SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================== +BNO055 driver +============================== + +1. Overview +=========== + +This driver supports Bosch BNO055 IMUs (on both serial and I2C busses). + +Accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope measures are always provided. +When "fusion_enable" sysfs attribute is set to 1, orientation (both Euler +angles and quaternion), linear velocity and gravity vector are also +provided, but some sensor settings (e.g. low pass filtering and range) +became locked (the IMU firmware controls them). + +This driver supports also IIO buffers. + +2. Calibration +============== + +The IMU continuously performs an autocalibration procedure if (and only if) +operating in fusion mode. The magnetometer autocalibration can however be +disabled writing 0 in the sysfs in_magn_calibration_fast_enable attribute. + +The driver provides access to autocalibration flags (i.e. you can known if +the IMU has successfully autocalibrated) and to the calibration data blob. + +The user can save this blob in a firmware file (i.e. in /lib/firmware) that +the driver looks for at probe time. If found, then the IMU is initialized +with this calibration data. This saves the user from performing the +calibration procedure every time (which consist of moving the IMU in +various way). + +The driver looks for calibration data file using two different names: first +a file whose name is suffixed with the IMU unique ID (exposed in sysfs as +serial_number) is searched for; this is useful when there is more than one +IMU instance. If this file is not found, then a "generic" calibration file +is searched for (which can be used when only one IMU is present, without +struggling with fancy names, that change on each device). + +Valid calibration file names would be e.g. + bno055-caldata-0e7c26a33541515120204a35342b04ff.dat + bno055-caldata.dat + +In non-fusion mode the IIO 'offset' attributes provide access to the +offsets from calibration data (if any), so that the user can apply them to +the accel, angvel and magn IIO attributes. In fusion mode they are not +needed (the IMU firmware internally applies those corrections) and they +read as zero. -- cgit v1.2.3
