Hi,
We have here in our company an internal hardware platform for our linux
development that can measure current in a few circuits with nanoamps
precision.
The measured values are exposed by a 32bit register that must read as a
32bit float.
If we follow the hwmon sysfs interface we loss precision converting to
milliamps, where the final value exposed is zero.
Example :
Measure 291nA becomes 0mA under sysfs curr1_input
The best solution for me would be a file in sysfs that I could just
expose the float from my register (like curr1_input_float), this
solution has two benefits for me:
- I wouldn't need to convert my internal float to int
- This would give the best precision that I can have from my hardware
The value could be exposed as a 32bit hex string, like 0x349c3abc.
So, how should I proceed with this ?
Thanks
Lucas Tanure
