115 * Interaction with suspend mode
116 *
117 * Unless otherwise noted, an enabled sensor shall not prevent the
118 * SoC to go into suspend mode. It is the responsibility of applications
119 * to keep a partial wake-lock should they wish to receive sensor
120 * events while the screen is off. While in suspend mode, and unless
121 * otherwise noted, enabled sensors' events are lost.
122 *
123 * Note that conceptually, the sensor itself is not de-activated while in
124 * suspend mode -- it's just that the data it returns are lost. As soon as
125 * the SoC gets out of suspend mode, operations resume as usual. Of course,
126 * in practice sensors shall be disabled while in suspend mode to
127 * save power, unless batch mode is active, in which case they must
128 * continue fill their internal FIFO (see the documentation of batch() to
129 * learn how suspend interacts with batch mode).
130 *
131 * In batch mode and only when the flag SENSORS_BATCH_WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL is
Mathias Agopian1144bea2013-01-29 15:52:10 -0800132 * set and supported, the specified sensor must be able to wake-up the SoC and
133 * be able to buffer at least 10 seconds worth of the requested sensor events.
Mathias Agopiana4557722012-11-28 17:21:55 -0800134 *
135 * There are notable exceptions to this behavior, which are sensor-dependent
136 * (see sensor types definitions below)
137 *
138 *
139 * The sensor type documentation below specifies the wake-up behavior of
140 * each sensor:
141 * wake-up: yes this sensor must wake-up the SoC to deliver events
142 * wake-up: no this sensor shall not wake-up the SoC, events are dropped

147 * Sensor type
148 *
149 * Each sensor has a type which defines what this sensor measures and how
150 * measures are reported. All types are defined below.
151 */
152
153/*
154 * Sensor fusion and virtual sensors
155 *
156 * Many sensor types are or can be implemented as virtual sensors from
157 * physical sensors on the device. For instance the rotation vector sensor,
Mathias Agopian2f276f52013-01-28 17:54:41 -0800158 * orientation sensor, step-detector, step-counter, etc...
Mathias Agopiana4557722012-11-28 17:21:55 -0800159 *
160 * From the point of view of this API these virtual sensors MUST appear as
161 * real, individual sensors. It is the responsibility of the driver and HAL
162 * to make sure this is the case.
163 *
164 * In particular, all sensors must be able to function concurrently.
165 * For example, if defining both an accelerometer and a step counter,
166 * then both must be able to work concurrently.
167 */
168
169/*
170 * Trigger modes
171 *
172 * Sensors can report events in different ways called trigger modes,
173 * each sensor type has one and only one trigger mode associated to it.
174 * Currently there are four trigger modes defined:
175 *
176 * continuous: events are reported at a constant rate defined by setDelay().
177 * eg: accelerometers, gyroscopes.
178 * on-change: events are reported only if the sensor's value has changed.
179 * setDelay() is used to set a lower limit to the reporting
180 * period (minimum time between two events).
181 * The HAL must return an event immediately when an on-change
182 * sensor is activated.
183 * eg: proximity, light sensors
Etienne Le Grandca858142013-02-26 19:17:20 -0800184 * one-shot: upon detection of an event, the sensor deactivates itself and
185 * then sends a single event. Order matters to avoid race
186 * conditions. No other event is sent until the sensor get
187 * reactivated. setDelay() is ignored.
Mathias Agopiana4557722012-11-28 17:21:55 -0800188 * eg: significant motion sensor

