NAME
iio_genxml - Generate XML representation of a Libiio context
SYNOPSIS
iio_genxml [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
iio_genxml is a utility for generating a XML representation of a Libiio context.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Tells iio_genxml to display some help, and then quit.
-V, --version
Prints the version information for this particular copy of iio_genxml and the version of the
libiio library it is using. This is useful for knowing if the version of the library and
iio_genxml on your system are up to date. This is also useful when reporting bugs.
-S, --scan [backends]
Scan for available IIO contexts, optional arg of specific backend(s) 'ip', 'usb' or 'ip:usb'.
Specific options for USB include Vendor ID, Product ID to limit scanning to specific devices
'usb=0456,b673'. vid,pid are hexadecimal numbers (no prefix needed), "*" (match any for pid only)
If no argument is given, it checks all that are available.
-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_genxml -S
serial:[port],[baud],[settings]
which are controlled, and need to match the iiod (or tinyiiod) on the other end of the
serial port.
[port] is something like '/dev/ttyUSB0' on Linux, and 'COM4' on Windows.
[baud] is is normally one of 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400,
57600, 115200 [default], 128000 or 256000, but can vary system to system.
[settings]
would normally be configured as '8n1' this is controlled by:
data_bits:
(5, 6, 7, 8 [default], or 9)
parity_bits:
('n' none [default], 'o' odd, 'e' even, 'm' mark, or 's' space)
stop_bits:
(1 [default, or 2)
flow_control:
('0' none [default], 'x' Xon Xoff, 'r' RTSCTS, or 'd' DTRDSR)
local: with no address part.
RETURN VALUE
If the specified device is not found, a non-zero exit code is returned.
