13Description
14-----------
15CMA3000 Tri-axis accelerometer supports Motion detect, Measurement and
16Free fall modes.
17
18Motion Detect Mode: Its the low power mode where interrupts are generated only
19when motion exceeds the defined thresholds.
20
21Measurement Mode: This mode is used to read the acceleration data on X,Y,Z
22axis and supports 400, 100, 40 Hz sample frequency.
23
24Free fall Mode: This mode is intended to save system resources.
25
26Threshold values: Chip supports defining threshold values for above modes
27which includes time and g value. Refer product specifications for more details.
28
29CMA3000 chip supports mutually exclusive I2C and SPI interfaces for
30communication, currently the driver supports I2C based communication only.
31Initial configuration for bus mode is set in non volatile memory and can later
32be modified through bus interface command.
33
34Driver reports acceleration data through input subsystem. It generates ABS_MISC
35event with value 1 when free fall is detected.
36
37Platform data need to be configured for initial default values.
