They are already registered as IIO_TEMP but only implement read_raw. Also, iio_hwmon_read_val() is using iio_read_channel_processed() and that will basically only read one of the 2 channels. As I documented, you actually need to read both channel 8 and channel 9 and then compute the value in Kelvins. I'm not sure how you want me to do that in the current framework.What are these two channels actually measuring? Is the value of a single channel meaningful on it's own? If not it might make sense to update the IIO driver to just have one temperature channel.It's not actually meaningful on its own. So, what you would do is expose one iio channel for two ADC channels and do the computation in read_raw ? or read_processed ? Then using iio-hwon to export it. ? Regards,Yes, return channel9 - channel8 as the raw value for the temperature channel and provide proper scale and offset values, so that iio_read_channel_processed() will return the correct value.
Agreed. Guenter
