3## Overview
4
5### Function
6
7An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a device that converts analog signals into digital signals.
8
9### Basic Concepts
10
11- Resolution
12
13  The number of binary bits that can be converted by an ADC. A greater number of bits indicates a higher resolution.
14
15- Conversion error
16
17  Difference between the actual and theoretical digital values output by an ADC. It is expressed by a multiple of the least significant bit. Generally, the maximum output error is used.
18
19- Transition time
20
21  Time required by an ADC to perform a complete conversion.
22
23
24### Working Principles
25
26In the Hardware Driver Foundation (HDF), the ADC module uses the unified service mode for API adaptation. In this mode, a device service is used as the ADC manager to handle access requests from the devices of the same type in a unified manner. The unified service mode applies to the scenario where there are many device objects of the same type. If the independent service mode is used in this case, more device nodes need to be configured and more memory resources will be consumed. The following figure illustrates the unified service mode of the ADC module.
27
28The ADC module is divided into the following layers:
29
30- Interface layer: provides the capabilities of opening a device, writing data, and closing a device.
31- Core layer: binds services, initializes and releases the PlatformManager, and provides the capabilities of adding, deleting, and obtaining controllers.
32- Adaptation layer: implements hardware-related functions, such as controller initialization.
33
34In the unified service mode, the core layer manages all controllers in a unified manner and publishes a service for the interface layer. That is, the driver does not need to publish a service for each controller.

40## Usage Guidelines
41
42### When to Use
43
44ADC devices are used to convert analog voltage into digital parameters. For example, an ADC can be used with an NTC resistor to measure temperature, or can be used to convert the output of an analog sensor into a digital parameter. Before using ADC devices with OpenHarmony, you need to adapt the ADC driver to OpenHarmony. The following describes how to do it.
45
46### Available APIs
47
48To enable the upper layer to successfully operate the hardware by calling the ADC APIs, hook functions are defined in **//drivers/hdf_core/framework/support/platform/include/adc/adc_core.h** for the core layer. You need to implement these hook functions at the adaptation layer and hook them to implement the interaction between the interface layer and the core layer.
49
50Definitions of **AdcMethod** and **AdcLockMethod**:
51
52```c
53struct AdcMethod {
54    int32_t (*read)(struct AdcDevice *device, uint32_t channel, uint32_t *val);
55    int32_t (*start)(struct AdcDevice *device);
56    int32_t (*stop)(struct AdcDevice *device);
57};
58
59struct AdcLockMethod {
60    int32_t (*lock)(struct AdcDevice *device);
61    void (*unlock)(struct AdcDevice *device);
62};
63
64```
65
66At the adaptation layer, **AdcMethod** must be implemented, and **AdcLockMethod** can be implemented based on service requirements. The core layer provides the default **AdcLockMethod**, in which a spinlock is used to protect the critical section.
67
68```c
69static int32_t AdcDeviceLockDefault(struct AdcDevice *device)
70{
71    if (device == NULL) {
72        return HDF_ERR_INVALID_OBJECT;
73    }
74    return OsalSpinLock(&device->spin);
75}
76
77static void AdcDeviceUnlockDefault(struct AdcDevice *device)
78{
79    if (device == NULL) {
80        return;
81    }
82    (void)OsalSpinUnlock(&device->spin);
83}
84
85static const struct AdcLockMethod g_adcLockOpsDefault = {
86    .lock = AdcDeviceLockDefault,
87    .unlock = AdcDeviceUnlockDefault,
88};
89
90```
91
92If spinlock cannot be used, you can use another type of lock to implement **AdcLockMethod**. The custom **AdcLockMethod** will replace the default **AdcLockMethod**.

109### How to Develop
110
111The ADC module adaptation involves the following steps:
112
1131. Instantiate the driver entry.
114   - Instantiate the **HdfDriverEntry** structure.
115   - Call **HDF_INIT** to register the **HdfDriverEntry** instance with the HDF.
116
1172. Configure attribute files.
118   - Add the **deviceNode** information to the **device_info.hcs** file.
119   - (Optional) Add the **adc_config.hcs** file.
120
1213. Instantiate the core layer APIs.
122   - Initialize **AdcDevice**.
123   - Instantiate **AdcMethod** in the **AdcDevice** object.

125      > For details about the functions in **AdcMethod**, see [Available APIs](#available-apis).
126
127### Example
128
129The following uses the Hi3516D V300 driver **//device/soc/hisilicon/common/platform/adc/adc_hi35xx.c** as an example to describe how to perform the ADC driver adaptation.
