Ultibo Drivers

This repository contains a collection of additional drivers for various hardware and devices.

While key drivers supporting common and standard devices will continue to be added to the Core repository other drivers will be collected here.

Where possible all drivers in this repository are intended to be platform neutral, any that rely on a particular platform, architecture or model of SoC will be clearly indicated.

Contributions of additional drivers are welcome, while drivers that utilize the device model in Ultibo core are preferred we will accept contributions that simply interface directly with a specific piece of hardware.

Please try to include any relevant information about supported devices and models in the header of the driver unit along with brief instructions on how to use the driver. Drivers can be written in any of the languages supported by the Ultibo API.

Note that there isn't much here yet, if you have created a driver (even a simple one) consider contributing it so others can use it too.

Driver categories

Additional categories will be added as required.

ADC

Drivers for Analog to Digital conversion devices.

Display

Framebuffer and display device drivers.

GPIO

Drivers supporting GPIO functionality, including multiplexer and extender devices as well as I2C, SPI and USB devices which provide GPIO functionality.

Input

Input devices such as keyboard, mouse and other button/control handling devices.

Misc

Miscellaneous drivers that don't fit into any other category or mini drivers that provide access to optional functionality.

Network

Drivers for network devices such as USB dongles, note that drivers for on board devices will normally be included in the Core repository.

Power

Drivers for power control devices such as battery charging or fuel gauges

Temperature

Temperature and humidity sensing devices, either I2C, SPI or 1-wire.

Touch

Touch screen and digitizer drivers.

Experimental

Purely experimental (and possibly non functional) drivers that are for testing, development and/or feedback.
