Felipe Moura 94d5599ffe drivers/sensors/lsm6ds3trc: add FIFO drain via watermark interrupt
Interrupt-driven mode so far pushes one uORB event per physical sample:
one I2C burst read and one interrupt per sample, at whatever ODR the
topic is running. That's the dominant power cost for a
battery-constrained use case sampling continuously -- draining the
chip's FIFO in batches cuts both by roughly the watermark size.

The LSM6DS3TR-C's FIFO is the older ST "pattern" style (no per-sample
tag byte, unlike LSM6DSO/ISM330): FIFO_CTRL3's per-sub-sensor decimation
bits choose which of gyro/accel feed the FIFO (0 = excluded, 1 = no
decimation -- only 0/1 are used here), FIFO_CTRL5 sets one shared
FIFO-only ODR, and FIFO_STATUS1/2's DIFF_FIFO reports how many 16-bit
words are waiting. Reused the existing INT1 wiring, but switched from
DRDY (per-sample) to FTH (threshold reached) when
CONFIG_SENSORS_LSM6DS3TRC_FIFO is on -- new bool that's a whole-driver
mode switch, not a per-instance choice, so a board doesn't change; only
its Kconfig does.

lsm6ds3trc_fifo_configure() re-derives and writes the decimation bits,
FIFO ODR, and watermark threshold (in words = watermark-in-samples *
words-per-pattern, 3 with one sub-sensor active or 6 with both) from
current dev->gyro/accel enabled+odr state; called from activate() and
set_interval(). Both sub-sensors are forced to the same ODR while FIFO
is on -- decimation factors > 1 for independent per-topic rates is real
complexity (matching ODR ratios to decimation values) left for later.

lsm6ds3trc_fifo_worker() replaces lsm6ds3trc_worker() under the Kconfig
guard: reads DIFF_FIFO, bursts that many words (rounded down to a whole
pattern chunk, capped at 2x the configured watermark so a late drain
doesn't overflow the read buffer -- whatever's left over just waits in
the chip's own FIFO for the next drain), then walks the buffer decoding
each chunk into a push_event() same as before. FIFO entries don't carry
their own timestamp, so each one is interpolated backwards from the
ISR's timestamp by the configured ODR interval. Temperature isn't part
of the FIFO pattern (FIFO_TEMP_EN stays off to keep the pattern width
simple); one direct OUT_TEMP_L read per drain is applied to the whole
batch instead.

Validated on the bench, both pattern widths: with both topics
subscribed (6-word pattern) and with only the accelerometer (3-word),
samples arrive in watermark-sized bursts with interpolated timestamps
spaced by the exact configured ODR interval (52Hz -> 19230us between
every consecutive sample, matched exactly), sane accel/gyro values, no
I2C errors, no overruns, sustained for 15+ seconds continuous.

Apache NuttX is a real-time operating system (RTOS) with an emphasis on standards compliance and small footprint. Scalable from 8-bit to 64-bit microcontroller environments, the primary governing standards in NuttX are POSIX and ANSI standards. Additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOSs (such as VxWorks) are adopted for functionality not available under these standards, or for functionality that is not appropriate for deeply-embedded environments (such as fork()).

For brevity, many parts of the documentation will refer to Apache NuttX as simply NuttX.

Getting Started

First time on NuttX? Read the Getting Started guide! If you don't have a board available, NuttX has its own simulator that you can run on terminal.

Documentation

You can find the current NuttX documentation on the Documentation Page.

Alternatively, you can build the documentation yourself by following the Documentation Build Instructions.

The old NuttX documentation is still available in the Apache wiki.

Supported Boards

NuttX supports a wide variety of platforms. See the full list on the Supported Platforms page.
