Re: IIO Drivers

lars, 

I was under the impression that flag gets added automatically by iio_triggered_buffer_setup (industrialiio-triggers.c:77) - I actually am now able to enable the scan_element after changing my channel .channel and .scan_index to 0 (trying to match exactly the other drivers.)  When i run general_buffer (from the docs dir) with that scan element enabled it can no longer read the trigger (Could not open /trigger/current_trigger  Failed to write current_trigger file) - this succeeds if that scan_element is not enabled.  

Is there a guide anywhere that captures the steps to setup and read from a driver that perhaps I missed?

As I mentioned individual reads are working fine (if i cat in_voltage0_raw) but buffered reads are failing. I've tracked the issue to industrialio-buffer.c in iio_compute_scan_bytes() which always returns zero because, i believe, the mask is 0. I haven't been able to find any docs on what 'scan masks' mean but I have seen a few drivers that supply available scan masks. Should I be specifying scan masks?

I've been able to get a driver up and working such that I can read directly from the in_voltage0_raw on sysfs and get the correct values but I can't seem to get buffered access working (via iio_cmdsrv.) I've had a hard time finding any docs on this stuff and I was wondering if you could give me any pointers on where to look or who else perhaps to ask about this stuff? Any pointers would be very much appreciated!
