Re: ti_am33x_adc sampling bugs

I believe the AIN files came from 0020-iio-ti_am335x_adc-Add-IIO-map-interface.patch. The bug is the same reading from in_voltageX_raw files.

Once 19 was re-applied, the bug returned.

It would appear that patch19 is the problem.  On an unrelated note, the

continuous sampling patch seems to still be missing the mode file to
tell it to sample continuously or oneshot in the sysfs directory as
referenced at
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335x_ADC_Driver%27s_Guide.
Someone should update that wiki page.
Such an attribute was not and will not be
  part of the mainline kernel ABI. Drivers can play fast and loose in staging but to move
  out the ABI must conform to existing definitions or be proposed reviewed and accepted.

I am somewhat confused. Where did the AIN sysfs attributes come from?

Maybe this should be moved to the beta kernel until stable?


Cheers.

The specified patch is already included.  The system was running the
latest kernel from Robert Nelson's repo.  Any suggestions?  I'll try
removing some of the patches to see if it fixes this behavior.  I
have a
feeling I know which one is doing it.

Thanks.

Just in case, I built and installed the kernel and the same behavior
persisted.

IIRC, this patch fixes this issue

Can you compile the kernel from the sources and check?

         Hello fine developers,

         It seems I've stumbled upon a problem while developing a
full
         featured Ruby gem for the Beaglebone.

         It seems a patch included in the beaglebone kernel causes
some
         issues while reading analog inputs.  Apparently the samples
         get backlogged by the number of adc pins in use.  I'm not
sure
         which patch exactly as there are a number that affect adc
         buffering and I'm not currently setup for kernel building,
         however the below output should detail the problem.

         Using the official Debian image.

         This is the normal and expected behavior.

         So far working as intended....  Now reading from the other
pins.
