You will have to -instantiate the devices explicitly. - -Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4245 at address 0x23 -on I2C bus #1: -$ modprobe ltc4245 -$ echo ltc4245 0x23 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device - - -Sysfs entries -------------- - -The LTC4245 has built-in limits for over and under current warnings. This -makes it very likely that the reference circuit will be used. - -This driver uses the values in the datasheet to change the register values -into the values specified in the sysfs-interface document. The current readings -rely on the sense resistors listed in Table 2: "Sense Resistor Values". - -in1_input 12v input voltage (mV) -in2_input 5v input voltage (mV) -in3_input 3v input voltage (mV) -in4_input Vee (-12v) input voltage (mV) - -in1_min_alarm 12v input undervoltage alarm -in2_min_alarm 5v input undervoltage alarm -in3_min_alarm 3v input undervoltage alarm -in4_min_alarm Vee (-12v) input undervoltage alarm - -curr1_input 12v current (mA) -curr2_input 5v current (mA) -curr3_input 3v current (mA) -curr4_input Vee (-12v) current (mA) - -curr1_max_alarm 12v overcurrent alarm -curr2_max_alarm 5v overcurrent alarm -curr3_max_alarm 3v overcurrent alarm -curr4_max_alarm Vee (-12v) overcurrent alarm - -in5_input 12v output voltage (mV) -in6_input 5v output voltage (mV) -in7_input 3v output voltage (mV) -in8_input Vee (-12v) output voltage (mV) - -in5_min_alarm 12v output undervoltage alarm -in6_min_alarm 5v output undervoltage alarm -in7_min_alarm 3v output undervoltage alarm -in8_min_alarm Vee (-12v) output undervoltage alarm - -in9_input GPIO voltage data (see note 1) -in10_input GPIO voltage data (see note 1) -in11_input GPIO voltage data (see note 1) - -power1_input 12v power usage (mW) -power2_input 5v power usage (mW) -power3_input 3v power usage (mW) -power4_input Vee (-12v) power usage (mW) - - -Note 1 ------- - -If you have NOT configured the driver to sample all GPIO pins as analog -voltages, then the in10_input and in11_input sysfs attributes will not be -created. The driver will sample the GPIO pin that is currently connected to the -ADC as an analog voltage, and report the value in in9_input. - -If you have configured the driver to sample all GPIO pins as analog voltages, -then they will be sampled in round-robin fashion. If userspace reads too -slowly, -EAGAIN will be returned when you read the sysfs attribute containing -the sensor reading. - -The LTC4245 chip can be configured to sample all GPIO pins with two methods: -1) platform data -- see include/linux/platform_data/ltc4245.h -2) OF device tree -- add the "ltc4245,use-extra-gpios" property to each chip - -The default mode of operation is to sample a single GPIO pin. |
