pwm-sunxi

Kernel Module to support pwm for the sun4i (and others???)

Creates a sysfs structure like the following:

   -- pwm-sunxi
      |
      +----pwmX
               |
               +---duty
               +---duty_percent
               +---period
               +---polarity
               +---pulse
               +---pin
               +---run

Period values can be a bit confusing - I have a google spreadsheet that you can use to explore what will happen with different period and duty values

• period (r/w)

  period that makes up a cycle. Can be expressed as hz, khz, ms, or us. Whole numbers only.Examples:

    echo 10hz > /sys/class/pwm-sunxi/pwm0/period
    echo 1khz > /sys/class/pwm-sunxi/pwm0/period
    echo 100ms > /sys/class/pwm-sunxi/pwm0/period
    echo 100us > /sys/class/pwm-sunxi/pwm0/period
    echo 150khz > /sys/class/pwm-sunxi/pwm0/period

• duty (r/w)

  portion of the period above that is "active" or on. Same units as above

• duty_percent (r/w)

  duty expressed as a percentage. Whole numbers only

    echo 50 > /sys/class/pwm-sunxi/pwm0/duty_percent

• polarity(r/w)

  polarity of the pin during the duty portion. 1 = high, 0 = low during

• pulse (r/w)

  Output one pulse at the specified period and duty

• pin (ro)

  Name of the A10 pin this pwm outputs on. This is hardwired and informational only. Example: PB2

• run (r/w) Enable the PWM with the previously set parameters. Example:

    echo 1 > /sys/class/pwm-sunxi/pwm0/run
    echo 0 > /sys/class/pwm-sunxi/pwm0/run
