AD7768 IIO Precision ADC Linux Driver

Supported Devices

This driver supports the

Evaluation Boards

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.

Example Linux Device-Tree Initialization

Required properties:

  • compatible: Must be one of “adi,ad7768”.
  • reg: SPI chip select number for the device.
  • spi-max-frequency: See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-bus.txt.
  • dmas: DMA specifier, consisting of a phandle to DMA controller node.
  • dma-names: Must be “rx”.
  • vref-supply: phandle to the regulator for ADC reference voltage.

Driver testing

Each and every IIO device, typically a hardware chip, has a device folder under /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX. Where X is the IIO index of the device. Under every of these directory folders reside a set of files, depending on the characteristics and features of the hardware device in question. These files are consistently generalized and documented in the IIO ABI documentation. In order to determine which IIO deviceX corresponds to which hardware device, the user can read the name file /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/name. In case the sequence in which the iio device drivers are loaded/registered is constant, the numbering is constant and may be known in advance.
