa_thumbarea_percent
Size of bottom thumb area in percent, the default is 15.
debug.cyapa_debug
Setting this to a non-zero value enables debug output to
console and syslog, the default is 0.
debug.cyapa_reset
Setting this to a non-zero value reinitializes the device. The
sysctl resets to zero immediately.
FILES
cyapa creates /dev/cyapa0, which presents the mouse as an IntelliMouse
PS/2 device. It supports moused(8) levels 0 through 2, level 1 is used
by default.
EXAMPLES
To use cyapa with moused(8), add the following lines to the rc.conf(5)
file:
moused_enable="YES"
moused_port="/dev/cyapa0"
If vertical scrolling is not desired, add
moused_flags="-l0"
to rc.conf(5).
Enable tap to click for the left and the right mouse button and disable
the thumb area by adding these lines to the sysctl.conf(5) file:
debug.cyapa_thumbarea_percent=0
debug.cyapa_enable_tapclick=2

AUTHORS
The original cyapa driver was written for DragonFly by Matthew Dillon.
It has been ported, modified, and enhanced for FreeBSD by Michael Gmelin

BUGS
The cyapa driver detects the device from the I2C address. This might
have unforeseen consequences if the initialization sequence is sent to an
unknown device at that address.
