This is a series of patch which adds Updown Counter support on
Milbeaut M10V SoC.
The Updown Counter counts input pulse signal from external quadrature encoder.
It also has input pulse signal counter function.
Hi Shinji,
Are you aware of the counter subsystem that has been proposed (and
as far as I am concerned is ready to be merged)?
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-iio/list/?series=147
(I think that's the latest version posted)..
William, perhaps you could give an update?
(bad luck, you are getting popular ;)
I'll take a quick review as it stands, as some issues may carry over.
I appreciate that it's always unfortunate to try to upstream stuff at the
same time as a new framework is being developed / upstreamed, but I don't
intend to take any additional counter drivers into IIO. We just
end up having to maintain old interfaces in more and more drivers.
Thanks,
Jonathan
Shinji,
If you reimplement this driver to use the new Generic Counter API, I can
pick it up and include it with my next patchset submission. Please base
your patches ontop of the "generic_counter_v10" branch from my personal
repository:
https://gitlab.com/vilhelmgray/iio/commits/generic_counter_v10
Documentation can be found at:
Documentation/driver-api/generic-counter.rst
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-counter
Look at the existing drivers inside the drivers/counter directory to
serve as references:
drivers/counter/ftm-quaddec.c
drivers/counter/stm32-timer-cnt.c
If you have any troubles or difficulties with the API, send me a message
and I will be happy to help. :-)
Thank you for your information.
I read and understand the new Generic Counter API.
Thank you,
Kanematsu
Thank you,
William Breathitt Gray
