| KernelVersion: 5.4 |
| Contact: linux-iio@vger.kernel.org |
| Description: |
| DMA buffers tend to have a alignment requirement for the |
| buffers. If this alignment requirement is not met samples might |
| be dropped from the buffer. |
| |
| This property reports the alignment requirements in bytes. |
| This means that the buffer size in bytes needs to be a integer |
| multiple of the number reported by this file. |
| |
| The alignment requirements in number of sample sets will depend |
| on the enabled channels and the bytes per channel. This means |
| that the alignment requirement in samples sets might change |
| depending on which and how many channels are enabled. Whereas |
| the alignment requirement reported in bytes by this property |
| will remain static and does not depend on which channels are |
| enabled. |
