+ADXL345 driver
+===============
+
+This driver supports Analog Device's ADXL345/375 on SPI/I2C bus.
+
+1. Supported Devices
+====================
+
+* `ADXL345 <https://www.analog.com/ADXL345>`_
+* `ADXL375 <https://www.analog.com/ADXL375>`_
+
+The ADXL345 is a generic purpose low power, 3-axis accelerometer with selectable
+measurement ranges. The ADXL345 supports the ±2 g, ±4 g, ±8 g, and ±16 g ranges.
+
+2. Device Attributes
+====================
+
+Each IIO device, has a device folder under ``/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX``,
+where X is the IIO index of the device. Under these folders reside a set of
+device files, depending on the characteristics and features of the hardware
+device in questions. These files are consistently generalized and documented in
+the IIO ABI documentation.
+
+The following table shows the ADXL345 related device files, found in the
+specific device folder path ``/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX``.
+

+
+Channel Processed Values
+-------------------------
+
+A channel value can be read from its _raw attribute. The value returned is the
+raw value as reported by the devices. To get the processed value of the channel,
+apply the following formula:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+        processed value = (_raw + _offset) * _scale
+
+Where _offset and _scale are device attributes. If no _offset attribute is
+present, simply assume its value is 0.
+
++-------------------------------------+---------------------------+
+| Channel type                        | Measurement unit          |
++-------------------------------------+---------------------------+
+| Acceleration on X, Y, and Z axis    | Meters per second squared |
++-------------------------------------+---------------------------+
+
+Sensor Events
+-------------
+
+Particular IIO events will be triggered by the corresponding interrupts. The
+sensor driver supports no or one active INT line, where the sensor has two
+possible INT IOs. Configure the used INT line in the devicetree. If no INT line
+is configured, the sensor falls back to FIFO bypass mode and no events are
+possible, only X, Y and Z axis measurements are possible.
+
+The following table shows the ADXL345 related device files, found in the
+specific device folder path ``/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/events``.
+Note, the default activity/inactivity is DC coupled. Thus only AC coupled
+activity and inactivity are mentioned explicitly.

+
+Find a detailed description of a particular functionality in the sensor
+datasheet.
+
+Setting the **ODR** explicitly will result in estimated adjusted default values
+for the inactivity time detection, where higher frequencies shall default to
+longer wait periods, and vice versa. It is also possible to explicetly
+configure inactivity wait times, if the defaulting approach does not match
+application requirements. Setting 0 here, will fall back to default setting.
+
+The **g range** configuration also tries to estimate activity and inactivity
+thresholds when switching to another g range. The default range will be
+factorized by the relation of old range divided by new range. The value never
+becomes 0 and will be at least 1 and at most 255 i.e. 62.5g/LSB according to
+the datasheet. Nevertheless activity and inactivity thresholds can be
+overwritten by explicit values.
+
+When **activity** and **inactivity** events are enabled, the driver automatically
+will implement its hysteresis solution by setting link bit and autosleep bit.
+The link bit serially links the activity and inactivity functions. On the other
+side, the autosleep function switches the sensor to sleep mode if the
+inactivity function is enabled. This will reduce current consumption to the
+sub-12.5Hz rate. Inactivity time can be configured between 1s and 255s. When 0
+is configured as inactivity time, the driver will define a reasonable value
+depending on a heuristic approach to optimize power consumption.
+
+In **DC-coupled** operation, the current acceleration magnitude is compared
+directly with THRESH_ACT and THRESH_INACT registers to determine whether
+activity or inactivity was detected. In AC-coupled operation for activity
+detection, the acceleration value at the start of activity detection is taken
+as a reference value. New samples are then compared to this reference value.
+Where DC-coupled is the default case detecting against the configured threshold,
+AC-coupled measurements are referenced against an internal filter depending
+on the configured threshold.
+Activity detection can be enabled on particular axis. Inactivity detection on
+the other side, is enabled or disabled on all axis.
+Note, AC-coupling and DC-coupling are individually set for activity and/or
+inactivity detection, and cannot be set both at the same time. Enabling
+AC-coupled activity detection, and then DC-coupled activity detection will
+result in performing DC-coupled activity detection only. Hence, only the most
+recent configuration will valid.
+
+**Single tap** detection can be configured according to the datasheet by specifying
+threshold and duration. If only the single tap is in use, the single tap
+interrupt is triggered when the acceleration goes above threshold (i.e. DUR
+start) and below the threshold, as long as duration is not exceeded. If single
+tap and double tap are in use, the single tap is triggered when the doulbe tap
+event has been either validated or invalidated.
+
+For **double tap** configure additionally window and latency in [us]. Latency
+starts counting when the single tap goes below threshold and is a waiting
+period, any spikes here are ignored for double tap detection. After latency,
+the window starts. Any rise above threshold, with a consequent fall below
+threshold within window time, rises a double tap signal when going below
+threshold.
+
+Double tap event detection is best described in the datasheet. After a
+single tap event was detected, a double tap event can be detected. Therefore the
+signal must match several criteria, and detection can also considered invalid
+for three reasons:
+* If the **suppress bit** is set and when still in the tap latency period, any
+measurement of acceleration spike above the tap threshold invalidates double tap
+detection immediately, i.e. during latency must not occur spikes for double tap
+detection when the suppress bit is set.
+* A double tap event is considered invalid, if acceleration lies above the
+threshold at the start of the window time for double tap.
+* Additionally, double tap detection can be considered invalid, if an
+acceleration exceeds the time limit for taps, set by duration register.
+Note, since for double tap the same duration counts, i.e. when rising above
+threshold, a consequent falling below threshold has to be within duration time.
+Also note, the suppress bit is generally set when double tap is enabled.
+
+A **free-fall** event is detected if the measurement signal on all axis goes
+below the configured threshold for a configured period of time [us]. It is then
+reissued again and again. The generated magnitude event on the IIO channel is
+actually the same to the DC-coupled inactivity event. Since both can be
+considered as magnitude events on all axis (and'd). When using
+activity/inactivity detection and free-fall detection, it is probably the best
+approach o combine AC coupled activity/inactivity detection with free-fall.
+
+In situations with DC coupled activity/inactivity and free-fall enabled,
+activity/inactivity indicate the state change of the sensor with far higher
+periods [s], than the period taken for free-fall detection [us]. Probably the
+only way would be to verify the state change to inactive of the sensor in order
+to interprete a inactivity event rather than the typically more often happening
+free-fall event.
+
+Note, that activity/inactivy, as also free-fall is recommended for 12.5 Hz ODR
+up to 400 Hz. By the datasheet, free-fall threshold is recommended between 300mg
+and 600mg (0x05 to 0x09), and free-fall time is recommended to be set between
+100ms and 350ms (0x14 to 0x46).

+3. Device Buffers
+=================
+
+This driver supports IIO buffers.
+
+All devices support retrieving the raw acceleration and temperature measurements
+using buffers.
+
+Usage examples
+--------------
+
+Select channels for buffer read:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+        root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> echo 1 > scan_elements/in_accel_x_en
+        root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> echo 1 > scan_elements/in_accel_y_en
+        root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> echo 1 > scan_elements/in_accel_z_en
+
+Set the number of samples to be stored in the buffer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+        root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> echo 10 > buffer/length
+
+Enable buffer readings:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+        root:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0> echo 1 > buffer/enable
+
+Obtain buffered data:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+        root:> iio_readdev -b 16 -s 1024 adxl345 | hexdump -d
+        WARNING: High-speed mode not enabled
