Feature Report vs. Input and Output in Vendor Defined Report
« on: February 16, 2012, 03:25:44 pm »
Hello All:

If the Report Descriptor is Vendor defined (0x06, 0x00, 0xFF).  Can one skip the Feature Report portion, by not making it part of the Report descriptor,  and just declaring Input and output in the report descriptor and using the input and output report to set any of the device properties. 

Since the Vendor writes the Host software/driver to talk to the device (and the device is also the Vendor's), I believe it should be fine.  Any comments?

Thanks

Generic (vendor-defined) HIDs can exchange any kind of information using Input and Output reports.
