[RFC PATCH 6/8] iio: core: Introduce new STEP_DETECT event

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

 



From: Irina Tirdea <irina.tirdea@xxxxxxxxx>

This event is needed for the step detection functionality of a pedometer:
an interrupt is generated by the hardware device each time
a step is detected.

To support this, we add a new iio event.

For more information on the pedometer requirements for Android see
http://source.android.com/devices/sensors/composite_sensors.html#detector.

A device that has the pedometer functionality this interface needs to
support is Freescale's MMA9553L:
