6.1. Description

CMA3000 Tri-axis accelerometer supports Motion detect, Measurement and Free fall modes.

Motion Detect Mode:
Its the low power mode where interrupts are generated only when motion exceeds the defined thresholds.
Measurement Mode:
This mode is used to read the acceleration data on X,Y,Z axis and supports 400, 100, 40 Hz sample frequency.
Free fall Mode:
This mode is intended to save system resources.
Threshold values:
Chip supports defining threshold values for above modes which includes time and g value. Refer product specifications for more details.

CMA3000 chip supports mutually exclusive I2C and SPI interfaces for communication, currently the driver supports I2C based communication only. Initial configuration for bus mode is set in non volatile memory and can later be modified through bus interface command.

Driver reports acceleration data through input subsystem. It generates ABS_MISC event with value 1 when free fall is detected.

Platform data need to be configured for initial default values.
