I¹m working on a project that uses the ADE7878 Energy Measurement part
from Analog Devices. Currently there is an IIO device driver in the
staging/iio/meter folder, but I would like to extend this by adding high
speed sampling of the AC waveforms. The ADE7878 will continuously output
samples (8 Khz) of the voltage/current waveforms via an I2S interface. I
plan to use DMA to store these values in a buffer and then use IIO Ring
Buffer to access these values from User Space.
Was this considered in the IIO framework and does anyone have any
suggestions on how I might proceed?
Hi,
We do have patches for better integration of DMA (especially for high speed
devices) into the IIO framework[1]. This is not yet upstream since it is
still a bit WIP, but I'm confident that it will find it's way into upstream
soon. The patches are pretty isolated, so they can easily be applied on top
of a upstream tree.
But with DMA you'll need a host component that supports this. The ADE7878
driver on it's own can not do any DMA since it doesn't know how it is
connected to the host system. I2S is typically used for audio and all I2S
host driver reside in the audio subsystem. The tricky part will now be - if
there is already a I2S driver for your host system - how to bridge the audio
driver with the ADE7878 driver and expose the result as a DMA capable IIO
device.