130
1311. Instantiate the driver entry.
132
133   The driver entry must be a global variable of the **HdfDriverEntry** type (defined in **hdf_device_desc.h**), and the value of **moduleName** must be the same as that in **device_info.hcs**. In the HDF, the start address of each **HdfDriverEntry** object of all loaded drivers is collected to form a segment address space similar to an array for the upper layer to invoke.
134
135   Generally, the HDF calls the **Bind** function and then the **Init** function to load a driver. If **Init** fails to be called, the HDF calls **Release** to release driver resources and exit.
136
137   ADC driver entry example:
138
139   Multiple devices may connect to the ADC controller. In the HDF, a manager object needs to be created for this type of devices. When a device needs to be started, the manager object locates the target device based on the specified parameters.
140
141   You do not need to implement the driver of the ADC manager, which is implemented by the core layer. However, the **AdcDeviceAdd** function of the core layer must be invoked in the **Init** function to implement the related features.
142
143    ```c
144    static struct HdfDriverEntry g_hi35xxAdcDriverEntry = {
145        .moduleVersion = 1,
146        .Init = Hi35xxAdcInit,
147        .Release = Hi35xxAdcRelease,
148        .moduleName = "hi35xx_adc_driver",        // (Mandatory) The value must be the same as the module name in the device_info.hcs file.
149    };
150    HDF_INIT(g_hi35xxAdcDriverEntry);             // Call HDF_INIT to register the driver entry with the HDF.
151
152    /* Driver entry of the adc_core.c manager service at the core layer */
153    struct HdfDriverEntry g_adcManagerEntry = {
154        .moduleVersion = 1,
155        .Init     = AdcManagerInit,
156        .Release  = AdcManagerRelease,
157        .moduleName = "HDF_PLATFORM_ADC_MANAGER", // The value must be that of device0 in the device_info.hcs file.
158    };
159    HDF_INIT(g_adcManagerEntry);
160    ```
161
1622. Add the **deviceNode** information to the **//vendor/hisilicon/hispark_taurus/hdf_config/device_info/device_info.hcs** file and configure the device attributes in **adc_config.hcs**.
163
164    The **deviceNode** information is related to the driver entry registration. The device attribute values are closely related to the driver implementation and the default values or value ranges of the **AdcDevice** members at the core layer.
165
166    In the unified service mode, the first device node in the **device_info.hcs** file must be the ADC manager. The parameters must be set as follows:
167
168    | Parameter| Value|
169    | -------- | -------- |
170    | moduleName | **HDF_PLATFORM_ADC_MANAGER**|
171    | serviceName | –|
172    | policy | **0**, which indicates that no service is published.|
173    | deviceMatchAttr | Reserved.|
174
175    Configure ADC controller information from the second node. This node specifies a type of ADC controllers rather than an ADC controller. In this example, there is only one ADC device. If there are multiple ADC devices, add the **deviceNode** information to the **device_info.hcs** file and add the corresponding device attributes to the **adc_config** file for each device.
176
177   - **device_info.hcs** example
178
179      ```c
180      root {
181          device_info {
182              platform :: host {
183                  device_adc :: device {
184                      device0 :: deviceNode {
185                          policy = 0;
186                          priority = 50;
187                          permission = 0644;
188                          moduleName = "HDF_PLATFORM_ADC_MANAGER";
189                          serviceName = "HDF_PLATFORM_ADC_MANAGER";
190                      }
191                      device1 :: deviceNode {
192                          policy = 0;                               // The value 0 indicates that no service is published.
193                          priority = 55;                            // Driver startup priority.
194                          permission = 0644;                        // Permission for the device node created.
195                          moduleName = "hi35xx_adc_driver";         // (Mandatory) Driver name, which must be the same as moduleName in the driver entry.
196                          serviceName = "HI35XX_ADC_DRIVER";        // (Mandatory) Unique name of the service published by the driver.
197                          deviceMatchAttr = "hisilicon_hi35xx_adc"; // (Mandatory) Private data of the controller. The value must be the same as that of the controller in adc_config.hcs.
198                                                                    // The specific controller information is in adc_config.hcs.
199                      }
200                  }
201              }
202          }
203      }
204      ```
205
206   - **adc_config.hcs** example
207
208      The following uses Hi3516D V300 as an example. Some fields are unique to Hi3516D V300. You can delete or add fields as required.
