[PATCH RFC v4 09/10] Documentation: ABI: testing: add docs for ad9910 sysfs entries

From: Rodrigo Alencar via B4 Relay

Date: Fri May 08 2026 - 13:01:00 EST


From: Rodrigo Alencar <rodrigo.alencar@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add custom ABI documentation file for the DDS AD9910 with sysfs entries to
control Parallel Port, Digital Ramp Generator and OSK parameters.

+What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/out_altvoltageY_frequency_offset
+KernelVersion:
+Contact: linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Description:
+ For a channel that allows frequency control through buffers, this
+ represents the base frequency value in Hz. The actual output frequency
+ is a result with the sum of this value.
+
+What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/out_altvoltageY_frequency_scale
+KernelVersion:
+Contact: linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Description:
+ For a channel that allows frequency control through buffers, this
+ represents the frequency modulation gain. This value multiplies the
+ buffer input sample value before it is added to a frequency offset.
+
+What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/out_altvoltageY_phase_offset
+KernelVersion:
+Contact: linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Description:
+ For a channel that allows phase control through buffers, this
+ represents the base phase value in radians. The actual output phase
+ is a result with the sum of this value.
+
+What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/out_altvoltageY_scale_offset
+KernelVersion:
+Contact: linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Description:
+ For a channel that allows amplitude control through buffers, this
+ represents the value for a base amplitude scale. The actual output
+ amplitude scale is a result with the sum of this value.
+
+What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/out_altvoltageY_dwell_en
+KernelVersion:
+Contact: linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Description:
+ For a channel that produces parametric sweeps, this attribute controls
+ the sweep behavior at the configured limits. It enables dwell mode at a
+ sweep limit when set to 1. Otherwise, the sweep may stop at the initial
+ position or restart from that initial position or continue by reversing
+ its direction.
+
+What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/out_altvoltageY_frequency_roc
+KernelVersion:
+Contact: linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Description:
+ Frequency rate of change in Hz/s for channels that produce linear
+ frequency sweeps. This value may be influenced by the channel's
+ sampling_frequency setting.
+
+What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/out_altvoltageY_phase_roc
+KernelVersion:
+Contact: linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Description:
+ Phase rate of change in rad/s for channels that produce linear
+ phase sweeps. This value may be influenced by the channel's
+ sampling_frequency setting.
+
+What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/out_altvoltageY_scale_roc
+KernelVersion:
+Contact: linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Description:
+ Amplitude scale rate of change in 1/s for channels that ramp
+ amplitude. This value may be influenced by the channel's
+ sampling_frequency setting.
+
+What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/out_altvoltageY_scale_roc_available
+KernelVersion:
+Contact: linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Description:
+ Lists the available scale_roc values for the channel based on
+ the current sampling_frequency. Values are space-separated in
+ ascending order.
