I'm trying to install Debian 9 on an ARCHOS 90 CESIUM tablet. The basic stuff is already working with Liquorix kernel but with the accelerator (nor the touchscreen).

For the accelerator I'm following the instructions from Change iio-sensors data via custom ACCEL_MOUNT_MATRIX, but after several tries, I'm not able to put it working properly.

$ udevadm info -n "/dev/iio:device0"
P: /devices/platform/80860F41:02/i2c-2/i2c-SMO8500:00/iio:device0
N: iio:device0
E: DEVNAME=/dev/iio:device0
E: DEVPATH=/devices/platform/80860F41:02/i2c-2/i2c-SMO8500:00/iio:device0
E: DEVTYPE=iio_device
E: IIO_SENSOR_PROXY_TYPE=iio-buffer-accel
E: MAJOR=245
E: MINOR=0
E: SUBSYSTEM=iio
E: SYSTEMD_WANTS=iio-sensor-proxy.service
E: TAGS=:systemd:
E: USEC_INITIALIZED=5497035

$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/modalias 
dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr5.6.5:bd07/18/2015:svnARCHOS:pnARCHOS90CESIUM:pvrTobefilledbyO.E.M.:rvnARCHOS:rnARCHOS90CESIUM:rvr1.0:cvnToBeFilledByO.E.M.:ct3:cvrToBeFilledByO.E.M.:

$ journalctl -b | grep iio
Jan 06 21:30:19 tablet iio-sensor-prox[416]: Could not find trigger name associated with /sys/devices/platform/80860F41:02/i2c-2/i2c-SMO8500:00/iio:device0

So, I created a custom sensor file for udev:

$ cat /etc/udev/hwdb.d/61-sensor-local.hwdb
sensor:modalias:acpi:SMO8500:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnARCHOS:pnARCHOS90CESIUM:*
    ACCEL_MOUNT_MATRIX=0, 1, 0; -1, 0, 0; 0, 0, 1

Updated udev hwdb and trigger...

$ systemd-hwdb update
$ udevadm trigger

...but the custom matrix does not appear...

$ udevadm info -export-db | grep ACCEL
$

I tried several formats, but no one works.

Have you tried

sensor:modalias:acpi:SMO8500*:dmi:*:svnARCHOS*:pnARCHOS90CESIUM:*

as your udev-rule?

Did you do the hwdb-update as root / sudo?

  • I can't at this moment, but I'll give you feedback tomorrow. Thanks. Edited: all instructions above were executed as root :) Jan 11, 2018 at 14:24
  • I tried that rule and still no luck :-\ Thanks anyway! Jan 12, 2018 at 11:00
