GSOC 2020 with IIO

GSOC 2020 with IIO

[Rohit Sarkar]

Hey IIO!,
I am interested in working on the IIO subsystem for GSOC.
I have always been keen on writing code for the linux kernel.

Here are the reasons I think I would be a good fit for this task:
- I was part of a Satellite team in my college as a member of the 
Onboard Data Handling Subsystem (ODHS) We worked on various
microcontrollers like MSP430, STM32F2/F4 and sensors: MPU6050, HMC583.
- I have contributed a few small patches to the linux kernel and am
  familiar with the development cycle.[1],[2] and [3] 
- I am currently working on the Eudyptula challenge as a hobby and am
  halfway through it.

I would love to help with any tasks in the subsystem in the meantime.

Thanks,
Rohit

Hello Rohit,

if you are interested to work on the MPU6050 linux driver (drivers/iio/imu/inv_mpu6050), there are still some cleanup work to do there.
I have been doing major reworks lastly on this old driver. It is now much more up to date.

But there are still a few interesting things missing.
I see the following tasks:
* debugfs register read interface
* use of update_scan_mask callback instead of messing directly with iio internals
* use the available callback instead of hardcoded attributes (like for scale available)
* fix for reading/setting calibbias data that should be broken on newer chips
* support of hardware FIFO for newer chips (icm20602/icm20690)

If you are interested, you can send the patches on the list and I will review them.

Thanks,
JB
