MikroElektronika (MIKROE), the embedded solutions company that dramatically cuts development time by providing innovative hardware and software products based on proven standards, today introduced ClickID, a hardware/software (HW/SW) open-source solution based on a one-wire device that enables hot-plugging of Click™ or any other mikroBUS™-compatible add-on peripheral boards to development boards running embedded Linux or similar OS.
ClickID brings a new level of automation and self-diagnosis to embedded tools. Integrating with Click boards™ on an embedded system facilitates more complex operations, allowing software to identify add-on board peripheral configurations. A ClickID demo library
https://github.com/MikroElektronika/mikrosdk_click_v2/tree/master/clicks/clickid is available on any MIKROE development system.
This versatile example demonstrates how to read, write, and process data from the ClickID. The entire application code and ready-to-use projects can be easily installed from NECTO Studio Package Manager,
downloaded from LibStock™ or found on MKROE’s GitHub account.
For Linux-based systems like BeaglePlay®, ClickID simplifies the addition and operation of peripheral add-on boards. ClickID communicates with the operating system kernel using the 1-Wire protocol, enabling automatic recognition of silicon ICs on add-on boards. It delivers manifest files to the operating system, facilitating the loading of appropriate drivers for
interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, PWM, and ADC.
