The DAC max5821L can be controlled from the user space by using the setDAC function
The Linux kernel configuration must enable the necessary I2C drivers (modules):
- -> I2C support
- -> I2C support -> I2C device interface
- -> I2C support -> I2C Hardware Bus support -> I2C bus on i.MX
You must enable the max5821ctrl package into your buildroot configuration:
Board support Options->Board support for the Armadeus development boards->armadeus packages
If you are using modules instead linux drivers, you can check if the modules are loaded with:
# lsmod i2c_imx 4008 0 i2c_dev 5024 0 i2c_core 11472 2 i2c_imx,i2c_dev
to set the DAC use the setDAC command:
# setDAC ##Usage: setDAC OUTPUT [VALUE] power down or set DAC output with value 0 - 1023 OUTPUT is A , B or AB (both) VALUE must be 0 - 1023 If no VALUE is given, then the output is powered down ##
Do not forget to connect a voltage reference for the DAC
