Hi Lucas,

Adding linux-iio and linux-media, I hope you don't mind.

Hi Daniel,

My colleague, Roberto Cornetti, attended your IIO talk at LinuxCon
recently and is using the IIO subsystem for an I2C IMU.


Glad to hear that :)

My question is if IIO the appropriate subsystem for a thermal camera
sensor. The driver needs to acquire frames over SPI and configure the
sensor via I2C. It also has to respond to a GPIO interrupt to
synchronize with the camera.

I am not sure exactly about this. My feeling is that this should go with the v4l subsystem thus Cc-ing linux-media.

Do you have any datasheet for this sensor?

At some point [1] we considered introducing the fingerprint sensor as an IIO device, but that didn't quite fit. So, we reconsidered using v4l.
I this is your case too :).

Hope this helps.
Daniel.
