Function
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Rotary encoders are devices which are connected to the CPU or other
|
|
peripherals with two wires. The outputs are phase-shifted by 90 degrees
|
|
and by triggering on falling and rising edges, the turn direction can
|
|
be determined.
|
|
|
|
Some encoders have both outputs low in stable states, others also have
|
|
a stable state with both outputs high (half-period mode) and some have
|
|
a stable state in all steps (quarter-period mode).
|
|
|
|
The phase diagram of these two outputs look like this::
|
|
|
|

|
Events / state machine
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
In half-period mode, state a) and c) above are used to determine the
|
|
rotational direction based on the last stable state. Events are reported in
|
|
states b) and d) given that the new stable state is different from the last
|
|
(i.e. the rotation was not reversed half-way).
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, the following apply:
|
|
|
|
a) Rising edge on channel A, channel B in low state
|
|
This state is used to recognize a clockwise turn
|
|
|
|
b) Rising edge on channel B, channel A in high state
|
|
When entering this state, the encoder is put into 'armed' state,
|
|
meaning that there it has seen half the way of a one-step transition.
|
|
|
|
c) Falling edge on channel A, channel B in high state
|
|
This state is used to recognize a counter-clockwise turn
|
|
|
|
d) Falling edge on channel B, channel A in low state
|
|
Parking position. If the encoder enters this state, a full transition
|
|
should have happened, unless it flipped back on half the way. The
|
|
'armed' state tells us about that.
|
|
|
|
Platform requirements
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
As there is no hardware dependent call in this driver, the platform it is
|
|
used with must support gpiolib. Another requirement is that IRQs must be
|
|
able to fire on both edges.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Board integration
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
To use this driver in your system, register a platform_device with the
|
|
name 'rotary-encoder' and associate the IRQs and some specific platform
|
|
data with it. Because the driver uses generic device properties, this can
|
|
be done either via device tree, ACPI, or using static board files, like in
|
|
example below:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
/* board support file example */
|
|
|
|
#include <linux/input.h>
|
|
#include <linux/gpio/machine.h>
|
|
#include <linux/property.h>
|
|
|
|
#define GPIO_ROTARY_A 1
|
|
#define GPIO_ROTARY_B 2
|
|
|
|
static struct gpiod_lookup_table rotary_encoder_gpios = {
|
|
.dev_id = "rotary-encoder.0",
|
|
.table = {
|
|
GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio-0",
|
|
GPIO_ROTARY_A, NULL, 0, GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW),
|
|
GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio-0",
|
|
GPIO_ROTARY_B, NULL, 1, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH),
|
|
{ },
|
|
},
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
static const struct property_entry rotary_encoder_properties[] = {
|
|
PROPERTY_ENTRY_U32("rotary-encoder,steps-per-period", 24),
|
|
PROPERTY_ENTRY_U32("linux,axis", ABS_X),
|
|
PROPERTY_ENTRY_U32("rotary-encoder,relative_axis", 0),
|
|
{ },
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
static const struct software_node rotary_encoder_node = {
|
|
.properties = rotary_encoder_properties,
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
static struct platform_device rotary_encoder_device = {
|
|
.name = "rotary-encoder",
|
|
.id = 0,
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
gpiod_add_lookup_table(&rotary_encoder_gpios);
|
|
device_add_software_node(&rotary_encoder_device.dev, &rotary_encoder_node);
|
|
platform_device_register(&rotary_encoder_device);
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|

|
|
supported by the driver.
