To create a driver that supports calibration, the developer must implement EvtIoDeviceControl handlers within the KMDF HID minidriver.
Hardcoding calibration values limits hardware flexibility. The best practice is to store calibration matrices, offsets, and orientation flags in the ACPI table or the Windows Registry. Your driver reads these values during the device initialization phase ( EvtDevicePrepareHardware ). Example Registry Schema
) and presents the data to the HID Class Driver in a standardized format. It receives raw data packets (reports) from the I2Ccap I squared cap C touch controller, parses them, and sends them up the stack.

The handler validates input, updates driver’s calibration structure, saves to registry, and optionally applies it to the hardware.

Touch I2C devices, such as touchscreens, require calibration to ensure accurate touch data. Calibration involves adjusting the device's settings to compensate for variations in the device's electrical and mechanical characteristics. The KMDF HID minidriver plays a crucial role in facilitating calibration by providing a communication channel between the device and the operating system. To create a driver that supports calibration, the
Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to use the KMDF HID minidriver to calibrate a touch I2C device:
// Set HID minidriver flag WdfDeviceInitSetDeviceType(DeviceInit, FILE_DEVICE_KEYBOARD); // or MOUSE WDF_HID_DEVICE_CONFIG hidConfig; WDF_HID_DEVICE_CONFIG_INIT(&hidConfig); hidConfig.EvtHidDeviceGetDescriptor = GetHidDescriptor; hidConfig.EvtHidDeviceGetFeatureReport = GetFeatureReport; hidConfig.EvtHidDeviceSetFeatureReport = SetFeatureReport; hidConfig.EvtHidDeviceGetInputReport = GetInputReport; return WdfHidDeviceCreate(Device, &hidConfig, WDF_NO_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES, &hHidDevice);
The following example code demonstrates how to initialize the I2C bus and parse the HID report descriptor:
[MyTouchCalib.AddReg] HKR,,"LowerFilters",0x00010000,"MyTouchCalib" Your driver reads these values during the device
Windows handles touch input through a layered driver architecture designed to minimize development overhead. Understanding these layers is critical before attempting calibration implementation.

Store parameters within the driver’s unique hardware instance key ( Device Parameters ) using the KMDF registry API.
When an internal device control request arrives with the control code IOCTL_HID_READ_REPORT , the driver reads the coordinate coordinates from the hardware line, calculates the calibration parameters, and alters the output buffer.
Verify ACPI tables contain proper I2cSerialBusV2 and GpioInt maps.
