Agreed! You may try the following: https://kernelnewbies.org/IIO_tasks Please don't send these Tasks on iio list. > In case the idea is to start working on the driver itself I'd like to > discuss about the same. My personal opinion: Try to get atleast a small patchset accepted in the kernel. It helps you get familiar with all the tools and how kernel cycle moves. I strongly agree with Jonathan on 'setup', whatever hardware you plan to use in the project say., how would you build/test kernel on Rpi or beagle or QEMU or diolan ? dt-overlay, acpi enumeration ? Pray that AD7292 doesn't have an unusual SPI interface. Otherwise you end up like me ;) If you really want to try some sensor, I would recommend https://www.tanotis.com/ to buy them as they have cheap and low duty-taxes+GST+ ... In my case I ordered from mouser IIRC: ₹ 1,459.58(sensor) + ₹ 1,750.58(duty taxes + other taxes from Indian Gov.) Yeah, taxes are more than the actual sensor! Surreal :/ Feel free to query mentors and community with questions -- I would join you too.
