Description
This is a Linux industrial I/O (Linux Industrial I/O Subsystem) subsystem driver, targeting serial interface Inertial Measurement Units (IMU). The industrial I/O subsystem provides a unified framework for drivers for many different types of converters and sensors using a number of different physical interfaces (i2c, spi, etc). See Linux Industrial I/O Subsystem for more information.

Hardware configuration
The evaluation kits simplify the process of connecting an IMU to an embedded processor system using a 16-pin, 1mm ribbon cable. For a detailed description check the links (on the beginning of the page) for the appropriated evaluation kit. Here is an example of basic connection from one ADIS device interface connector to the host:(microprocessor):
DEVICE HOST MICROPROCESSOR
* DR ———————> IRQ GPIO
* CS <——————— SPI_SEL
* SCLK <——————— SPI_SCLK
* DIN <——————— SPI_MOSI
* DOUT ———————> SPI_MISO
Each and every IIO device, typically a hardware chip, has a device folder under
/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX. Where X is the IIO index of the device. Under
every of these directory folders reside a set of files, depending on the
characteristics and features of the hardware device in question. These files
are consistently generalized and documented in the IIO ABI documentation. In
order to determine which IIO deviceX corresponds to which hardware device, the
user can read the name file /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/name. In case
the sequence in which the iio device drivers are loaded/registered is constant,
the numbering is constant and may be known in advance.

Devicetree configuration
Analog Devices ADIS16475 and similar IMUs
Required properties for the ADIS16475:
compatible: Must be one of
adi,adis16465-1adi,adis16465-2adi,adis16465-3adi,adis16467-1adi,adis16467-2adi,adis16467-3adi,adis16470adi,adis16475-1adi,adis16475-2adi,adis16475-3adi,adis16477-1adi,adis16477-2adi,adis16477-3adi,adis16500adi,adis16505-1adi,adis16505-2adi,adis16505-3adi,adis16507-1adi,adis16507-2adi,adis16507-3
reg: SPI chip select number for the device
spi-cpha: See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-bus.txt
spi-cpol: See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-bus.txt
interrupts: interrupt mapping for IRQ, accepted values are:
IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISINGIRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING
These flags are defined in
<dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/irq.h>.
Optional properties
reset-gpios: must be the device tree identifier of the RESET pin. As the line is active low, it should be marked GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW.
spi-max-frequency: Max SPI frequency to use see: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-bus.txt. The maximum supported value is 2MHz.
clocks: phandle to the external synchronization clock for an input mode. The driver acquires this clock without a name;clock-namesdoes not select the synchronization mode.adi,sync-mode: numeric selection interpreted through the matched variant’s synchronization-mode table. If omitted, the driver uses the internal clock, even ifclocksis present. For the ADIS1647x/ADIS1650x devices described below, the mode values are:0 (sync output): The device uses its internal clock and pulses the SYNC pin when the internal processor collects data from the inertial sensors. No external input clock is acquired in this mode.
1 (direct input): In this mode, the signal of SYNC pin directly controls the sample clock. In this mode, the processor collects gyroscope data samples on the rising edge of the clock and it collects accelerometer data samples on both rising and falling edge of the clock. For ADIS16475, use a 50% duty-cycle input clock at 1900 to 2100 Hz. The duty-cycle requirement matters because the accelerometer collects and averages samples from both clock edges.
2 (scaled input): This mode is useful when synchronizing the data processing with a PPS signal from a global positioning system (GPS) receiver or with a synchronization signal from a video processing system. The clock-frequency must be 1 to 128 Hz.
3 (pulse input, where supported): In this mode, the processor only collects accelerometer samples on the leading edge of the clock, which enables the use of narrow pulse width in the clock signal. The clock-frequency must be 1000 to 2100 Hz (this mode is not supported by the adis1650x devices).
In scaled mode, the driver computes SYNC_SCALE during initialization and recomputes it when
sampling_frequency changes.
Burst transfer width is selected internally from variant capabilities and whether filtering/decimation produces meaningful low bits.
Example
imu@0 {
compatible = "adi,adis16475-3";
reg = <0>;
spi-cpha;
spi-cpol;
spi-max-frequency = <2000000>;
interrupts = <4 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING>;
interrupt-parent = <&gpio>;
};
For more supported devicetree properties take a look to dt-bindings.
Setup on Raspbian image
Setting up the driver on the official Raspbian image.
Step 1: Install official Raspberry Pi image
Step 2: Rebuilding the kernel requires either native (on raspberry) build or cross-compilation. Follow the official steps: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/linux_kernel.html

Step 2.1: Follow instructions until
Customize the kernelpartStep 2.2: Activate the desired sensor module by running
make menuconfig, look for module by typing./adis16475or./adis16480and setting the module with[M]in front of their name. Save changes.Step 2.3: Overlay files must be created in the following directory:
arch/arm64/boot/dts/overlays/adis16475-overlay.dts \
or
arch/arm64/boot/dts/overlays/adis16480-overlay.dts \
and added to Makefile: arch/arm64/boot/dts/overlays/Makefile the following
line:
adis16475.dtbo \
or
adis16480.dtbo \
Step 2.4: After these changes, the kernel build steps can be continued. After the kernel image and the overlays have been copied to the boot file system, the following lines have to be added to the end of
/boot/firmware/config.txt:
[all]
dtoverlay=adis164XX
dtparam=device="adi,adis16YYY-Z"
An example for adis16505-2, supported by module adis16475:
[all]
dtoverlay=adis16475
dtparam=device="adi,adis16505-2"
Step 3 (Optional): Install libiio according to: https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-software/libiio
After reboot, the driver should be ready to use.

