Hi,
Did anyone ever asked for meaningful names for the iio-hwmon readout?
I integrated the Xilinx AMS block which now shows up through the
sensors readout as:
iio_hwmon-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
in1: 1.19 V
in2: 357.00 mV
in3: 860.00 mV
in4: 859.00 mV
in5: 1.78 V
in6: 1.78 V
in7: 842.00 mV
temp1: +45.0 C
temp2: +44.4 C
temp3: -280.2 C
But I believe an option to make more sense of in1 - in7 and
temp1-temp3 would be a nice addition.
IIO recently gained supported for attaching a descriptive label to a
channel[1]. The hwmon framework has a similar mechanism where a driver
can report a label for a channel.
But the IIO hwmon bridge doesn't have support for handling labels yet.
But if you are interested in this feature this might be a nice small
project to work on.
hwmon also has the sensors.conf which allows to provide labels for
channels through a userspace configuration file[2].
