Hi, We have a Intel Timed IO peripheral with following functionalities : 1. Event capture capability - Captures event count and timestamp. 2. Pulse generation - periodic or single event generation. 3. Return cross-timestamp on request. Timed IO device is being used in various Industrial use cases such as : time capture, synchronization, fan speed calculation etc. IIO or counter subsystem seems to be suitable for timed-io driver. Is it favourable to implement as part of IIO or counter subsystem ? Wanted to know your feedback. We may need to use custom ABI for sysfs based user interaction OR Can we enhance ioctl interface to accommodate our use case (counter-chardev.c) ? Since timed-io works in nano second precision, ioctl is more suitable. Regards, Pandith and Sowjanya ps : resent the mail with plain text as delivery to linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx failed.
