<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

|
|
<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

|
|
<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 = {
|
|

|
|
.realbits = 12,
|
|
.storagebits = 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
|
|
generated events (e.g. data ready or threshold exceeded) or
|
|
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>
|
|
</sect2>
|
|
|
|
<sect2 id="iiotrigsetup"> <title> IIO trigger ops</title>
|
|
!Finclude/linux/iio/trigger.h iio_trigger_ops
|
|
<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.
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>

<title> Industrial I/O triggered buffers </title>
|

<para>
|

Now that we know what buffers and triggers are let's see how they
|
|
work together.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<sect2 id="iiotrigbufsetup"> <title> IIO triggered buffer setup</title>

<para>
|
|
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((struct indio_dev *)p);
|
|
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>
