iio: Support triggered events

2015-08-27T19:47:09+00:00

Support triggered events. This is useful for chips that don't have their own interrupt sources. It allows to use generic/standalone iio triggers for those drivers. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Barinov Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron

iio: Add inverse unit conversion macros

2015-08-08T11:50:40+00:00

Add inverse unit conversion macro to convert from standard IIO units to units that might be used by some devices. Those are useful in combination with scale factors that are specified as IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL. Typically the denominator for those specifications will contain the maximum raw value the sensor will generate and the numerator the value it maps to in a specific unit. Sometimes datasheets specify those in different units than the standard IIO units (e.g. degree/s instead of rad/s) and so we need to do a unit conversion. From a mathematical point of view it does not make a difference whether we apply the unit conversion to the numerator or the inverse unit conversion to the denominator since (x / y) / z = x / (y * z). But as the denominator is typically a larger value and we are rounding both the numerator and denominator to integer values using the later method gives us a better precision (E.g. the relative error is smaller if we round 8000.3 to 8000 rather than rounding 8.3 to 8). This is where in inverse unit conversion macros will be used. Marked for stable as used by some upcoming fixes. Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen Cc: Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron

iio: core: add high pass filter attributes

iio: core: Introduce IIO_CHAN_INFO_OVERSAMPLING_RATIO

2015-05-10T19:31:44+00:00

Some magnetometers can perform a number of repetitions in HW for each measurement to increase accuracy. One example is Bosch BMC150: http://ae-bst.resource.bosch.com/media/products/dokumente/bmc150/BST-BMC150-DS000-04.pdf. Introduce an interface to set the oversampling ratio for these devices.

iio: core: Introduce IIO_CHAN_INFO_CALIBEMISSIVITY

2015-04-09T14:03:05+00:00

Contact-less IR temperature sensors measure the temperature of an object by using its thermal radiation. Surfaces with different emissivity ratios emit different amounts of energy at the same temperature. IIO_CHAN_INFO_CALIBEMISSIVITY allows the user to inform the sensor of the emissivity of the object in front of it, in order to effectively measure its temperature. A device providing such setting is Melexis's MLX90614: http://melexis.com/Assets/IR-sensor-thermometer-MLX90614-Datasheet-5152.aspx.

iio: add support for hardware fifo

2015-03-29T15:17:10+00:00

Some devices have hardware buffers that can store a number of samples for later consumption. Hardware usually provides interrupts to notify the processor when the FIFO is full or when it has reached a certain watermark level. This helps with reducing the number of interrupts to the host processor and thus it helps decreasing the power consumption. This patch enables usage of hardware FIFOs for IIO devices in conjunction with software device buffers. When the hardware FIFO is enabled the samples are stored in the hardware FIFO. The samples are later flushed to the device software buffer when the number of entries in the hardware FIFO reaches the hardware watermark or when a flush operation is triggered by the user when doing a non-blocking read on an empty software device buffer. In order to implement hardware FIFO support the device drivers must implement the following new operations: setting and getting the hardware FIFO watermark level, flushing the hardware FIFO to the software device buffer. The device must also expose information about the hardware FIFO such it's minimum and maximum watermark and if necessary a list of supported watermark values. Finally, the device driver must activate the hardware FIFO when the device buffer is enabled, if the current device settings allows it. The software device buffer watermark is passed by the IIO core to the device driver as a hint for the hardware FIFO watermark. The device driver can adjust this value to allow for hardware limitations (such as capping it to the maximum hardware watermark or adjust it to a value that is supported by the hardware). It can also disable the hardware watermark (and implicitly the hardware FIFO) it this value is below the minimum hardware watermark. Since a driver may support hardware FIFO only when not in triggered buffer mode (due to different semantics of hardware FIFO sampling and triggered sampling) this patch changes the IIO core code to allow falling back to non-triggered buffered mode if no trigger is enabled.

iio: core: Introduce IIO_CHAN_INFO_DEBOUNCE_COUNT and _TIME

2015-01-29T18:49:57+00:00

The pedometer needs to filter out false steps that might be generated by tapping the foot, sitting, etc. To do that it computes the number of steps that occur in a given time and decides the user is moving only if this value is over a threshold. E.g.: the user starts moving only if he takes 4 steps in 3 seconds. This filter is applied only when the user starts moving. A device that has such pedometer functionality is Freescale's MMA9553L: http://www.freescale.com/files/sensors/doc/ref_manual/MMA9553LSWRM.pdf. To export this feature, this patch introduces IIO_CHAN_INFO_DEBOUNCE_COUNT and IIO_CHAN_INFO_DEBOUNCE_TIME. For the pedometer, in_steps_debounce_count will specify the number of steps that need to occur in in_steps_debounce_time seconds so that the pedometer decides the user is moving.

iio: core: Introduce IIO_CHAN_INFO_CALIBWEIGHT

2015-01-27T18:49:54+00:00

Some devices need the weight of the user to compute other parameters. One of this devices is Freescale's MMA9553L (http://www.freescale.com/files/sensors/doc/ref_manual/MMA9553LSWRM.pdf) that needs the weight of the user to compute the number of calories burnt.

iio: Add new operating mode for non triggered sw buffers

2015-01-25T22:53:38+00:00

There was a need for non triggered software buffer type. It can be used when triggered model does not fit and INDIO_BUFFER_HARDWARE causes confusion because the data stream can be obtained not directly form hardware backend.

One of this devices is Freescale's MMA9553L (http://www.freescale.com/files/sensors/doc/ref_manual/MMA9553LSWRM.pdf) that needs the height of the user to compute the stride length which is used further to determine distance, speed and activity type.
