I have been trying to interface an IMU (inertial measurement unit) to the beaglebone black with the hope of getting a flight controller for multirotor drone running on it. It's currently pretty low-level stuff includying writing kernel code, cross-compiling kernels, and trying to understand and use from user space the IIO (industrial instrument I/O) interface of the kernel.
Programming always interests me, particularly the mechanisms in Linux to do low-level stuff from userland, _without_ having to resort to kernel programming. Is there a libiio, analogous to libusb, for this purpose?
