Hi, Just do a Google on "Sysfs". You will have Wiki pages and pdf s explaining sysfs. Re: the mic thing, I am not sure. Probably it is exposed to user space through Audio HAL but I am no expert on this to comment here :-( On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 10:25 PM, Kanishka Ariyapala wrote: > Thanks Durg

Thanks Durga, Do you know any good reference material for sysfs? so I can get start on it. I am new to device drivers. Also can this be tested on the emulator? because I plan to test it on it first, before moving on to the device. Also can sysfs be used to access the mic as well? I mean to get th

Thanks Kolja, I am a newbie to the device drivers, and will have a look at sysfs. I want to implement this at the kernel space not at the user sapce. First I thought I would test with the emulator and then test it on my android (S I9000). It can be tested on the emulator right? Also can you point

Depending on the driver for the accelerometer. Most act like a input device and will populate events when the acceleration changes. But there are different drivers which simply propagate their current state via sysfs, I have also seen drivers which where pure user space implementation. It basicly d

Hi, I have written a couple of Accelerometer drivers, where the properties are exposed via a Sysfs interface. So, you would want to figure out the sysfs paths and proceed. -Durga On Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at 2:24 PM, DK wrote: > How to access the accelerometer at the kernel level and read its > val

How to access the accelerometer at the kernel level and read its values. For example to identify if the user is standing(stationary) or driving (moving). I think I think will have to deal with device drivers, found this post http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Android_Sensor_PortingGuide but it
