interfacing HC-SR04 Ultrasonic sensor to STM32MP135-DK

[prabhu1985]

Hi All,

i am using STM32MP135-DK kit & i want to interface the ultrasonic sensor HC-SR04.

from user space i have tried to make gpio toggle at 10uSec ON/OFF which will be trigger signal for sensor but what i  observe in the trigger output pin is not toggling at same rate what i made it in bash script. 

can someone help me to resolve this or if we have ready solution available i can utilize it instead of reinventing it again.

Hi @prabhu1985 

with a OS like Linux, it is quite impossible to control so short time using GPIOs framework.

I think you should use timers to accurately generate the pulse and measure the feedback pulse delay.

Maybe some Linux drivers already exist for the HC-SR04 and could be tried/ported on STM32MP135.
