Then here the attribute name will be: /events/in_activity_state_change_walking_rising_en or if we call the event type "transition" this will be: /events/in_activity_transition_walking_rising_en I am a little bit confused :). > > /events/in_activity_walking_falling_en will do the leaving case. > > Note these are just some quick initial thoughts on alternative methods. > I'll want to think on this more and get responses from more interested > parties! > >> What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/trigger/current_trigger >> KernelVersion: 2.6.35 >> Contact: linux-iio@vger.kernel.org >> diff --git a/drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c b/drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c >> index 67e8561..e453ef9 100644 >> --- a/drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c >> +++ b/drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c >> @@ -92,6 +92,10 @@ static const char * const iio_modifier_names[] = { >> [IIO_MOD_NORTH_TRUE] = "from_north_true", >> [IIO_MOD_NORTH_MAGN_TILT_COMP] = "from_north_magnetic_tilt_comp", >> [IIO_MOD_NORTH_TRUE_TILT_COMP] = "from_north_true_tilt_comp", >> + [IIO_MOD_RUNNING] = "running", >> + [IIO_MOD_JOGGING] = "jogging", >> + [IIO_MOD_WALKING] = "walking", >> + [IIO_MOD_STILL] = "still", >> }; >> >> /* relies on pairs of these shared then separate */ >> diff --git a/drivers/iio/industrialio-event.c b/drivers/iio/industrialio-event.c >> index 0c1e37e..eca5af2 100644 >> --- a/drivers/iio/industrialio-event.c >> +++ b/drivers/iio/industrialio-event.c >> @@ -197,6 +197,7 @@ static const char * const iio_ev_type_text[] = { >> [IIO_EV_TYPE_ROC] = "roc", >> [IIO_EV_TYPE_THRESH_ADAPTIVE] = "thresh_adaptive", >> [IIO_EV_TYPE_MAG_ADAPTIVE] = "mag_adaptive", >> + [IIO_EV_TYPE_MOTION] = "motion", >> }; >> >> static const char * const iio_ev_dir_text[] = { >> diff --git a/include/linux/iio/types.h b/include/linux/iio/types.h >> index d58769a..003638d 100644 >> --- a/include/linux/iio/types.h >> +++ b/include/linux/iio/types.h >> @@ -60,7 +60,11 @@ enum iio_modifier { >> IIO_MOD_NORTH_MAGN, >> IIO_MOD_NORTH_TRUE, >> IIO_MOD_NORTH_MAGN_TILT_COMP, >> - IIO_MOD_NORTH_TRUE_TILT_COMP >> + IIO_MOD_NORTH_TRUE_TILT_COMP, >> + IIO_MOD_RUNNING, >> + IIO_MOD_JOGGING, >> + IIO_MOD_WALKING, >> + IIO_MOD_STILL, >> }; >> >> enum iio_event_type { >> @@ -69,6 +73,7 @@ enum iio_event_type { >> IIO_EV_TYPE_ROC, >> IIO_EV_TYPE_THRESH_ADAPTIVE, >> IIO_EV_TYPE_MAG_ADAPTIVE, >> + IIO_EV_TYPE_MOTION, >> }; >> >> enum iio_event_info { >> > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
