Description
This is a Linux industrial I/O (IIO) subsystem driver, targeting single channel serial interface ADCs. The industrial I/O subsystem provides a unified framework for drivers for many different types of converters and sensors using a number of different physical interfaces (i2c, spi, etc). See IIO for more information.

Show device name
This specifies any shell prompt running on the target
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat name ad7768-1
Show scale
Description:
scale to be applied to in_voltage0_raw in order to obtain the measured voltage in millivolts.
This specifies any shell prompt running on the target
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat in_voltage_scale 0.000488281
Show channel 0 measurement
Description:
Raw unscaled voltage measurement on channel 0
This specifies any shell prompt running on the target
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat in_voltage0_raw 2040915
U = in_voltage0_raw * in_voltage_scale = 2040915 * 0.000488281= 996.54 mV
Set sampling frequency / update rate
This specifies any shell prompt running on the target
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat sampling_frequency 32000 root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> echo 256000 > sampling_frequency root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat sampling_frequency 256000 root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0>

Trigger management
This driver only supports it's own default trigger source ad7768-1-dev0
This specifies any shell prompt running on the target
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat trigger/current_trigger ad7768-1-dev0
Buffer management
This specifies any shell prompt running on the target
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/buffer> ls enable length watermark root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/buffer>
Every buffer implementation features a set of files:
length
Get/set the number of sample sets that may be held by the buffer.
enable
Enables/disables the buffer. This file should be written last, after length and selection of scan elements
scan_elements
The scan_elements directory contains interfaces for elements that will be captured for a single triggered sample set in the buffer.
This specifies any shell prompt running on the target
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/scan_elements> ls in_voltage0_en in_voltage0_index in_voltage0_type root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/scan_elements>
in_voltageX_en / in_voltageX-voltageY_en / timestamp_en:
Scan element control for triggered data capture. Writing 1 will enable the scan element, writing 0 will disable it
in_voltageX_type / in_voltageX-voltageY_type / timestamp_type:
Description of the scan element data storage within the buffer and therefore in the form in which it is read from user-space. Form is [s|u]bits/storage-bits. s or u specifies if signed (2's complement) or unsigned. bits is the number of bits of data and storage-bits is the space (after padding) that it occupies in the buffer. Note that some devices will have additional information in the unused bits so to get a clean value, the bits value must be used to mask the buffer output value appropriately. The storage-bits value also specifies the data alignment. So u12/16 will be a unsigned 12 bit integer stored in a 16 bit location aligned to a 16 bit boundary. For other storage combinations this attribute will be extended appropriately.
in_voltageX_index / in_voltageX-voltageY_index / timestamp_index:
A single positive integer specifying the position of this scan element in the buffer. Note these are not dependent on what is enabled and may not be contiguous. Thus for user-space to establish the full layout these must be used in conjunction with all _en attributes to establish which channels are present, and the relevant _type attributes to establish the data storage format.
Low level register access via debugfs (direct_reg_access)
Some IIO drivers feature an optional debug facility, allowing users to read or write registers directly. Special care needs to be taken when using this feature, since you can modify registers on the back of the driver. Accessing debugfs requires root privileges.
In order to identify if the IIO device in question feature this option you first need to identify the IIO device number.
Therefore read the name attribute of each IIO device
This specifies any shell prompt running on the target
root@analog:~# grep "" /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device*/name ad7768-1 root@analog:~#
Change directory to /sys/kernel/debug/iio/iio:deviceX and check if the direct_reg_access file exists.
This specifies any shell prompt running on the target
root@analog:~# cd /sys/kernel/debug/iio/iio\:device0/ root@analog:/sys/kernel/debug/iio/iio:device0# ls direct_reg_access ls direct_reg_access root@analog:/sys/kernel/debug/iio/iio:device0#
Reading
This specifies any shell prompt running on the target
root@analog:/sys/kernel/debug/iio/iio:device0# echo 0x3 > direct_reg_access root@analog:/sys/kernel/debug/iio/iio:device0# cat direct_reg_access 0x7 root@analog:/sys/kernel/debug/iio/iio:device0#
Writing
Write ADDRESS VALUE
This specifies any shell prompt running on the target
root@analog:/sys/kernel/debug/iio/iio:device0# echo 0x15 0x2 > direct_reg_access root@analog:/sys/kernel/debug/iio/iio:device0# cat direct_reg_access 0x2 root@analog:/sys/kernel/debug/iio/iio:device0#
