Part Number: ADS7138
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS7828,

Hello,

Is there any information on how to communicate with this chip via Linux? Is there a specific driver written for this chip, or would you use a generic I2C driver?

Thanks

Hello Brett,

You'll find some example drivers for devices in the "HWMON" directory in the linux repositories. ADS7828 is a previous generation I2C device to the ADS7138 and could be used as a starting point.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/hwmon

We're not Linux experts but our limited understanding is that the drivers are basically calling the generic I2C driver calls.