209
210      ```c
211      root {
212          platform {
213              adc_config_hi35xx {
214                  match_attr = "hisilicon_hi35xx_adc";
215                  template adc_device {
216                      regBasePhy = 0x120e0000; // Physical base address of the register.
217                      regSize = 0x34;          // Bit width of the register.
218                      deviceNum = 0;           // Device number.
219                      validChannel = 0x1;      // Valid channel.
220                      dataWidth = 10;          // Data width after AD conversion, that is, the resolution.
221                      scanMode = 1;            // Scan mode.
222                      delta = 0;               // Error range of the conversion result.
223                      deglitch = 0;            // Setting of the deglitch.
224                      glitchSample = 5000;     // Deglitch time window.
225                      rate = 20000;            // Conversion rate.
226                  }
227                  device_0 :: adc_device {
228                      deviceNum = 0;
229                      validChannel = 0x2;
230                  }
231              }
232          }
233      }
234      ```
235
236      After the **adc_config.hcs** file is configured, include the file in the **hdf.hcs** file. Otherwise, the configuration file cannot take effect.
237
238      For example, if the **adc_config.hcs** file is in **//device/soc/hisilicon/hi3516dv300/sdk_liteos/hdf_config/adc/**, add the following statement to **hdf.hcs** of the product:
239
240      ```c
241      #include "../../../../device/soc/hisilicon/hi3516dv300/sdk_liteos/hdf_config/adc/adc_config.hcs" // Relative path of the configuration file
242      ```
243
244      This example is based on the Hi3516D V300 development board that runs the LiteOS. The corresponding **hdf.hcs** file is in **vendor/hisilicon/hispark_taurus/hdf_config/hdf.hcs** and **//device/hisilicon/hispark_taurus/sdk_liteos/hdf_config/hdf.hcs**. You can modify the file as required.
245
2463. Initialize the **AdcDevice** object at the core layer, including defining a custom structure (to pass parameters and data) and implementing the **HdfDriverEntry** member functions (**Bind**, **Init** and **Release**) to instantiate **AdcMethod** in **AdcDevice** (so that the underlying driver functions can be called).
247
248   - Define a custom structure.
249
250      To the driver, the custom structure holds parameters and data. The DeviceResourceIface() function provided by the HDF reads **adc_config.hcs** to initialize the custom structure and passes some important parameters, such as the device number and bus number, to the **AdcDevice** object at the core layer.
251
252      ```c
253      struct Hi35xxAdcDevice {
254          struct AdcDevice device;         // (Mandatory) Control object at the core layer. It must be the first member of the custom structure. For details, see the following description.
255          volatile unsigned char *regBase; // (Mandatory) Register base address.
256          volatile unsigned char *pinCtrlBase;
257          uint32_t regBasePhy;             // (Mandatory) Physical base address of the register.
258          uint32_t regSize;                // (Mandatory) Register bit width.
259          uint32_t deviceNum;              // (Mandatory) Device number.
260          uint32_t dataWidth;              // (Mandatory) Data bit width of received signals.
261          uint32_t validChannel;           // (Mandatory) Valid channel.
262          uint32_t scanMode;               // (Mandatory) Scan mode.
263          uint32_t delta;
264          uint32_t deglitch;
265          uint32_t glitchSample;
266          uint32_t rate;                   // (Mandatory) Sampling rate.
267      };
268
269      /* AdcDevice is the core layer controller structure. The **Init()** function assigns values to the members of AdcDevice. */
270      struct AdcDevice {
271          const struct AdcMethod *ops;
272          OsalSpinlock spin;
273          uint32_t devNum;
274          uint32_t chanNum;
275          const struct AdcLockMethod *lockOps;
276          void *priv;
277      };
278      ```
279
280   - Instantiate the hook function structure **AdcMethod** of **AdcDevice**.
281
282      The **AdcLockMethod** is not implemented in this example. To instantiate the structure, refer to the I2C driver development. Other members are initialized in the **Init** function.
283
284      ```c
285      static const struct AdcMethod g_method = {
286          .read = Hi35xxAdcRead,
287          .stop = Hi35xxAdcStop,
288          .start = Hi35xxAdcStart,
289      };
290      ```
291
292   - Implement the **Init** function.
293
294      Input parameter:
295
296      **HdfDeviceObject**, an interface parameter provided by the driver, contains the .hcs information.
297
298      Return value:
299
300      **HDF_STATUS**<br/>The table below describes some status. For more information, see **HDF_STATUS** in the **//drivers/hdf_core/framework/include/utils/hdf_base.h** file.
