This is the kernelspace part of IPTS (Intel Precise Touch & Stylus) for Linux. With IPTS the Intel Management Engine acts as an interface for a touch controller, returning raw capacitive touch data. This data is processed outside of the ME and then relayed into the HID / input subsystem of the OS. This driver relies on a userspace daemon that can be found here: The driver will establish and manage the connection to the IPTS hardware. It will also set up an API that can be used by userspace to read the touch data from IPTS. The daemon will connect to the IPTS UAPI and start reading data. It will parse the data, and generate input events using uinput devices. The reason for doing this in userspace is that parsing the data requires floating points, which are not allowed in the kernel.
