A couple of Zephyr driver tutorials and posts worth noting. Casting net wider for Zephyr device driver "How To" articles, find Jared Wolff's blog post:
Here is a link to a tutorial, part three of a series, which may be helpful:
What does zephyr_include_directories() perform? . . .
From Jared's blog post, he mentions in terms of driver directories and file structure the following paths and files:
* ncs/nrf/applications/asset_tracker . . . example Zephyr application path * ncs/nrf/drivers/sensor/CMakeLists.txt . . . example top level Zephyr drivers path * ncs/nrf/zephyr/module.yml . . . file module.yml "in subdirectory of a dependency"
This module.yml file contains:
build: cmake: . kconfig: Kconfig.nrf

status
2021-08-17 Note - info in this section can likely be moved to another section or deleted after review.
Before getting too far into Zephyr drivers, important to note the SDK we're using, obtained by git cloning Nordic's ncs v1.6.1 SDK and then executing `west init && west zephyr-export` commands. Turns out west
like git
supports a status query command:

Excerpt from Zephyr project drivers documentation:

Driver Data Structures
The device initialization macros populate some data structures at build time which are split into read-only and runtime-mutable parts. At a high level we have:
struct device { const char *name; const void *config; const void *api; void * const data; };
Excerpt from file ~/ncs/zephyr/include/drivers/sensor.h
:
382 /** 383 * @brief Set an attribute for a sensor 384 * 385 * @param dev Pointer to the sensor device 386 * @param chan The channel the attribute belongs to, if any. Some 387 * attributes may only be set for all channels of a device, depending on 388 * device capabilities. 389 * @param attr The attribute to set 390 * @param val The value to set the attribute to 391 * 392 * @return 0 if successful, negative errno code if failure. 393 */ 394 __syscall int sensor_attr_set(const struct device *dev, 395 enum sensor_channel chan, 396 enum sensor_attribute attr, 397 const struct sensor_value *val); 398 399 static inline int z_impl_sensor_attr_set(const struct device *dev, 400 enum sensor_channel chan, 401 enum sensor_attribute attr, 402 const struct sensor_value *val) 403 { 404 const struct sensor_driver_api *api = 405 (const struct sensor_driver_api *)dev->api; 406 407 if (api->attr_set == NULL) { 408 return -ENOSYS; 409 } 410 411 return api->attr_set(dev, chan, attr, val); 412 } 413
From these two code excerpts the big question is, how is dev->api assigned in early configuring code for an I2C based sensor?
./include/drivers/sensor.h:61: SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_XYZ, . . . hmm, this is part of a large enumeration:
53 enum sensor_channel { 54 /** Acceleration on the X axis, in m/s^2. */ 55 SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_X, 56 /** Acceleration on the Y axis, in m/s^2. */ 57 SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_Y, 58 /** Acceleration on the Z axis, in m/s^2. */ 59 SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_Z, 60 /** Acceleration on the X, Y and Z axes. */ 61 SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_XYZ, 62 /** Angular velocity around the X axis, in radians/s. */ 63 SENSOR_CHAN_GYRO_X, 64 /** Angular velocity around the Y axis, in radians/s. */ 65 SENSOR_CHAN_GYRO_Y, 66 /** Angular velocity around the Z axis, in radians/s. */ 67 SENSOR_CHAN_GYRO_Z, 68 /** Angular velocity around the X, Y and Z axes. */ 69 SENSOR_CHAN_GYRO_XYZ, . . .

