- Description
- -----------
- APDS990x is a combined ambient light and proximity sensor. ALS and proximity
- functionality are highly connected. ALS measurement path must be running
- while the proximity functionality is enabled.
- ALS produces raw measurement values for two channels: Clear channel
- (infrared + visible light) and IR only. However, threshold comparisons happen
- using clear channel only. Lux value and the threshold level on the HW
- might vary quite much depending the spectrum of the light source.
- Driver makes necessary conversions to both directions so that user handles
- only lux values. Lux value is calculated using information from the both
- channels. HW threshold level is calculated from the given lux value to match
- with current type of the lightning. Sometimes inaccuracy of the estimations
- lead to false interrupt, but that doesn't harm.
- ALS contains 4 different gain steps. Driver automatically
- selects suitable gain step. After each measurement, reliability of the results
- is estimated and new measurement is triggered if necessary.
- Platform data can provide tuned values to the conversion formulas if
- values are known. Otherwise plain sensor default values are used.
- Proximity side is little bit simpler. There is no need for complex conversions.
- It produces directly usable values.
- Driver controls chip operational state using pm_runtime framework.
- Voltage regulators are controlled based on chip operational state.
- SYSFS
- -----
- chip_id
- RO - shows detected chip type and version
- power_state
- RW - enable / disable chip. Uses counting logic
- 1 enables the chip
- 0 disables the chip
- lux0_input
- RO - measured lux value
- sysfs_notify called when threshold interrupt occurs
- lux0_sensor_range
- RO - lux0_input max value. Actually never reaches since sensor tends
- to saturate much before that. Real max value varies depending
- on the light spectrum etc.
- lux0_rate
- RW - measurement rate in Hz
- lux0_rate_avail
- RO - supported measurement rates
- lux0_calibscale
- RW - calibration value. Set to neutral value by default.
- Output results are multiplied with calibscale / calibscale_default
- value.
- lux0_calibscale_default
- RO - neutral calibration value
- lux0_thresh_above_value
- RW - HI level threshold value. All results above the value
- trigs an interrupt. 65535 (i.e. sensor_range) disables the above
- interrupt.
- lux0_thresh_below_value
- RW - LO level threshold value. All results below the value
- trigs an interrupt. 0 disables the below interrupt.
- prox0_raw
- RO - measured proximity value
- sysfs_notify called when threshold interrupt occurs
- prox0_sensor_range
- RO - prox0_raw max value (1023)
- prox0_raw_en
- RW - enable / disable proximity - uses counting logic
- 1 enables the proximity
- 0 disables the proximity
- prox0_reporting_mode
- RW - trigger / periodic. In "trigger" mode the driver tells two possible
- values: 0 or prox0_sensor_range value. 0 means no proximity,
- 1023 means proximity. This causes minimal number of interrupts.
- In "periodic" mode the driver reports all values above
- prox0_thresh_above. This causes more interrupts, but it can give
- _rough_ estimate about the distance.
- prox0_reporting_mode_avail
- RO - accepted values to prox0_reporting_mode (trigger, periodic)
- prox0_thresh_above_value
- RW - threshold level which trigs proximity events.
