ADIS16060 IIO Yaw Rate Gyroscope Linux Driver

Supported Devices

Evaluation Boards

Description

This is a Linux industrial I/O (IIO) subsystem driver, targeting serial interface Gyroscopes. 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.

Declaring SPI slave devices

Unlike PCI or USB devices, SPI devices are not enumerated at the hardware level. Instead, the software must know which devices are connected on each SPI bus segment, and what slave selects these devices are using. For this reason, the kernel code must instantiate SPI devices explicitly. The most common method is to declare the SPI devices by bus number.

This method is appropriate when the SPI bus is a system bus, as in many embedded systems, wherein each SPI bus has a number which is known in advance. It is thus possible to pre-declare the SPI devices that inhabit this bus. This is done with an array of struct spi_board_info, which is registered by calling spi_register_board_info().

Depending on the converter IC used, you may need to set the modalias accordingly, matching your part name. It may also required to adjust max_speed_hz. Please consult the datasheet, for maximum spi clock supported by the device in question.

static struct spi_board_info board_spi_board_info[] __initdata = {
#if defined(CONFIG_ADIS16060) \
	|| defined(CONFIG_ADIS16060_MODULE)
	{
		.modalias = "adis16060_r",
		.max_speed_hz = 2900000,     /* max spi clock (SCK) speed in HZ */
		.bus_num = 0,
		.chip_select = 1, /* CS for read, change it for your board */
		.platform_data = NULL, /* No spi_driver specific config */
		.mode = SPI_MODE_0,
	},
	{
		.modalias = "adis16060_w",
		.max_speed_hz = 2900000,     /* max spi clock (SCK) speed in HZ */
		.bus_num = 0,
		.chip_select = 2, /* CS for write, change it for your board */
		.platform_data = NULL, /* No spi_driver specific config */
		.mode = SPI_MODE_1,
	},
#endif
};

{
	[--snip--]
 
	spi_register_board_info(board_spi_board_info, ARRAY_SIZE(board_spi_board_info));

	return 0;
}
arch_initcall(board_init);

Adding Linux driver support

Configure kernel with “make menuconfig” (alternatively use “make xconfig” or “make qconfig”)

The ADIS16060 Driver depends on CONFIG_SPI

Hardware configuration

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.
