Hello, I'm writing a driver for an FPGA device that collects information from several sensors. The data is collected every 20 milliseconds (i.e. 50 times a second). The data is a 256 byte block that is put to a ring buffer in the hardware. The software should read the data quickly to avoid it being overwritten in the ring buffer. It is very important not to lose any data; previous values are just as important as the current ones. No parsing needs to be done in the kernel; the userspace will take care of it. Is IIO a good choice for such device? I see that the existing IIO drivers are careful to describe all data they collect. I'm not going to do that in the kernel (OK, maybe later to allow other utilities to get the parsed data, but it can be done in userspace too). I would really appreciate is somebody could point me to a driver that implements similar functionality. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- 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
