Problem creating buffer for ADIS16475 using libiio

Category: Software
Product Number: ADIS16475
Software Version: Libiio version 0.25

I'm trying to create a buffer using the "iio_device_create_buffer", but this either gives a EINVAL error when I'm trying to create a non-cyclic buffer or a EPERM error when I'm trying to create a cyclic buffer.

Maybe it has something to do with the triggers not properly working because `iio_info` gives the folowing output:

iio_info version: 0.25 (git tag:v0.25)

and also `$cat /proc/interrupts` shows no interrupt happening:

I'm not sure where to look further to fix this problem, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

Thank you for providing detailed information regarding your challenges while working with the ADIS16475 and libido. Based on your message, let me recommend some initial steps to debug. 

Based on the symptoms you've described, there are a few key areas to investigate to resolve the issues with buffer creation and the apparent absence of interrupts. Here are the steps I recommend taking to troubleshoot and hopefully resolve the problems:

  • The errors related to trigger configuration (EPERM for cyclic buffers and "ERROR: checking for trigger: Input/output error (5)") indicate that the device might not be correctly configured with a trigger. Triggers are essential for controlling when data acquisition starts and stops, especially for cyclic buffers.
  • Verify that a trigger is correctly associated with your device. This may involve setting a system or software trigger and ensuring the ADIS16475 correctly recognizes it.
  • Since/proc/interrupts do not show any interrupts for the device, verifying the physical connections, especially the interrupt line between the ADIS16475 and your system, is crucial. Ensure the interrupt line is correctly wired and configured to generate hardware interrupts.
  • Ensure your system's kernel is configured to support the necessary features, such as GPIO interrupts, required for your device to function correctly.
  • Thank you very much! I realized that indeed the trigger was not properly configured I needed to set it to `adis16475-2-dev0` before creating the buffer. I do have a new problem where if I run the sensor on around 10Hz or higher it stops giving values after a couple of seconds with just all values being 0.

  • Never mind, I see that that was a problem with my maximum configured spi frequency
