For generic IIO trigger implementations we already have a sub-directory, but the generic buffer implementations currently reside in the IIO top-level directory. The main reason is that things have historically grown into this form. With more generic buffer implementations on its way now is the perfect time to clean this up and introduce a sub-directory for generic buffer implementations to avoid too much clutter in the top-level directory.

<title>Introduction</title>

<para>

The main purpose of the Industrial I/O subsystem (IIO) is to provide
|
|
support for devices that in some sense perform either analog-to-digital
|
|
conversion (ADC) or digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) or both. The aim
|
|
is to fill the gap between the somewhat similar hwmon and input
|
|
subsystems.
|
|
Hwmon is directed at low sample rate sensors used to monitor and
|
|
control the system itself, like fan speed control or temperature
|
|
measurement. Input is, as its name suggests, focused on human interaction
|
|
input devices (keyboard, mouse, touchscreen). In some cases there is
|
|
considerable overlap between these and IIO.

An IIO device usually corresponds to a single hardware sensor and it
|
|
provides all the information needed by a driver handling a device.
|
|
Let's first have a look at the functionality embedded in an IIO
|
|
device then we will show how a device driver makes use of an IIO
|
|
device.

A typical IIO driver will register itself as an I2C or SPI driver and will
|
|
create two routines, <function> probe </function> and <function> remove

</function>. At <function>probe</function>:

|
|
<para>
|
|
Attributes are sysfs files used to expose chip info and also allowing
|
|
applications to set various configuration parameters. For device
|
|
with index X, attributes can be found under
|
|
<filename>/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/ </filename> directory.
|
|
Common attributes are:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><filename>name</filename>, description of the physical
|
|
chip.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem><filename>dev</filename>, shows the major:minor pair

!Finclude/linux/iio/iio.h iio_chan_spec structure.
|
|
<para>
|
|
An IIO device channel is a representation of a data channel. An
|
|
IIO device can have one or multiple channels. For example:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
a thermometer sensor has one channel representing the
|
|
temperature measurement.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
a light sensor with two channels indicating the measurements in
|
|
the visible and infrared spectrum.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
an accelerometer can have up to 3 channels representing
|
|
acceleration on X, Y and Z axes.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
An IIO channel is described by the <type> struct iio_chan_spec
|
|
</type>. A thermometer driver for the temperature sensor in the
|
|
example above would have to describe its channel as follows:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
static const struct iio_chan_spec temp_channel[] = {
|
|
{
|
|
.type = IIO_TEMP,
|
|
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED),
|
|
},
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
Channel sysfs attributes exposed to userspace are specified in
|
|
the form of <emphasis>bitmasks</emphasis>. Depending on their
|
|
shared info, attributes can be set in one of the following masks:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><emphasis>info_mask_separate</emphasis>, attributes will
|
|
be specific to this channel</listitem>
|
|
<listitem><emphasis>info_mask_shared_by_type</emphasis>,
|
|
attributes are shared by all channels of the same type</listitem>
|
|
<listitem><emphasis>info_mask_shared_by_dir</emphasis>, attributes
|
|
are shared by all channels of the same direction </listitem>
|
|
<listitem><emphasis>info_mask_shared_by_all</emphasis>,
|
|
attributes are shared by all channels</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
When there are multiple data channels per channel type we have two
|
|
ways to distinguish between them:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem> set <emphasis> .modified</emphasis> field of <type>
|
|
iio_chan_spec</type> to 1. Modifiers are specified using
|
|
<emphasis>.channel2</emphasis> field of the same
|
|
<type>iio_chan_spec</type> structure and are used to indicate a
|
|
physically unique characteristic of the channel such as its direction
|
|
or spectral response. For example, a light sensor can have two channels,
|
|
one for infrared light and one for both infrared and visible light.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem> set <emphasis>.indexed </emphasis> field of
|
|
<type>iio_chan_spec</type> to 1. In this case the channel is
|
|
simply another instance with an index specified by the
|
|
<emphasis>.channel</emphasis> field.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
Here is how we can make use of the channel's modifiers:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
static const struct iio_chan_spec light_channels[] = {
|
|
{
|
|
.type = IIO_INTENSITY,
|
|
.modified = 1,
|
|
.channel2 = IIO_MOD_LIGHT_IR,
|
|
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
|
|
.info_mask_shared = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ),
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
.type = IIO_INTENSITY,
|
|
.modified = 1,
|
|
.channel2 = IIO_MOD_LIGHT_BOTH,
|
|
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
|
|
.info_mask_shared = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ),
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
.type = IIO_LIGHT,
|
|
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED),
|
|
.info_mask_shared = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ),
|
|
},
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
This channel's definition will generate two separate sysfs files
|
|
for raw data retrieval:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<filename>/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/in_intensity_ir_raw</filename>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<filename>/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/in_intensity_both_raw</filename>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
one file for processed data:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<filename>/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/in_illuminance_input
|
|
</filename>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
and one shared sysfs file for sampling frequency:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<filename>/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/sampling_frequency.
|
|
</filename>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Here is how we can make use of the channel's indexing:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
static const struct iio_chan_spec light_channels[] = {
|
|
{
|
|
.type = IIO_VOLTAGE,
|
|
.indexed = 1,
|
|
.channel = 0,
|
|
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
.type = IIO_VOLTAGE,
|
|
.indexed = 1,
|
|
.channel = 1,
|
|
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
This will generate two separate attributes files for raw data
|
|
retrieval:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<filename>/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/in_voltage0_raw</filename>,
|