Set sampling frequency
The sampling frequency of the device can be set by writing the desired value to
the sampling_frequency file. The driver rounds the required decimation
divisor to the nearest integer (with variant bounds); the resulting sample
frequency can be either above or below the requested rate. Read
sampling_frequency back after writing it.
Example:
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat sampling_frequency
2000.000000
pi@raspberrypi:/s
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> echo 1000 > sampling_frequency
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat sampling_frequency
1000.000000
Show channel value
A channel value can be read from its _raw attribute. The value returned by
the _raw attribute is the raw value as reported by the device. To get the
processed value of the channel in a standardized unit add the channels
_offset attribute to the _raw value and multiply the result by
_scale attribute. If no _offset attribute is present assume 0 for the
offset.
processed value = (raw + offset) * scale
The units by the IIO framework are:
Acceleration: Meter per Second squared
Angular velocity: Rad per second
Temperature: milli Degree Celsius
Example:
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat in_accel_z_raw
52612913
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat in_accel_scale
0.000000187
Z-axis acceleration = in_accel_z_raw * in_accel_scale = 52612913 * 0.000000187
m/s^2 = 9.838 m/s^2
Set gyro and accel bandwidth
The gyro and accel bandwidth can be set by writing the desired value to the
filter_low_pass_3db_frequency attribute. The driver will automatically round
up to the nearest supported bandwidth.
Example:
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat filter_low_pass_3db_frequency
720.000000
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> echo 360 > filter_low_pass_3db_frequency
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat filter_low_pass_3db_frequency
360.000000
Trigger management
Note
This driver only supports it’s own default trigger source adis16477-1-dev0
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> cat trigger/current_trigger

Tip
In case there is no trigger specified, run the following command:
root@analog:/sys/bus/iio/devices# cat trigger0/name > iio\:device0/trigger/current_trigger
Buffer management
root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/buffer> ls
data_available enable length watermark
The Industrial I/O subsystem supports buffered data acquisition. Buffer
implementation and capabilities depend on the driver. Devices with buffer
support expose each buffer at
/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/bufferY, where Y is the buffer index,
starting at 0. The first buffer is additionally exposed through the legacy
buffer directory, which contains its buffer-control attributes. Its scan
configuration is exposed through the legacy scan_elements directory, while
multi-buffer systems expose the scan attributes in the corresponding
bufferY directory. Read samples from the device character node
/dev/iio:deviceX; the selected buffer is determined by the active buffer
configuration.
- length
Get/set the number of sample sets that may be held by the buffer.
- enable
Enables/disables the buffer. This file should be written last, after length and selection of scan elements.
- watermark
A single positive integer specifying the maximum number of scan elements to wait for. Poll will block until the watermark is reached. Blocking read will wait until the minimum between the requested read amount or the low water mark is available. Non-blocking read will retrieve the available samples from the buffer even if there are less samples then watermark level. This allows the application to block on poll with a timeout and read the available samples after the timeout expires and thus have a maximum delay guarantee.
- data_available
A read-only value indicating the bytes of data available in the buffer. In the case of an output buffer, this indicates the amount of empty space available to write data to. In the case of an input buffer, this indicates the amount of data available for reading.
- length_align_bytes
Using the high-speed interface. DMA buffers may have an alignment requirement for the buffer length. Newer versions of the kernel will report the alignment requirements associated with a device through the
length_align_bytesproperty.- scan_elements
The scan_elements directory contains interfaces for elements that will be captured for a single triggered sample set in the buffer.

The driver does not register diagnostic or CRC flag scan channels. It validates the burst checksum internally and rejects an invalid burst before delivering samples to the buffer.
- in_voltageX_en / in_voltageX-voltageY_en / in_timestamp_en:
Scan element control for triggered data capture. Writing 1 will enable the scan element, writing 0 will disable it
- in_voltageX_type / in_voltageX-voltageY_type / in_timestamp_type:
Describes the scan element’s representation in the buffer. The format is
[be|le]:[s|u]bits/storagebits[Xrepeat]>>shift. The prefix gives byte order;soruspecifies signed (two’s complement) or unsigned data.bitsis the number of meaningful bits andstoragebitsis the storage width. The optional repeat count describes repeated elements. After interpreting byte order, shift the storage value right byshiftand mask it tobits; signed values also require sign extension. For example,be:u12/16>>1describes an unsigned 12-bit value in big-endian 16-bit storage, shifted right by one bit. Account for alignment padding when combining enabled elements into a complete scan.- in_voltageX_index / in_voltageX-voltageY_index / in_timestamp_index:
A nonnegative integer specifying the ordering of this scan element in the buffer. Note these are not dependent on what is enabled and may not be contiguous. Thus for user-space to establish the full layout these must be used in conjunction with all _en attributes to establish which channels are present, and the relevant _type attributes to establish the data storage format.
