πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– stm32_adc_single_conv πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β€” yes we're in the big-kid kernel-functions section, iykyk ✨ this one's all about stm32_adc_single_conv(9) and honestly? she's a lil workhorse 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

stm32_adc_single_conv β€” literally performs a single conversion πŸ’… that's it, that's the whole vibe


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int stm32_adc_single_conv (struct iio_dev *indio_dev , const struct
       iio_chan_spec *chan , int *res );

no cap, that's the signature β€” copy it exactly pls, don't get creative πŸ™ˆ


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • indio_dev β€” the IIO device, aka the main character of this whole operation πŸ‘‘
  • chan β€” the IIO channel we're pointing at, like "this one, this is the one" 🎯
  • res β€” where the conversion result lands, the little souvenir from the trip ✨

πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

so the function does a single conversion on a given channel, and the way it goes about it is honestly kind of iconic:

  • Apply sampling time settings ⏱️ (gotta set the timing first, be respectful)
  • Program sequencer with one channel (e.g. in SQ1 with len = 1) β€” just the one, one channel, minimal, very demure ✨
  • Use SW trigger πŸ’… software trigger only, we're not waiting around for hardware
  • Start conversion, then wait for interrupt completion. 🫢 start it, then sit there and wait for that interrupt like you're waiting for a text back 😭

πŸ’€ reminder bestie: this is a kernel manpage, so if you're here you're probably deep in the ADC driver and it's giving "debugging at 2am" energy. stay hydrated πŸ’§

and that's the page!! sign-off time πŸŽ€ this one lives in ./drivers/iio/adc, dated October 2026, and the whole thing is filed under stm32_adc_single_conv(9) β€” slay, go read the other 22 functions now, mwah πŸ«ΆπŸ’–βœ¨
