What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/in_allow_async_readout Date: December 2015 KernelVersion: 4.4 Contact: linux-iio@vger.kernel.org Description: By default (value '0'), the capture thread checks for the Conversion Ready Flag to being set prior to committing a new value to the sample buffer. This synchronizes the in-chip conversion rate with the in-driver readout rate at the cost of an additional register read. Writing '1' will remove the polling for the Conversion Ready Flags to save the additional i2c transaction, which will improve the bandwidth available for reading data. However, samples can be occasionally skipped or repeated, depending on the beat between the capture and conversion rates.
