STRUCT ST_LSM6DSX_SENSOR(9)

✨ struct st_lsm6dsx_sensor(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this is the page for struct st_lsm6dsx_sensor, aka the ST IMU sensor instance. no cap, it’s a whole little vibe.

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct st_lsm6dsx_sensor — ST IMU sensor instance 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here’s the struct in all its exact, character-for-character glory, bestie ✨ don’t let the nesting scare you:

       struct st_lsm6dsx_sensor {
           char name[32];
           enum st_lsm6dsx_sensor_id id;
           struct st_lsm6dsx_hw *hw;
           u32 gain;
           u32 odr;
           u32 hwfifo_odr_mHz;
           u16 samples_to_discard;
           u16 watermark;
           u8 decimator;
           u8 sip;
           s64 ts_ref;
           struct {
             const struct st_lsm6dsx_ext_dev_settings *settings;
             u32 slv_odr;
             u8 addr;
           } ext_info;
        };

🦋 Members 🦋

okay so every member is doing its own main-character thing 👑 here’s the rundown:

• name — sensor name 💅
• id — sensor identifier 🎀
• hw — pointer to instance of struct st_lsm6dsx_hw ✨
• gain — configured sensor sensitivity 🌸
• odr — output data rate of the sensor [mHz] ⭐
• hwfifo_odr_mHz — batch data rate for hardware FIFO [mHz] 🔥
• samples_to_discard — number of samples to discard for filters settling time 🫶
• watermark — sensor watermark level 💧
• decimator — sensor decimation factor 🧚
• sip — number of samples in a given pattern 🌈
• ts_ref — sensor timestamp reference for hw one 💫
• ext_info — sensor settings if it is connected to i2c controller; inside this nested struct you’ll find settings, slv_odr, and addr, exactly as shown above 💜
