在使用如下接口之前,首先需要使用open接口打开SPI设备,如下所示, 操作完成后,记得用HardwareControler.close关闭:<br />

Before you invoke any of the following APIs make sure to invoke the open function to open an SPI device. After finish operations make sure to invoke the HardwareControler.close function to close the device:<br />

int spi_fd = HardwareControler.open("/dev/spidev1.0", FileCtlEnum.O_RDWR );
 
int spi_fd = HardwareControler.open("/dev/spidev1.0", FileCtlEnum.O_RDWR );

设置每次读SPI设备的字长,单位是比特。<br />

虽然大部分SPI接口的字长是8或者16,仍然会有一些特殊的例子。<br />
+
In general the number of bits to read is either 8 or 16 but there are exceptions in which you need to set the number of bits to read.<br />
需要说明的是,如果这个成员为零的话,默认使用8作为字长(ioctl SPI_IOC_WR_BITS_PER_WORD)
+
If this parameter is set to 0 it reads 8 bits (ioctl SPI_IOC_WR_BITS_PER_WORD).

1 Introduction

FriendlyThings is an Android SDK developed by FriendlyElec to access hardware. Users can use it to access various hardware resources Uart, SPI, I2C, GPIO etc on a FriendlyElec ARM board under Android. This SDK is based on Android-NDK. Users can use it to develop popular IoT applications without directly interacting with drivers.


Template:FriendlyThings Installation Guides

2 APIs in libfriendlyarm-things.so Library

Here is a list of HardwareControler APIs and these APIs are class interfaces and can be used directly, and you don't need to create a HardwareControler instance:

2.1 GPIO APIs

Applicable Platforms: All

API Name Parameters and Return Values Function
int open(
String devName
, int flags)

Parameters:
devName: device that data will be written to
flags: access mode, e.g. read-only,read/write etc. You can refer to FileCtlEnum.java

Return Value:
Returns a file descriptor if it is a success or returns -1 if it is a failure.

Opens a device

int ioctlWithIntValue (
int fd,
int cmd,
int value)

Parameters:
fd: device's file descriptor
cmd: ioctl command
value: parameter that will be used by the command. It can only be an integer.

Return Value:
Returns 0 if it is a success or returns -1 if it is a failure.

Commands ioctl operations

ioctl(int fd, 
int cmd
, byte[] buf)

Parameters:
fd: device's file descriptor
cmd: ioctl command
buf: parameter that will be used by the command

Return Value:
Returns 0 if it is a success or returns -1 if it is a failure.

Commands ioctl operations
if ioctl is a struct
you need to convert the struct to a byte stream

int write(
int fd,
byte[] data)

Parameters:
fd: device's file descriptor
data: data to be written to device

Return Value:
Returns the number of bytes written to the device if it is a success or returns -1 if it is a failure.

Writes characters to an opened device or file.

int read(
int fd, 
byte[] buf, 
int len)

Parameters:
fd: device's file descriptor
buf: buffer to store data
len: number of bytes to be read

Return Value:
Returns the number of bytes that are read from the device if it is a success or returns -1 if it is a failure. Returns 0 if the file pointer already points to the end of the file.

Reads data from an opened device or file.

int select(
int fd, 
int sec, 
int usec)

Parameters:
fd: file descriptor
sen: wait time in second
usec: wait time in nanosecond

Return Value:
If the file has data it returns 1. If the file doesn't have data it returns 0. If this operation fails it returns -1.

Checks if an opened device or file has data for reading.

void close(int fd)

Parameters:
fd: file descriptor.

Return Value:
No

Closes a file

2.2 APIs for Serial Communication

Applicable Platforms: All

API Name Parameters and Return Value Function
int openSerialPortEx(
String devName,
long baud,
int dataBits,
int stopBits,
String parityBit,
String flowCtrl
)

Parameters:
devName: device name
baud: baud rate
dataBits: databits(range of value: 5 ~ 8, 8 by default)
stopBits: stopbits(range of value: 1 ~ 2, 1 by default)
parityBit: paritybit(range of value: O means odd check, E means even check and N means no check)
flowCtrl: flow control(range of value: H means hardware flow control, S means software flow control and N means no flow control.)
Return Value:
Returns a file descriptor if it is a success. This file descriptor can be used in the functions of read, write, select and etc. It returns -1 if it is a failure.

Opens a serial device and returns a file descriptor.

Comments:

You need to open a serial device by invoking the openSerialPortEx function, poll the device's status by invoking the select function and read data from it if the device has data.

To write data to a device you can invoke the write function.
If no operations need to be performed on the device you need to invoke the close function to close it.

2.3 Onboad LED APIs

Applicable Platforms: FriendlyElec's Tiny and Smart CPU boards e.g. Tiny4412, Smart4412, Smart4418 and etc

API Name Parameters and Return Value Function
int setLedState( 
int ledID, 
int ledState )

Parameters:
ledID: LED index(value range: 0 ~ 3)
ledState: 1 means on and 0 means off

Return Value:
Returns 0 if it is a success or returns -1 if it is a failure.

Turns on/off LED.

2.4 PWM Buzzer APIs

Applicable Platforms: All FriendlyElec's Tiny and Smart carrier boards which have a PWM buzzer, e.g. Tiny4412, Smart4412 ,Smart4418 and etc

API Name Parameters and Return Value Function
int PWMPlay(int frequency);

Parameter:
frequency: sound frequency

Return Value:
Returns 0 if it is a success or returns -1 if it is a failure

Turns on a PWM buzzer to make sounds at a set frequency

int PWMStop();

Parameter:
No

Return Value:
Returns 0 if it is a success or returns -1 if it is -1

Turn off a PWM buzzer.

2.5 ADC APIs

Applicable Platforms: 6410, 210 and 4412

API Name Parameters and Return Value Function
int readADC()
