15:10 <eiln> hm so I now have a proof of concept als kernel driver

15:10 <eiln> but I'm not sure of the best way to expose this to an iio node

15:10 <eiln> keep aop in soc/apple/ & describe a generic "light sensor" node in the device tree?

15:18 <eiln> erm but I have to generate the iio_chan_spec struct inside the report handler fn. hm this is a catch 22

15:42 <eiln> actually I don't think it'll work with iio. I don't control rate control

19:25 <joshheyse> Hi! I'm interested in helping out with the asahi development. I'm a software eng by trade but I have never done any linux kernel development or hardware reverse engineering. But I do have a pretty good grasp on C & x86 assembler and done some embedded development using Nordic NRF SOC. So I'm farmiliar with i2c/spi/uart and device trees.

19:30 <joshheyse> I have a spare M1 Mac mini I plan to use as my development machine. After following https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Tethered-Boot-Setup-%28For-Developers%29 what should my next steps be? Are there any other resources I should be using to learn more before I can begin contributing?

19:47 <joshheyse> Any thoughts/recommendations on the following books Linux Device Drivers (https://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/) Linux Kernel Development (https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/linux-kernel-development/9780768696974/)
