Description

The fixed regulator voltage driver can be used to control these chips. Please connect the ENable switch pin to any available GPIO port on your CPU. This driver adapts to voltage and current regulator framework in Linux kernel.

Example platform device initialization

The default platform info defined in bf537-stamp board file is for ad122. If you want to customize this driver for other switch only regulator, you should revise the platform information accordingly.

Define device supply name exported by the adp_switch driver.

adp122_consumers{}

Define regulator init data of this supply.

adp_switch_regulator_data{}

Add new userspace consumer platform device for this supply.

adp122_bulk_data{} adp122_userspace_comsumer_data{} adp122_userspace_consumer_device{}

Adding Linux driver support

Enable generic GPIO lib in kernel option.

Device Drivers  --->
[*] GPIO Support  --->

Select voltage and current regulator framework support and enable adp_switch driver. Don’t forget to select userspace regulator consumer driver as a module. adp_switch driver is initialized after userspace consumer driver, if both are built into kernel.

Hardware configuration

Driver testing

Check regulator driver initialization information at kernel booting.

regulator: core version 0.5
regulator: adp122: 2500 mV

Check if adp122 is probed properly.

Insert user space consumer driver module and check usability.
