Linux Peripheral Features

ADC

analogue to digital converters

Backlight

Enable/read and modify backlight brightness

Camera

Example

CAN Bus

Testing

Connect can0 and can1

<CAN1_D+> connect to <CAN2_D+>

<CAN1_D-> connect to <CAN2_D->

Configure

# ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 125000
# ip link set can1 up type can bitrate 125000

Command

• Test 1

# candump can1 &
# cansend can0 12345678#123412341234

The following shows the result

can1  12345678   [6]  12 34 12 34 12 34

• Test 2

# cansend can0 133#ababdede

The following shows the result

can1       133   [4]  AB AB DE DE

CPU Frequency

Testing

Read cpu frequency

# cpufreq-info  | grep "current CPU frequency"
current CPU frequency is 396 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).
current CPU frequency is 396 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).
current CPU frequency is 396 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).
current CPU frequency is 396 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).

Check available cpu frequency policy

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
conservative ondemand userspace powersave interactive performance

Change frequency policy

# echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

Check cpu frequency

# cpufreq-info  | grep "current CPU frequency"
current CPU frequency is 996 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).
current CPU frequency is 996 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).
current CPU frequency is 996 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).
current CPU frequency is 996 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).

IR

To decode the infrared signals and provide an uniform interface

lircd -d /dev/lirc0

used parameters:

-d --device=device    read from given device
-u --uinput           generate Linux input events

Executes commands on an IR signal decoded by lircd,

irexec -d /devlirc0

Note: if show these message after running lircd

lircd: can't open or create /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid
lircd: No such file or directory

It has to add the "/var/run/lirc" folder

mkdir /var/run/lirc

How to debug:

1. To check that signals are decoded correctly

mode2 -d /dev/lirc0

It repeats to show "space" and "pulse" while clicking a control button

space 8451531
pulse 476

2. To check input events.

First, It must add the parameter,"-u", in lircd command

lircd -d /dev/lirc0 -u

It will register at inputX,

input: lircd as /devices/virtual/input/input1 

Run evtest to check events

evtest -d /dev/input/event1
