I've tried catting them from /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_voltageX_raw, using the generic_buffer program provided by the kernel, and using the Analog Devices libiio library. In all cases, I get the same results, adc values that look reasonable, but the touch screen stops responding. > Does the touchscreen freeze indefinitely or does it come back after ADC sampling is stopped? > I've asked on the TI support forum if they could help with this problem, but their response was that they only supported the TI SDK. > > Can any of you tell me if the current iio subsystem will work correctly with the ti touch screen and adc drivers? > I have been working on porting Linux to a device that uses the AM335x and have noticed that the drivers has undergone many changes recently. I am now using a 4.0 kernel and am able to sample the ADC and use the touchscreen simultaneously. When sampling the ADC you will notice that the touchscreen is less responsive but it does not freeze. The responsiveness comes back when ADC sampling stops. One thing that I have noticed recently is that when using ts_calibrate or ts_test the screen will register touch releases repeatedly without touching the screen. I have a workaround patch but have not attempted to push it upstream yet. So it won't freeze the touchscreen completely after sampling ADCs but you still may notice some quirks. The best way to find out is building the new kernel and trying it out. > Greg Wilson-Lindberg > Sakura Finetek > 310-783-5075 > -- > 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 -- 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
