This tutorial will briefly introduce the Linux IIO and Input subsystems to students. The focus of the tutorial will be a guided hands-on lab where the students write a new driver that leverages the IIO and Input kernel subsystems. The lab will be conducted using the E-ALE hardware kit.

For 2018 we will be using the PocketBeagle.

All the Embedded Apprentice Linux Engineer classes will involve using embedded hardware during the hands-on labs. We will be using the PocketBeagle and a BaconBits cape which are included with the $75 USD registration fee for E-ALE at SCaLE16x and ELC. We will only support doing the labs on the official HW kit; please don't bring your own and try to use that. The HW kits will be delivered to the attendee at the first seminar they choose to attend.

The BaconBits is OSHW and available on github

The Techlab cape has the following capabilities:

• USB-to-Serial micro B

• USB Host A

• Reset button

• SPI 2-digit 7-segment display

• I2C accelerometer

• GPIO Push button

• ADC Potentiometer thumbwheel

• PWM Tri-color LED PLLC-6

• Power button
