what's the point of the driver if there is no way to connect the board? #2688

At https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/linux/blob/main/drivers/iio/resolver/ad2s1200.c there is a driver for LINUX for the EVAL-AD2S1210SDZ board

However, this board depends on another ( SDP-B ) to connect to the computer over USB, and this only connects to the computer via USB using a proprietary method and only for WINDOWS

So, the question is what is the point of offering a driver that cannot be used?

J3 and J4 on EVAL-AD2S1210SDZ can be used to connect another micro which can run Linux or you can use a custom board

Thanks, the EVAL-AD2S1210SDZ is attached to a SDP-B board which has a UART connector. It'd be easier to implement if this connector worked

The AD2S1210 device driver docs have some detailed wiring instructions:

This board has also the SDP connector...

Thanks. As we understand, no UART support was implemented in the SDP-B, even though there is a connector

Thanks, the instructions involve desoldering a resistor which is the size of a half grain of rice and find another (impossible to know the resistance) to connect another jumper

Clearly this solution is not commercially minded
