I dont know. Try it with mousetest

If its serial then you dont need a kernel driver, you need to teach
gpm about it. That makes life a lot easier.

Once you find the data rate of the port and start dumping the data it sends
its very unlikely to be complicated, nobody puts smart cpus on tablets to
make life difficult
