USB accelerometer interfacing to beagleboard running Android

krishna mippas

Hi everyone,

I am working on android gingerbread.I followed the procedure given at http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-GingerBread-2.3-DevKit-1.0_DeveloperGuide to port android on my beagleboard and succeed.Now I want to interface a usb based accelerometer(ek302dl) to my beagleboard.I have included the driver(CDC ACM) for the usb module in the kernel and the device got detected as ttyACM0 in the kernel level.Now how to communicate with this device from the user level ??

For more details about the module please refer to the attached document.

TI Android DevKit currently supports the on-board accelerometer on AM335xevm and Am37x Flashboard.

You can know more about the accelerometer integration in our porting guide at: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-GingerBread-2.3.4-DevKit-2.1_PortingGuides#Accelerometer

hi Vishveshwar,

I have already gone through the procedure you have mentioned.But in my case the issue is different.I just want to write some input commands to that ttyACM module(external usb acceleromter) to get the data from the device, just like we do serial communication using minicom/hyperterminal in linux/windows.Similarly is there any way to do it in android??

regards,

krishna.