representing voltage measurement for channel 0.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|

<filename>/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/in_voltage1_raw</filename>,
|

For example, a driver for a 3-axis accelerometer with 12 bit
|
|
resolution where data is stored in two 8-bits registers as
|
|
follows:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
|
|
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|
|
|D3 |D2 |D1 |D0 | X | X | X | X | (LOW byte, address 0x06)
|
|
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|
|
|
|
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
|
|
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|
|
|D11|D10|D9 |D8 |D7 |D6 |D5 |D4 | (HIGH byte, address 0x07)
|
|
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
will have the following scan element type for each axis:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
$ cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/scan_elements/in_accel_y_type
|
|
le:s12/16>>4
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
A user space application will interpret data samples read from the
|
|
buffer as two byte little endian signed data, that needs a 4 bits
|
|
right shift before masking out the 12 valid bits of data.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
For implementing buffer support a driver should initialize the following
|
|
fields in <type>iio_chan_spec</type> definition:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
struct iio_chan_spec {
|
|
/* other members */
|
|
int scan_index
|
|
struct {
|
|
char sign;
|
|
u8 realbits;
|
|
u8 storagebits;
|
|
u8 shift;
|
|
u8 repeat;
|
|
enum iio_endian endianness;
|
|
} scan_type;
|
|
};
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
The driver implementing the accelerometer described above will
|
|
have the following channel definition:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
struct struct iio_chan_spec accel_channels[] = {
|
|
{
|
|
.type = IIO_ACCEL,
|
|
.modified = 1,
|
|
.channel2 = IIO_MOD_X,
|
|
/* other stuff here */
|
|
.scan_index = 0,
|

.scan_type = {

.storgebits = 16,
|
|
.shift = 4,
|
|
.endianness = IIO_LE,
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
/* similar for Y (with channel2 = IIO_MOD_Y, scan_index = 1)
|
|
* and Z (with channel2 = IIO_MOD_Z, scan_index = 2) axis
|
|
*/
|
|
}
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Here <emphasis> scan_index </emphasis> defines the order in which
|
|
the enabled channels are placed inside the buffer. Channels with a lower
|
|
scan_index will be placed before channels with a higher index. Each
|
|
channel needs to have a unique scan_index.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Setting scan_index to -1 can be used to indicate that the specific
|
|
channel does not support buffered capture. In this case no entries will
|
|
be created for the channel in the scan_elements directory.

In many situations it is useful for a driver to be able to
|
|
capture data based on some external event (trigger) as opposed
|
|
to periodically polling for data. An IIO trigger can be provided
|
|
by a device driver that also has an IIO device based on hardware

provided by a separate driver from an independent interrupt
|

source (e.g. GPIO line connected to some external system, timer

interrupt or user space writing a specific file in sysfs). A

trigger may initiate data capture for a number of sensors and

also it may be completely unrelated to the sensor itself.

