Library for interfacing with Linux IIO devices libiio is used to interface to Linux Industrial Input/Output (IIO) Subsystem. The Linux IIO subsystem is intended to provide support for devices that in some sense are analog to digital or digital to analog converters (ADCs, DACs). This includes, but is not limited to ADCs, Accelerometers, Gyros, IMUs, Capacitance to Digital Converters (CDCs), Pressure Sensors, Color, Light and Proximity Sensors, Temperature Sensors, Magnetometers, DACs, DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis), PLLs (Phase Locked Loops), Variable/Programmable Gain Amplifiers (VGA, PGA), and RF transceivers. libiio 0.21 4.fc34 x86_64 71 k libiio-0.21-4.fc34.src.rpm fedora Library for Industrial IO https LGPLv2 Library for interfacing with Linux IIO devices libiio is used to interface to Linux Industrial Input/Output (IIO) Subsystem.
