Multiple Smart Batteries

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am able to load and use the smartbatt.c  module to
monitor ONE battery. So far so good.

I also have a Dual Smart Battery System Manager
(LTC1760) chip which takes care of multiple batteris 
by switching SMBus's. I wrote the module and it seems
to work pretty well. I can select the battery and then
basically read the values using
/proc/sys/dev/sensosrs/smartbatt-i2c-0-0b/* files


Question 1)

How should I configure so that I can I see multiple
batteries? Should I create files:
 
/proc/sys/dev/sensors/ltc1760-i2c-0-0a/
/proc/sys/dev/sensors/ltc1760-i2c-0-0a/batt1_i
/proc/sys/dev/sensors/ltc1760-i2c-0-0a/batt1_v
..
/proc/sys/dev/sensors/ltc1760-i2c-0-0a/batt2_i
/proc/sys/dev/sensors/ltc1760-i2c-0-0a/batt2_v

OR
/proc/sys/dev/sensors/ltc1760-i2c-0-0a/
/proc/sys/dev/sensors/ltc1760-i2c-0-0a/batt1/i
/proc/sys/dev/sensors/ltc1760-i2c-0-0a/batt1/v
..
/proc/sys/dev/sensors/ltc1760-i2c-0-0a/batt2/i
/proc/sys/dev/sensors/ltc1760-i2c-0-0a/batt2/v


Question 2)
I could make my ltc1760.o depend on functions of
smartbatt.o.  or should I really be looking at
/proc/sys/dev/sensors/smartbatt-i2c-0-0b/* files.

Any suggestions?
