But that's an interesting (and important) limitation to raise. Wouldn't be more of a hack to have two IIO devices representing the actual same IP? > For now you could elect to support the different sampling frequencies > if you wanted to but just providing controls for each channel. > I guess that you're offering to use IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ in info_mask_separate for each channel? > Given the driver doesn't currently expose these at all (I think) > this is all rather immaterial ;) I'm not giving the user the option to chose the sampling frequency for now. I have no plans to do it either, but I think it would be rather simple to later add support for setting frequency sampling since we only need to add a sysfs entry (with IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ) that does not exist yet. Don't you think? Am I missing something? Thanks, Quentin -- Quentin Schulz, Free Electrons Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering http://free-electrons.com
