EVAL-AD7152EBZ

Description

This is a Linux industrial I/O (Linux Industrial I/O Subsystem) subsystem driver, targeting single and multi channel serial interface Capacitance to Digital Converters. 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.

AD7152

The AD7152 is a high resolution capacitance-to-digital converter with on- chip calibration for use in proximity sensing, level sensing, and other capacitive measurement applications. It features two independent channels with 16-bit resolution and programmable conversion rates up to 200 Hz.

AD7153

The AD7153 is a single-channel version of the AD7152, providing the same 16-bit capacitance-to-digital conversion with on-chip calibration. It offers a cost-effective solution for single-sensor applications requiring accurate capacitive measurements with low power consumption.

Unlike PCI or USB devices, I2C devices are not enumerated at the hardware level. Instead, the software must know which devices are connected on each I2C bus segment, and what address these devices are using. For this reason, the kernel code must instantiate I2C devices explicitly. There are different ways to achieve this, depending on the context and requirements. However the most common method is to declare the I2C devices by bus number.

This method is appropriate when the I2C bus is a system bus, as in many embedded systems, wherein each I2C bus has a number which is known in advance. It is thus possible to pre-declare the I2C devices that inhabit this bus. This is done with an array of struct i2c_board_info, which is registered by calling i2c_register_board_info().

So, to enable such a driver one need only edit the board support file by adding an appropriate entry to i2c_board_info.

For more information see: How to instantiate I2C devices

Depending on the converter IC used, you may need to set the I2C_BOARD_INFO name accordingly, matching your part name.

    return 0;
}
arch_initcall(board_init);

Adding Linux driver support

Configure kernel with make menuconfig (alternatively use make xconfig or make qconfig)

Note

The driver depends on CONFIG_I2C

Driver testing

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.
