Hi,

I simply added

&tscadc {
    status = "okay";
};

&am335x_adc {
    ti,adc-channels = <0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7>;
};

to the end of am335x-boneblack.dts.

Subject: Re: Reading from ADC hangs

Hi Matti,
Would you please provide details on which dts entries (or maybe a link to the 
entire dts file!) you're specifying in order to get ADC working with 3.18?
Thanks!

How come in my system, there is no /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0?Under

Thx.

Hi,
You need to enable the ADC either by enabling the correct "cape" with capemgr 
(only in kernel 3.8.*, see e.g. 
http://hipstercircuits.com/reading-analog-adc-values-on-beaglebone-black/), or 
by enabling it in the .dts-file (later kernels, such as the 3.18.4 which I'm 
using).

sampling rates. However, I did find a way to read ADC through IIO so that it 
doesn't hang.

First set up the channels and the buffer through sysfs:

echo 1 > /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/scan_elements/in_voltage0_en
echo 256 > /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/buffer/length
echo 1 >  /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/buffer/enable

and then read from /dev/iio:device0. This way I can achieve about 8 kHz 
sampling rate with a single channel, 4 kHz with two channels and down to ~300 
Hz with all eight channels.
