     27Many Ventana models come standard with an Accelerometer and Magnetometer on a single <a class="ext-link" href="http://cache.freescale.com/files/sensors/doc/data_sheet/FXOS8700CQ.pdf?pspll=1"><span class="icon">​</span>FXOS8700CQR1</a> IC.
     28</p>
     29<p>
     30Note that this device has a low power standby mode which it is in by default, so be sure to enable it if you want to read values from it (see examples below). Register 0x2a and 0x5b relate to this.

     48The Android BSP will register an accelerometer and a magnetometer sensor with the OS and therefore can be used with apps conforming the the Android sensor API.

     55<p>
     56The <a class="ext-link" href="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/input/input.txt"><span class="icon">​</span>Linux input device API</a> provides access to devices through a <tt>/dev/input/event&lt;n&gt;</tt> interface. The FXOS8700 is supported via a linux input driver on all of the Gateworks BSP's.
     57</p>
     58<p>
     59The <tt>/sys/class/input/input&lt;n&gt;/name</tt> directories will show the device name responsible for the events within that directory which correspond to matching <tt>/dev/input/event&lt;n&gt;</tt> entries.
     60</p>
     61<p>
     62Additionally there will be an api for the input device in <tt>/sys/devices/virtual/input/input&lt;n&gt;/</tt> that provides you access to various controllable aspects of the input device such as the polling frequency, the min/max values, the scaling mode used and the position (orientation) of the sensor on the board. The scaling mode and position will cause the values reported to the linux input subsystem to be transformed (for normalization).
     63</p>
     64<p>
     65You can use the popular evtest application to show details and events from a linux input device, or write an application that accesses the device yourself.
     66</p>
     67<p>
     68Example usage:

     129The FXOS8700 device is on the third (0 based) i2c bus at a slave address of 0x1e. Therefore you can access it directly without the need of a driver if necessary by knowing the register set from the datasheet.
