My search for a prospective device has culminated to consider ADXRS290 Gyroscope. About ADXRS290: - Ultra-low Noise, Dual-Axis (Pitch and Roll) MEMS Gyroscope - "Recommended for New Designs" phase - SPI digital output - Datasheet in [2] - Product overview in [3] The existence of any compatible drivers for the above component was looked for in Analog Device, Inc.'s page that lists all drivers [4] and their kernel tree [5] and the Linux Kernel Driver database (LKDDb). It was found to be void and ergo my decision to choose the aforementioned component. Is there any other factor I should consider before choosing a component to make a driver for? Do I go ahead with ADXRS290 gyroscope in my proposal? If yes, are there any recommendations/suggestions you'd like to provide for a beginner indulging in making a kernel driver for such a component? Thank you for your time.
