> Any help would be much appreciated ! You would probably want to look at the drivers in drivers/iio/adc (and the staging drivers in drivers/staging/iio/adc) and take one as an example for your development - maybe on is even sufficiently compatible to your ADS1256, so that you only need to extend the compatibility list.
To activate it instead of the default spi-dev create a device-overlay similar to this one: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/rpi-3.18.y/arch/arm/boot/dts/ads7846-overlay.dts compile it and reference it in /boot/config.txt (here some more info on the overlays: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/device-tree.md) As for how to use those drivers from user-space here an introduction to the iio framework (kernel and user-space): https://archive.fosdem.org/2012/schedule/event/693/127_iio-a-new-subsystem.pdf -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-spi" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
