Introduction

AS1531 is a 12bits 8 channels Analog to Digital Converter made by Austriamicrosystem. Its use a SPI bus to communicate with a master microprocessor. A driver is included in the Armadeus BSP/SDK and can be used on the APF51Dev board.

Connecting chip on APF boards

  • On the APF51Dev, the AS1531 is connected to the SPI1 bus by default, so you can move to next chapter.
  • On the APF27Dev board it can be soldered on SPI3 bus, which is available on connector J8.
Soldering schema for SPI3 APF27-dev
J8 pin AS1531 pin
SD1_D0_SPI3_MISO DOUT
SD1_D3_SPI3_SS CSN
SD1_CMD_SPI3_MOSI DIN
SP1_CLK_SPI3_SCLK SCLK

Driver

  • Driver is by default included if you choose an APF51 as target.
  • Otherwise, you can select it that way:
$ make linux-menuconfig

Device Drivers  --->
    <M> Hardware Monitoring support  --->
        <M>   Austria Microsystems AS1531 Analog to Digital Converter
  • Then rebuild the Linux and rootfs images:
$ make linux && make

Use it

Warning Warning: AS1531 is used with internal reference voltage of 2,5V, so DO NOT TRY to acquire signals with greater voltage range.


Load driver

To use the AS1531, first load as1531 module: 

# modprobe as1531

Read channels value

# cd /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi0.0/
# ls
driver     in1_input  in4_input  in7_input  modalias   subsystem
hwmon      in2_input  in5_input  in_max     name       uevent
in0_input  in3_input  in6_input  in_min     power

or: 

# cd /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/
# ls
driver     in1_input  in4_input  in7_input  modalias   subsystem
hwmon      in2_input  in5_input  in_max     name       uevent
in0_input  in3_input  in6_input  in_min     power

To read adc value just «cat» an input : 

# cat in5_input
887

All values read are in milivolts.

Examples

  • Script to read all values each 500ms and display them on console:
#!/bin/sh

modprobe as1531

loop=1
while [ "$loop" == 1 ]; do
        for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do
                value=`cat /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi0.0/in"$i"_input`
                echo -n "$value  "
        done
        usleep 500000   # 500ms
        echo
done
