IIO子系统(草稿)
简介
IIO子系统全称是Industrial I/O subsystem(工业 I/O 子系统),是专用于模数转换器(ADC)和数模转换器(DAC)的内核子系统,属于IIO的设备如下(参考ADI的WiKi):
- ADCs(模数转换器)
- 加速度传感器
- 陀螺仪
- IMUs(惯性测量单位)
- 电容-数字转换器(CDCs)
- 压力、温度和光线传感器
IIO模型基于设备和通道架构:
- 设备代表芯片本身,它是层次结构的顶级。
- 通道代表设备的单个采集线,设备可以具有一个或多个通道。例如,加速度计是具有 三个通道的装置,每个通道对应一个轴(X,Y和Z)。
IIO框架
设备节点
IIO芯片是物理和硬件传感器/转换器。它作为字符设备(当支持触发缓冲时)暴露给用户空间,以及包含一组文件的sysfs目录条目,其中一些文件代表通道。单个通道用单个sysfs文件条目表示。
下面是从用户空间与IIO驱动程序交互的两种方式:
/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX
: 表示传感器及其通道/dev/iio:deviceX
: 表示导出设备事件和数据缓冲区的字符设备

数据结构
IIO子系统关键对象有两个:设备、通道,以下进一步说明。
设备
设备对应数据结构为:
/**
* struct iio_dev - industrial I/O device
* @id: [INTERN] used to identify device internally
* @modes: [DRIVER] operating modes supported by device
* @currentmode: [DRIVER] current operating mode
* @dev: [DRIVER] device structure, should be assigned a parent
* and owner
* @event_interface: [INTERN] event chrdevs associated with interrupt lines
* @buffer: [DRIVER] any buffer present
* @buffer_list: [INTERN] list of all buffers currently attached
* @scan_bytes: [INTERN] num bytes captured to be fed to buffer demux
* @mlock: [INTERN] lock used to prevent simultaneous device state
* changes
* @available_scan_masks: [DRIVER] optional array of allowed bitmasks
* @masklength: [INTERN] the length of the mask established from
* channels
* @active_scan_mask: [INTERN] union of all scan masks requested by buffers
* @scan_timestamp: [INTERN] set if any buffers have requested timestamp
* @scan_index_timestamp:[INTERN] cache of the index to the timestamp
* @trig: [INTERN] current device trigger (buffer modes)
* @pollfunc: [DRIVER] function run on trigger being received
* @channels: [DRIVER] channel specification structure table
* @num_channels: [DRIVER] number of channels specified in @channels.
* @channel_attr_list: [INTERN] keep track of automatically created channel
* attributes
* @chan_attr_group: [INTERN] group for all attrs in base directory
* @name: [DRIVER] name of the device.
* @info: [DRIVER] callbacks and constant info from driver
* @info_exist_lock: [INTERN] lock to prevent use during removal
* @setup_ops: [DRIVER] callbacks to call before and after buffer
* enable/disable
* @chrdev: [INTERN] associated character device
* @groups: [INTERN] attribute groups
* @groupcounter: [INTERN] index of next attribute group
* @flags: [INTERN] file ops related flags including busy flag.
* @debugfs_dentry: [INTERN] device specific debugfs dentry.
* @cached_reg_addr: [INTERN] cached register address for debugfs reads.
