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 |
