TS-TPC-7990 Accelerometer replacement
From embeddedTS Manuals
The revision D and below boards included the NXP MMA8451 3-axis accelerometer, but due to an EOL this is being replaced on the REV E and above PCBs. Instead new boards will include:
- ST Microelectronics ISM330DLCTR 6-axis sensor (Accelerometer/Gyroscope)
- ST Microelectronics IIS2MDCTR 3-axis Magnetoresistive sensor
On the LTS kernel 5.10 this is supported as of tag v5.10.170.6-ts. A user who cloned/modified a previous 5.10 could merge this in with:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/embeddedTS/linux-lts.git
git fetch upstream
# Run "git checkout name-of-your-modified-branch" if it is not already selected
git merge v5.10.170.6-ts
git push
On the NXP forked 4.9.x kernel this is added with these 6 patches:
- 29df72386f264d569397fbe12ab0f192858dff6b - st-mems-linux: Imported STM MEMS IIO drivers
A user who cloned/modified a previous 4.9 could merge this in with:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/embeddedTS/linux-tsimx.git
git fetch upstream
# Run "git checkout name-of-your-modified-branch" if it is not already selected
git merge upstream/ts-imx_4.9.11_1.0.0_ga
