You will have to instantiate +the devices explicitly. + +Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC2945 at address 0x10 +on I2C bus #1: +$ modprobe ltc2945 +$ echo ltc2945 0x10 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device + + +Sysfs entries +------------- + +Voltage readings provided by this driver are reported as obtained from the ADC +registers. If a set of voltage divider resistors is installed, calculate the +real voltage by multiplying the reported value with (R1+R2)/R2, where R1 is the +value of the divider resistor against the measured voltage and R2 is the value +of the divider resistor against Ground. + +Current reading provided by this driver is reported as obtained from the ADC +Current Sense register. The reported value assumes that a 1 mOhm sense resistor +is installed. If a different sense resistor is installed, calculate the real +current by dividing the reported value by the sense resistor value in mOhm. + +in1_input VIN voltage (mV).
