From: Irina Tirdea <irina.tirdea@xxxxxxxxx> This change is needed for the step counter functionality of a pedometer. The step counter needs to be enabled and then it will count the steps in its hardware register. Whenever the applications need to check the step count, they will read the step counter register. Since the pedometer needs to be enabled once so that the hardware can count and store the steps, we need a specific enable attribute. For more information on the pedometer requirements for Android see http://source.android.com/devices/sensors/composite_sensors.html#counter. A device that has the pedometer functionality this interface needs to support is Freescale's MMA9553L: http://www.freescale.com/files/sensors/doc/ref_manual/MMA9553LSWRM.pdf Signed-off-by: Irina Tirdea <irina.tirdea@xxxxxxxxx> --- Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio | 7 +++++++ drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c | 1 + include/linux/iio/iio.h | 1 + 3 files changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio index feacb45..c02785d 100644 --- a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio +++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio @@ -949,6 +949,13 @@ Description: and the relevant _type attributes to establish the data storage format. +What: /sys/.../iio:deviceX/in_activity_enable +KernelVersion: 3.17 +Contact: linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +Description: + Activates the step counter and all dependent features + (e.g.: walked distance, activity detection like running, walking, etc.). + What: /sys/.../iio:deviceX/in_activity_steps_raw KernelVersion: 3.17 Contact: linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx diff --git a/drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c b/drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c index 935a8a1..936df49 100644 --- a/drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c +++ b/drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c @@ -119,6 +119,7 @@ static const char * const iio_chan_info_postfix[] = { [IIO_CHAN_INFO_HARDWAREGAIN] = "hardwaregain", [IIO_CHAN_INFO_HYSTERESIS] = "hysteresis", [IIO_CHAN_INFO_INT_TIME] = "integration_time", + [IIO_CHAN_INFO_ENABLE] = "enable", }; /** diff --git a/include/linux/iio/iio.h b/include/linux/iio/iio.h index 15dc6bc..3d3f06f 100644 --- a/include/linux/iio/iio.h +++ b/include/linux/iio/iio.h @@ -37,6 +37,7 @@ enum iio_chan_info_enum { IIO_CHAN_INFO_HARDWAREGAIN, IIO_CHAN_INFO_HYSTERESIS, IIO_CHAN_INFO_INT_TIME, + IIO_CHAN_INFO_ENABLE, }; enum iio_shared_by { -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