There are two locations in sysfs related to triggers:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><filename>/sys/bus/iio/devices/triggerY</filename>,
|
|
this file is created once an IIO trigger is registered with
|
|
the IIO core and corresponds to trigger with index Y. Because
|
|
triggers can be very different depending on type there are few
|
|
standard attributes that we can describe here:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<emphasis>name</emphasis>, trigger name that can be later
|
|
used for association with a device.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<emphasis>sampling_frequency</emphasis>, some timer based
|
|
triggers use this attribute to specify the frequency for
|
|
trigger calls.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<filename>/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/trigger/</filename>, this
|
|
directory is created once the device supports a triggered
|
|
buffer. We can associate a trigger with our device by writing
|
|
the trigger's name in the <filename>current_trigger</filename> file.

Let's see a simple example of how to setup a trigger to be used
|
|
by a driver.
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
struct iio_trigger_ops trigger_ops = {
|
|
.set_trigger_state = sample_trigger_state,
|
|
.validate_device = sample_validate_device,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
struct iio_trigger *trig;
|
|
|
|
/* first, allocate memory for our trigger */
|
|
trig = iio_trigger_alloc(dev, "trig-%s-%d", name, idx);
|
|
|
|
/* setup trigger operations field */
|
|
trig->ops = &trigger_ops;
|
|
|
|
/* now register the trigger with the IIO core */
|
|
iio_trigger_register(trig);
|
|
</programlisting>

</para>

Notice that a trigger has a set of operations attached:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<function>set_trigger_state</function>, switch the trigger on/off
|
|
on demand.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<function>validate_device</function>, function to validate the
|
|
device when the current trigger gets changed.

work together.

A typical triggered buffer setup looks like this:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
const struct iio_buffer_setup_ops sensor_buffer_setup_ops = {
|
|
.preenable = sensor_buffer_preenable,
|
|
.postenable = sensor_buffer_postenable,
|
|
.postdisable = sensor_buffer_postdisable,
|
|
.predisable = sensor_buffer_predisable,
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
irqreturn_t sensor_iio_pollfunc(int irq, void *p)
|
|
{
|
|
pf->timestamp = iio_get_time_ns();
|
|
return IRQ_WAKE_THREAD;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
irqreturn_t sensor_trigger_handler(int irq, void *p)
|
|
{
|
|
u16 buf[8];
|
|
int i = 0;
|
|
|
|
/* read data for each active channel */
|
|
for_each_set_bit(bit, active_scan_mask, masklength)
|
|
buf[i++] = sensor_get_data(bit)
|
|
|
|
iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp(indio_dev, buf, timestamp);
|
|
|
|
iio_trigger_notify_done(trigger);
|
|
return IRQ_HANDLED;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* setup triggered buffer, usually in probe function */
|
|
iio_triggered_buffer_setup(indio_dev, sensor_iio_polfunc,
|
|
sensor_trigger_handler,
|
|
sensor_buffer_setup_ops);
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
The important things to notice here are:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><function> iio_buffer_setup_ops</function>, the buffer setup
|
|
functions to be called at predefined points in the buffer configuration
|
|
sequence (e.g. before enable, after disable). If not specified, the
|
|
IIO core uses the default <type>iio_triggered_buffer_setup_ops</type>.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem><function>sensor_iio_pollfunc</function>, the function that
|
|
will be used as top half of poll function. It should do as little
|
|
processing as possible, because it runs in interrupt context. The most
|
|
common operation is recording of the current timestamp and for this reason
|
|
one can use the IIO core defined <function>iio_pollfunc_store_time
|
|
</function> function.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem><function>sensor_trigger_handler</function>, the function that
|
|
will be used as bottom half of the poll function. This runs in the
|
|
context of a kernel thread and all the processing takes place here.
|
|
It usually reads data from the device and stores it in the internal
|
|
buffer together with the timestamp recorded in the top half.

IIO core may change during time so the best documentation to read is the
|
|
source code. There are several locations where you should look:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<filename>drivers/iio/</filename>, contains the IIO core plus
|
|
and directories for each sensor type (e.g. accel, magnetometer,
|
|
etc.)
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<filename>include/linux/iio/</filename>, contains the header
|
|
files, nice to read for the internal kernel interfaces.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<filename>include/uapi/linux/iio/</filename>, contains files to be
|
|
used by user space applications.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<filename>tools/iio/</filename>, contains tools for rapidly
|
|
testing buffers, events and device creation.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<filename>drivers/staging/iio/</filename>, contains code for some
|
|
drivers or experimental features that are not yet mature enough
|
|
to be moved out.
|

</listitem>
