[PATCH RFC v2 0/4] iio: adc: ad7380: add alert support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

The ad738x family includes a built-in alert mechanism for early
detection of out-of-bounds conversion results. This series introduces
this functionality to the ad7380 family.

As a reminder, an RFC was sent [1] with several open questions.

Here is a summary of the changes made:

- I now have a better understanding of the alert high/low registers, and
  it is much simpler than I initially thought: users can use the same
scale as the raw value; we just need to extract the 12 MSBs.
- IRQs are now disabled by default and only enabled before read_raw and
  buffered_read operations.
- I implemented the reset timeout mechanism, as suggested in the RFC, to
  avoid generating too many events during buffered reads (this has no
effect on read_raw).
- Reading registers via debugfs no longer triggers events.
- The reset_timeout attribute is added only if an IRQ is present in the
  device tree. However, the high/low thresholds and enable attributes
  are always available. This allows configuration of the thresholds and
  alert enablement even when no interrupts are defined in the device tree.
  For example, a user can enable alerts and hardwire the interrupt line,
  without relying on user events.

- I added an alert section to the documentation.

- Two preliminary commits have been added to this series:
  - A cleanup patch to remove iio_device_claim_direct_scoped calls.
  - A patch to implement regcache.
