NAME

       iio_writedev - write buffers on an IIO device

SYNOPSIS

       iio_writedev  [  options  ]  [-n  <hostname>]  [-t  <trigger>]  [-T  <timeout-ms>] [-b <buffer-size>] [-s
       <samples>] <iio_device> [<channel> ...]

DESCRIPTION

       iio_reg is a utility for writing buffers from connected IIO devices.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Tells iio_readdev to display some help, and then quit.  -n, --network Use the network backend with
              the provided hostname

       -u, --uri
              The Uniform Resource Identifier (uri) for connecting to devices, can be one of:

              ip:[address]
                     network address, either numeric (192.168.0.1) or network hostname

              ip:    blank, if compiled with zeroconf support, will find an IIO device on network

              usb:[device:port:instance]
                     normally returned from iio_info -s

              serial:[port]

              local  with no address part

       -t --trigger
              Use the specified trigger, if needed on the specified channel

       -b --buffer-size
              Size of the capture buffer. Default is 256.

       -s --samples
              Number of samples (not bytes) to capture, 0 = infinite. Default is 0.

       -T --timeout
              Buffer timeout in milliseconds. 0 = no timeout. Default is 0.

       -a, --auto
              Scan for available contexts and if only one is available use it.

       -c --cyclic
              Use cyclic buffer mode.

RETURN VALUE

       If the specified device is not found, a non-zero exit code is returned.

USAGE

       You use iio_readdev in the same way you use many of the other libiio utilities.  You must specify  a  IIO
       device,  and the specific channel to read. Since this is a write, channels must be output.  It is easy to
       use iio_attr to find out what the channels are called.

       This identifies the device, and channel that can be used.
              iio_attr -a -o -c .
              Using auto-detected IIO context at URI "usb:3.10.5"
              dev 'cf-ad9361-dds-core-lpc', channel 'voltage0' (output, index: 0, format: le:S16/16>>0)
              dev 'cf-ad9361-dds-core-lpc', channel 'voltage1' (output, index: 1, format: le:S16/16>>0)

       This sends 1024 samples of I and Q data to the USB attached AD9361. data is taking from standard in, in a
       binary format.
              iio_writedev -a -s 1024 cf-ad9361-dds-core-lpc voltage0 voltage1 < ./samples.dat
