ADC Use
Introduction
There’s a SAR ADC (Successive Approximation Register Analog Digital Converter) in Firefly-RK3128 development, with three 10 bits channels (0/1/2):
- ADCIN0: exported in the extension board
- ADCIN1: use as Recovery key detection internally
- ADCIN2: exported in the extension board
This article will introduce how to configure the ADC to work properly.
Configure the DTS Node
The DTS device node of the ADC is already defined in file kernel/arch/arm/boot/dts/rk312x.dtsi:
adc: adc@2006c000 {
compatible = "rockchip,saradc";
reg = <0x2006c000 0x100>;
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 17 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
#io-channel-cells = <1>;
io-channel-ranges;
rockchip,adc-vref = <1800>;
clock-frequency = <1000000>;
clocks = <&clk_saradc>, <&clk_gates7 14>;
clock-names = "saradc", "pclk_saradc";
status = "disabled";
};
You need to add a new node to rk3128-fireprime.dts, with status set to “okay”:
&adc {
status = "okay";
adc_test {status = "okay";
compatible = "rk-adc-test";
io-channels = <&adc 0>;
};
New test node adc_test is added above, for later use of the test code below. Source code of ADC driver is drivers/iio/adc/rockchip_adc.c
Get the ADC channel
struct iio_channel *chan;chan = iio_channel_get(&pdev->dev, "adc0");
adc0 is the channel name, which is defined in rockchip_adc.c:
static const struct iio_chan_spec rk_adc_iio_channels[] = {ADC_CHANNEL(0, "adc0"),ADC_CHANNEL(1, "adc1"),ADC_CHANNEL(2, "adc2"),ADC_CHANNEL(6, "adc6"),};
Read the raw data acquisited by AD
int val, ret;ret = iio_read_channel_raw(chan, &val);
Call iio_read_channel_raw to read the raw data from the channel and store the result in val parameter.
Calculate the voltage acquisited
Use the standard voltage to convert the raw data to the result voltage. The equation is shown as below:
Vref / (2^n-1) = Vresult / raw
Note:
- Vref is the standard voltage
- n is the AD conversion accuracy, such as 10 bits or 12 bits.
- Vresult is the conversion result of the voltage.
- raw is the raw data read from function iio_read_channel_raw.
For example, the standard voltage is 1.8V, n is 10 bits, raw data is 568. The conversion expression is:
Vresult = (1800mv * 568) / 1023;

if (ret < 0) {
count += sprintf(&buf[count], "read channel() error: %d\n", ret);
}

{

goto err;
}

return -1;
}
static int rk_adc_test_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) {
device_remove_file(&pdev->dev, &measure_attr);
iio_channel_release(adc_test_channel);
adc_test_channel = NULL;return 0;
}
static const struct of_device_id rk_adc_test_match[] = {
{ .compatible = "rk-adc-test" },
{},
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, rk_adc_test_match);
static struct platform_driver rk_adc_test_driver = {
.probe = rk_adc_test_probe,
.remove = rk_adc_test_remove,
.driver = {
.name = "rk-adc-test",
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.of_match_table = rk_adc_test_match,
}
};
module_platform_driver(rk_adc_test_driver);
Save the source code above as drivers/iio/adc/rockchip-adc-test.c , and append the following line to drivers/iio/adc/Makefile :
obj-$(CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_ADC) += rk_adc_test.o
Compile and flash the kernel.img and resource.img. When the board boots, enter the following command to read the ADC0 channel value:
while true; do cat /sys/devices/2006c000.adc/adc_test.*/measure; sleep 1; done
Note that, this demo uses iio_channel_get_all instead of use iio_channel_get to get ADC channel. It reads the channel list declared by io-channels property, and take the first one:
struct iio_channel *channels;channels = iio_channel_get_all(&pdev->dev);
if (IS_ERR(channels)) {
pr_err("get adc channels fails\n");
goto err;
}
adc_test_channel = &channels[0];
