ADS131EXX driver for the BeagleBone Black

PRU driver for the ADS131EXX ADC/AFE IC from Texas Instrument

Includes:

• PRU SPI driver driver (spi.inc) that can be used independently (follow steps 1 and 2 below)
• Main definitions of the ADS131EXX IC (ads131_defs.inc)
• Driver for the ADS131E08 (8 channels version of the IC, ads131e08.inc)

Use

1. Define SPI_SCLK, SPI_MOSI, SPI_MISO, and SPI_CS pins. For instance,

  SPI_SCLK      .set  5       ; PRU1_5 GPIO2_11 P8_42
  SPI_MOSI      .set  0       ; PRU1_0 GPIO2_6  P8_45
  SPI_MISO      .set  3       ; PRU1_3 GPIO2_9  P8_44
  SPI_CS        .set  7       ; PRU1_7 GPIO2_13 P8_40

2. Define SPI_SCLK_DELAY to set the SPI clock frequency using the formula SPI_SCLK_DELAY = floor( (t_SCLK / 5 ns) / 4 ) and SPI_SCLK_DELAY >= 3, where t_SCLK is the SPI clock period. For instance,

  SPI_SCLK_DELAY  .set  9

3. Define ADS_START, ADS_RESET, and ADS_DRDY pins. For instance,

  ADS_START     .set  4       ; PRU1_4 GPIO2_10 P8_41
  ADS_RESET     .set  2       ; PRU1_2 GPIO2_8  P8_43
  ADS_DRDY      .set  1       ; PRU1_1 GPIO2_7  P8_46

4. Include the ads131e08.inc:

  .include "ads131e08.inc"