999 *
1000 *
1001 * INTERACTION WITH SUSPEND MODE:
1002 * ------------------------------
Mathias Agopiana4557722012-11-28 17:21:55 -08001003 *
1004 * By default batch mode doesn't significantly change the interaction with
1005 * suspend mode, that is, sensors must continue to allow the SoC to
1006 * go into suspend mode and sensors must stay active to fill their
1007 * internal FIFO, in this mode, when the FIFO fills-up, it shall wrap
1008 * around (basically behave like a circular buffer, overwriting events).
1009 * As soon as the SoC comes out of suspend mode, a batch is produced with
1010 * as much as the recent history as possible, and batch operation
1011 * resumes as usual.
1012 *
1013 * The behavior described above allows applications to record the recent
1014 * history of a set of sensor while keeping the SoC into suspend. It
1015 * also allows the hardware to not have to rely on a wake-up interrupt line.
1016 *
1017 * There are cases however where an application cannot afford to lose
1018 * any events, even when the device goes into suspend mode. The behavior
1019 * specified above can be altered by setting the
1020 * SENSORS_BATCH_WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL flag. If this flag is set, the SoC
1021 * must be woken up from suspend and a batch must be returned before
1022 * the FIFO fills-up. Enough head room must be allocated in the FIFO to allow
1023 * the device to entirely come out of suspend (which might take a while and
1024 * is device dependent) such that no event are lost.
1025 *
1026 * If the hardware cannot support this mode, or, if the physical
1027 * FIFO is so small that the device would never be allowed to go into
Mathias Agopian1144bea2013-01-29 15:52:10 -08001028 * suspend for at least 10 seconds, then this function MUST fail when
1029 * the flag SENSORS_BATCH_WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL is set, regardless of
1030 * the value of the timeout parameter.
Mathias Agopiana4557722012-11-28 17:21:55 -08001031 *
Mathias Agopian1144bea2013-01-29 15:52:10 -08001032 * DRY RUN:
1033 * --------
Mathias Agopiana4557722012-11-28 17:21:55 -08001034 *
1035 * If the flag SENSORS_BATCH_DRY_RUN is set, this function returns
Mathias Agopian1144bea2013-01-29 15:52:10 -08001036 * without modifying the batch mode or the event period and has no side
1037 * effects, but returns errors as usual (as it would if this flag was
1038 * not set). This flag is used to check if batch mode is available for a
1039 * given configuration -- in particular for a given sensor at a given rate.
1040 *
Mathias Agopiana4557722012-11-28 17:21:55 -08001041 *
1042 * Return values:
Mathias Agopian1144bea2013-01-29 15:52:10 -08001043 * --------------
1044 *
1045 * Because sensors must be independent, the return value must not depend
1046 * on the state of the system (whether another sensor is on or not),
1047 * nor on whether the flag SENSORS_BATCH_DRY_RUN is set (in other words,
1048 * if a batch call with SENSORS_BATCH_DRY_RUN is successful,
1049 * the same call without SENSORS_BATCH_DRY_RUN must succeed as well).
Mathias Agopiana4557722012-11-28 17:21:55 -08001050 *
1051 * If successful, 0 is returned.
1052 * If the specified sensor doesn't support batch mode, -EINVAL is returned.
1053 * If the specified sensor's trigger-mode is one-shot, -EINVAL is returned.
1054 * If any of the constraint above cannot be satisfied, -EINVAL is returned.
1055 *
Mathias Agopian1144bea2013-01-29 15:52:10 -08001056 * Note: the timeout parameter, when > 0, has no impact on whether this
1057 * function succeeds or fails.
1058 *
Mathias Agopiana4557722012-11-28 17:21:55 -08001059 * If timeout is set to 0, this function must succeed.

Mathias Agopiana4557722012-11-28 17:21:55 -08001064 *
1065 * batch mode, if supported, should happen at the hardware level,
1066 * typically using hardware FIFOs. In particular, it SHALL NOT be

1069 *
Mathias Agopiana4557722012-11-28 17:21:55 -08001070 * batch mode can be enabled or disabled at any time, in particular
1071 * while the specified sensor is already enabled and this shall not

Etienne Le Grandca858142013-02-26 19:17:20 -08001074 * COMPARATIVE IMPORTANCE OF BATCHING FOR DIFFERENT SENSORS:
1075 * ---------------------------------------------------------
1076 *
1077 * On platforms on which hardware fifo size is limited, the system designers
1078 * might have to choose how much fifo to reserve for each sensor. To help
1079 * with this choice, Here is a list of applications made possible when
1080 * batching is implemented on the different sensors.
1081 *
1082 * High value: Low power pedestrian dead reckoning
1083 * Target batching time: 20 seconds to 1 minute
1084 * Sensors to batch:
1085 * - Step detector
1086 * - Rotation vector or game rotation vector at 5Hz
1087 * Gives us step and heading while letting the AP go to Suspend.
1088 *
1089 * High value: Medium power activity/gesture recognition
1090 * Target batching time: 3 seconds
1091 * Sensors to batch: accelerometer between 20Hz and 50Hz
1092 * Allows recognizing arbitrary activities and gestures without having
1093 * to keep the AP fully awake while the data is collected.
1094 *
1095 * Medium-high value: Interrupt load reduction
1096 * Target batching time: < 1 second
1097 * Sensors to batch: any high frequency sensor.
1098 * If the gyroscope is set at 800Hz, even batching just 10 gyro events can
1099 * reduce the number of interrupts from 800/second to 80/second.
1100 *
1101 * Medium value: Continuous low frequency data collection
1102 * Target batching time: > 1 minute
1103 * Sensors to batch: barometer, humidity sensor, other low frequency
1104 * sensors.
1105 * Allows creating monitoring applications at low power.
1106 *
1107 * Medium value: Continuous full-sensors collection
1108 * Target batching time: > 1 minute
1109 * Sensors to batch: all, at high frequencies
1110 * Allows full collection of sensor data while leaving the AP in
1111 * suspend mode. Only to consider if fifo space is not an issue.
