Request custom-device interface for mediatek-genio

  • name: mediatek-genio
  • description: The gadget snap for MediaTek Genio devices
  • interfaces:
    • mediatek-genio-platform-devices (custom-device):
      • request-type: installation
      • reasoning: There are some hardware accelerators on MediaTek Genio devices. And to get these hardware accelerators works, we need to run a userspace daemon, and it need access /dev/vcu and /dev/vcu[0-9] to communicate with kernel. So we request to have a custom-devices slot in gadget snap, and then we will have another snap to run the userspace daemon.
+slots:
+  mediatek-genio-platform-devices:
+    interface: custom-device
+    custom-device: mediatek-genio-platform-devices
+    devices:
+      - /dev/vcu[0-9]*
+    udev-tagging:
+      - kernel: vcu[0-9]*
+        subsystem: vcu
