Description:
Devices that support write zeroes operation in which a
single request can be issued to zero out the range of
contiguous blocks on storage without having any payload
in the request. This can be used to optimize writing zeroes
to the devices. write_zeroes_max_bytes indicates how many

by the device.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/zoned
Date: September 2016
Contact: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@hgst.com>
Description:
zoned indicates if the device is a zoned block device
and the zone model of the device if it is indeed zoned.
The possible values indicated by zoned are "none" for
regular block devices and "host-aware" or "host-managed"
for zoned block devices. The characteristics of
host-aware and host-managed zoned block devices are
described in the ZBC (Zoned Block Commands) and ZAC
(Zoned Device ATA Command Set) standards. These standards
also define the "drive-managed" zone model. However,
since drive-managed zoned block devices do not support
zone commands, they will be treated as regular block
devices and zoned will report "none".
What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/chunk_sectors
Date: September 2016
Contact: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.com>
Description:
chunk_sectors has different meaning depending on the type
of the disk. For a RAID device (dm-raid), chunk_sectors
indicates the size in 512B sectors of the RAID volume
stripe segment. For a zoned block device, either
host-aware or host-managed, chunk_sectors indicates the
size of 512B sectors of the zones of the device, with
the eventual exception of the last zone of the device
which may be smaller.

What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/in_altvoltageY_invert
Date: October 2016
KernelVersion: 4.9
Contact: Peter Rosin <peda@axentia.se>
Description:
The DAC is used to find the peak level of an alternating
voltage input signal by a binary search using the output
of a comparator wired to an interrupt pin. Like so:
_
| \
input +------>-------|+ \
| \
.-------. | }---.
| | | / |
| dac|-->--|- / |
| | |_/ |
| | |
| | |
| irq|------<-------'
| |
'-------'
The boolean invert attribute (0/1) should be set when the
input signal is centered around the maximum value of the
dac instead of zero. The envelope detector will search
from below in this case and will also invert the result.
The edge/level of the interrupt is also switched to its
opposite value.

Read-only attribute that indicates whether the counter for

What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/in_countY_count_mode
KernelVersion: 4.9
Contact: linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Count mode for channel Y. Four count modes are available:
normal, range limit, non-recycle, and modulo-n. The preset value
for channel Y is used by the count mode where required.
Normal:
Counting is continuous in either direction.
Range Limit:
An upper or lower limit is set, mimicking limit switches
in the mechanical counterpart. The upper limit is set to
the preset value, while the lower limit is set to 0. The
counter freezes at count = preset when counting up, and
at count = 0 when counting down. At either of these
limits, the counting is resumed only when the count
direction is reversed.
Non-recycle:
Counter is disabled whenever a 24-bit count overflow or
underflow takes place. The counter is re-enabled when a
new count value is loaded to the counter via a preset
operation or write to raw.
Modulo-N:
A count boundary is set between 0 and the preset value.
The counter is reset to 0 at count = preset when
counting up, while the counter is set to the preset

not freeze at the bundary points, but counts
continuously throughout.

Description:
Read-only attribute that indicates whether excessive noise is
present at the channel Y count inputs in quadrature clock mode;
irrelevant in non-quadrature clock mode.

Description:

What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/in_countY_quadrature_mode
KernelVersion: 4.9
Contact: linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Configure channel Y counter for non-quadrature or quadrature
clock mode. Selecting non-quadrature clock mode will disable
synchronous load mode. In quadrature clock mode, the channel Y
scale attribute selects the encoder phase division (scale of 1
selects full-cycle, scale of 0.5 selects half-cycle, scale of
0.25 selects quarter-cycle) processed by the channel Y counter.
Non-quadrature:
The filter and decoder circuit are bypassed. Encoder A
input serves as the count input and B as the UP/DOWN
direction control input, with B = 1 selecting UP Count
mode and B = 0 selecting Down Count mode.
Quadrature:
Encoder A and B inputs are digitally filtered and
decoded for UP/DN clock.

What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/in_indexY_index_polarity
KernelVersion: 4.9
Contact: linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Active level of channel Y index input; irrelevant in
non-synchronous load mode.
What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/in_indexY_synchronous_mode
KernelVersion: 4.9
Contact: linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Configure channel Y counter for non-synchronous or synchronous
load mode. Synchronous load mode cannot be selected in
non-quadrature clock mode.
Non-synchronous:
A logic low level is the active level at this index
input. The index function (as enabled via
set_to_preset_on_index) is performed directly on the
active level of the index input.
Synchronous:
Intended for interfacing with encoder Index output in
quadrature clock mode. The active level is configured
via index_polarity. The index function (as enabled via
set_to_preset_on_index) is performed synchronously with
the quadrature clock on the active level of the index
input.

Description:
From ISL29018 Data Sheet (FN6619.4, Oct 8, 2012) regarding the
infrared suppression:
Scheme 0, makes full n (4, 8, 12, 16) bits (unsigned) proximity
detection. The range of Scheme 0 proximity count is from 0 to
2^n. Logic 1 of this bit, Scheme 1, makes n-1 (3, 7, 11, 15)
bits (2's complementary) proximity_less_ambient detection. The
range of Scheme 1 proximity count is from -2^(n-1) to 2^(n-1).
The sign bit is extended for resolutions less than 16. While
Scheme 0 has wider dynamic range, Scheme 1 proximity detection
is less affected by the ambient IR noise variation.
0 Sensing IR from LED and ambient
1 Sensing IR from LED with ambient IR rejection

Description: Remote processor state
Reports the state of the remote processor, which will be one of:
"offline"
"suspended"
"running"
"crashed"
"invalid"
"offline" means the remote processor is powered off.
"suspended" means that the remote processor is suspended and
must be woken to receive messages.
"running" is the normal state of an available remote processor
"crashed" indicates that a problem/crash has been detected on
the remote processor.
"invalid" is returned if the remote processor is in an
unknown state.
Writing this file controls the state of the remote processor.
The following states can be written:
"start"
"stop"
Writing "start" will attempt to start the processor running the
firmware indicated by, or written to,
/sys/class/remoteproc/.../firmware. The remote processor should
transition to "running" state.
Writing "stop" will attempt to halt the remote processor and
return it to the "offline" state.
