GSoC 2018: IIO driver project

Main GSoC Linux Foundation page: How to apply, deadlines, other workgroups, ...

Proposal

The main purpose of the Industrial I/O subsystem (IIO) is to provide support for devices that in some sense perform either analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) or digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) or both. Devices that fall into this category include: ADCs, DACs, accelerometers, gyroscopes, color and light sensors, pressure sensors, magnetometers, VOC sensors, etc.

The goal of this project is to write a driver for Bosch BME680 temperature, barometric, pressure and VOC gas sensor using the IIO interface. The project is split in the following subtasks:

Desired knowledge:

The accepted student will work on writing the driver for the proposed sensor. In the application form please let me know your plan on how to test your code.

Hints:

Code license: GPL

The project is considered successful if the code is accepted into Linux kernel IIO maintainer's tree.

Where to start?

Have a look at the https://kernelnewbies.org/IIO_tasks page. The IIO tasks are part of your application process, try to solve as many as you can.
