AD525x Digital Potentiometers |
|
============================= |
|
|
|
The ad525x_dpot driver exports a simple sysfs interface. This allows you to |
|
work with the immediate resistance settings as well as update the saved startup |
|
settings. Access to the factory programmed tolerance is also provided, but |
|
interpretation of this settings is required by the end application according to |
|
the specific part in use. |
|
|
|
Files |
|
===== |
|
|
|
Each dpot device will have a set of eeprom, rdac, and tolerance files. How |
|
many depends on the actual part you have, as will the range of allowed values. |
|
|
|
The eeprom files are used to program the startup value of the device. |
|
|
|
The rdac files are used to program the immediate value of the device. |
|
|
|
The tolerance files are the read-only factory programmed tolerance settings |
|
and may vary greatly on a part-by-part basis. For exact interpretation of |
|
this field, please consult the datasheet for your part. This is presented |
|
as a hex file for easier parsing. |
|
|
|
Example |
|
======= |
|
|
|
Locate the device in your sysfs tree. This is probably easiest by going into |
|
the common i2c directory and locating the device by the i2c slave address:: |
|
|
|
# ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/ |
|
0-0022 0-0027 0-002f |
|
|
|
So assuming the device in question is on the first i2c bus and has the slave |
|
address of 0x2f, we descend (unrelated sysfs entries have been trimmed):: |
|
|
|
# ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-002f/ |
|
eeprom0 rdac0 tolerance0 |
|
|
|
You can use simple reads/writes to access these files:: |
|
|
|
# cd /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-002f/ |
|
|
|
# cat eeprom0 |
|
0 |
|
# echo 10 > eeprom0 |
|
# cat eeprom0 |
|
10 |
|
|
|
# cat rdac0 |
|
5 |
|
# echo 3 > rdac0 |
|
# cat rdac0 |
|
3
