Any update for the possible Linux driver for the Sensor Fusion Hub?

I would also like if at least the basic orientation sensor input would be available

Linux 5.1 has just been anounced. Any news regarding this driver?

[finalzone]

Nothing so far on kernel 5.1 series not even 5.2. Only a i2c controller for some laptops.

There is some good news regarding this: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/amd-gfx/2019-May/034431.html

"

The FCH team is working on a driver for it and should have something available by August.

"

However, a previous answer was:

"

On most programs the accelerometers were provided by the OEM as part of their platform design.  I'm not sure how it works on newer programs. 

"

So it might require some intervention from OEMs .. but, let's hope for the best!

Glad to hear the driver is on the way.

Bump! I strongly promote AMD for many reasons. Glad to hear you haven't forgot about Linux :3

Hi, has the driver been published yet? Is anybody tried Kernel 5.4?

[finalzone]

Not yet at this time. See [Follow-up] Status of AMD Sensor Fusion HUB for Linux

I just got an email letting know the code for AMD Sensor Fusion HUB is finally available on Linux IIO - Patchwork for testing.
