# Normally, all of /dev/hidraw* are accessible only by root.
#
# $ ls -l /dev/hidraw*
# crw------- 1 root root 247, 0 Sep 24 09:40 /dev/hidraw0
#
# An ordinary user, trying to acccess it will be denied.
#
# Unnecessarily running applications as root is generally a bad idea because it makes it too easy
# to accidentally trash your system. We need to relax the restrictions so ordinary users can use these devices.
#
# If all went well with installation, the /etc/udev/rules.d directory should contain a file called
# 99-direwolf-cmedia.rules containing:
#
SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0d8c", GROUP="audio", MODE="0660"
#
# I used the "audio" group, mimicking the permissions on the sound side of the device.
#
# $ ls -l /dev/snd/pcm*
# crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 16 Sep 24 09:40 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
# crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 17 Sep 24 09:40 /dev/snd/pcmC0D1p
#
# You should see something similar to this where someone in the "audio" group has read-write access.
#
# $ ls -l /dev/hidraw*
# crw-rw---- 1 root audio 247, 0 Oct 6 19:24 /dev/hidraw0

# Read the User Guide and run the "cm108" application for more information.
