2012-11-20iio: Add pressure channel typeLars-Peter Clausen
This patch adds support for a new IIO channel type for pressure measurements. This can for example be used for barometric pressure sensors. Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@kernel.org>
2012-10-19iio: Add a logarithmic fractional value typeLars-Peter Clausen
For ADCs or DACs the denominator for fractional types often is a power of two. In this case we can use a shift operation instead of the rather expensive 64 bit division. This patch adds a new fractional type which expects the denominator to be specified as the log2 of the actual denominator. E.g. for ADCs and DACs this will usually be the number of significant bits.

2012-09-15iio: Introduce a new fractional value typeLars-Peter Clausen
Currently IIO uses a decimal fixed point representations for real type numbers. This patch introduces a new representation for rational type numbers. The number will be expressed by specifying a numerator and denominator. For converting a raw value to a processed value multiply it by the numerator and divide it by the denominator. The reasoning for introducing this new type is that for a lot of devices the scale can be represented easily by a fractional number, but it is not possible to represent it as fixed point number without rounding. E.g. for a simple DAC the scale is often the reference voltage divided by the number of possible values (Usually 2**n_bits - 1). Each driver currently implements the conversion of this fraction to a fixed point number on its own. Also when it comes to the in-kernel interface this allows to directly use the fractional factors to convert a raw value to a processed value. This should on one hand require less instructions and on the other hand increase the precision. Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@kernel.org>
2012-07-10IIO channel type and modifiers for CCT and RGBC dataJon Brenner
Add iio channel type and modifiers for Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) and RGBC (red/green/blue/clear) data. Add CCT and RGBC descriptions to documentation. Changes: Revised/condensed RGBC descriptions. Merge and trivial fix done by Jonathan Cameron. Signed-off-by: Jon Brenner <jbrenner@taosinc.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@kernel.org>
2012-06-30IIO: Add a modifier for x^2+y^2+z^2Jonathan Cameron
There will probably be a number of such modifiers eventually but this one is used in the adis16240 accelerometer driver. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@kernel.org>
2012-06-30IIO: Add a modifier for sqrt(x^2+y^2)Jonathan Cameron
There will probably be a number of such modifiers eventually but this one is used in the adis16204 accelerometer driver. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@kernel.org>