^ LIS2DH driver files
Beginning with lis2dh_i2c.c, here we examine where Zephyr driver files for this accelerometer are located in Zephyr's source file project space. We'll also look at how routines and pound defines are factored across these files. Beginning with lis2dh_i2c.c
file and its final twenty or so lines, we have a specific sensor API routine, a structure which entails function pointers to all the LIS2DH driver routines in this source file, and finally an initializing function for this driver:
static int lis2dh_i2c_update_reg(const struct device *dev, uint8_t reg_addr, uint8_t mask, uint8_t value) { struct lis2dh_data *data = dev->data; const struct lis2dh_config *cfg = dev->config; return i2c_reg_update_byte(data->bus, cfg->bus_cfg.i2c_slv_addr, reg_addr, mask, value); } static const struct lis2dh_transfer_function lis2dh_i2c_transfer_fn = { .read_data = lis2dh_i2c_read_data, .write_data = lis2dh_i2c_write_data, .read_reg = lis2dh_i2c_read_reg, .write_reg = lis2dh_i2c_write_reg, .update_reg = lis2dh_i2c_update_reg, }; int lis2dh_i2c_init(const struct device *dev) { struct lis2dh_data *data = dev->data; data->hw_tf = &lis2dh_i2c_transfer_fn; return 0; } #endif /* DT_ANY_INST_ON_BUS_STATUS_OKAY(i2c) */
We also can see the closing pre-processor conditional directive, which pairs with a test at compile time which only compiles this driver API when at least one instance of the sensor is indicated in developer code:
#if DT_ANY_INST_ON_BUS_STATUS_OKAY(i2c) LOG_MODULE_DECLARE(lis2dh, CONFIG_SENSOR_LOG_LEVEL); static int lis2dh_i2c_read_data(const struct device *dev, uint8_t reg_addr, uint8_t *value, uint8_t len) { struct lis2dh_data *data = dev->data; const struct lis2dh_config *cfg = dev->config; . . . #endif /* DT_ANY_INST_ON_BUS_STATUS_OKAY(i2c) */
Ok, so already a fair amount going on here. An important point to note and remember is that routines in lis2dh_i2c.c
manifest direct calls to Zephyr RTOS's I2C driver. Most likely this is the only file where, following best factoring practices, we will see and want to make direct calls to this peripheral subsystem.
Along side the calls to an I2C driver there is also a LIS2DH initialization function, lis2dh_i2c_init(const struct device *dev)
. This initializer takes a pointer to a Zephyr device struct instance, and it assigns a value to *dev->data->hw_tf
. We may be mistaken but hw_tf probably stands for in this case "hardware transfer function" given the name of the collection of sensor API function pointers just above this assignment.
This LIS2DH Zephyr init function begins our "chain of search", to learn how developers' or app level code interfaces with Zephyr driver code.
^ Chain Of Search
Our search begins with looking for places where lis2dh_i2c_init(const struct device *dev)
is called or referenced by run-time code. This token is the name of the initializing routine called when Zephyr RTOS discovers one or more LIS2DH sensors connected (cofigured to use) an I2C bus. This routine is referenced only one place, in file lis2dh.c
where it is assigned to a member of a C structure which is defined via a macro. This macro's name is IS2DH_CONFIG_I2C
, and this name constitutes our next search step. Search steps are captured in the table below titled "Table x - Zephyr Driver Chain of Search".

From Zephyr documentation ncs/zephyr/doc/reference/devicetree/api.rst:
185 As shown above, the ``DT_INST_*`` APIs are conveniences for addressing nodes by 186 instance number. They are almost all defined in terms of one of the 187 :ref:`devicetree-generic-apis`. The equivalent generic API can be found by 188 removing ``INST_`` from the macro name. For example, ``DT_INST_PROP(inst, 189 prop)`` is equivalent to ``DT_PROP(DT_DRV_INST(inst), prop)``. Similarly, 190 ``DT_INST_REG_ADDR(inst)`` is equivalent to ``DT_REG_ADDR(DT_DRV_INST(inst))``, 191 and so on. There are some exceptions: :c:func:`DT_ANY_INST_ON_BUS_STATUS_OKAY` 192 and :c:func:`DT_INST_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY` are special-purpose helpers without 193 straightforward generic equivalents. 194 195 Since ``DT_DRV_INST()`` requires ``DT_DRV_COMPAT`` to be defined, it's an error 196 to use any of these without that macro defined.
^ Tracing from LIS2DH Sample Source Code
This line of code in the LIS2DH sample project appears to instantiate the code to support a present LIS2DH sensor. The macro DEVICE_DT_GET_ANY is defined in <$NCS_ROOT>/zephyr/include/device.h.
51 void main(void) 52 { 53 const struct device *sensor = DEVICE_DT_GET_ANY(st_lis2dh);
Here is the definition of the macro, which looks itself to include the one that seemed to "dead end" in our search a couple sections above:
282 /** 283 * @def DEVICE_DT_GET_ANY 284 * 285 * @brief Obtain a pointer to a device object by devicetree compatible 286 * 287 * If any enabled devicetree node has the given compatible and a 288 * device object was created from it, this returns that device. 289 * 290 * If there no such devices, this returns NULL. 291 * 292 * If there are multiple, this returns an arbitrary one. 293 * 294 * If this returns non-NULL, the device must be checked for readiness 295 * before use, e.g. with device_is_ready(). 296 * 297 * @param compat lowercase-and-underscores devicetree compatible 298 * @return a pointer to a device, or NULL 299 */ 300 #define DEVICE_DT_GET_ANY(compat) \ 301 COND_CODE_1(DT_HAS_COMPAT_STATUS_OKAY(compat), \ 302 (DEVICE_DT_GET(DT_COMPAT_GET_ANY_STATUS_OKAY(compat))), \ 303 (NULL))
From file ncs/zephyr/doc/guides/dts/howtos.rst:
417 .. _dt-create-devices-inst: 418 419 Option 1: create devices using instance numbers 420 =============================================== 421 422 Use this option, which uses :ref:`devicetree-inst-apis`, if possible. However, 423 they only work when devicetree nodes for your driver's ``compatible`` are all 424 equivalent, and you do not need to be able to distinguish between them. 425 426 To use instance-based APIs, begin by defining ``DT_DRV_COMPAT`` to the 427 lowercase-and-underscores version of the compatible that the device driver 428 supports. For example, if your driver's compatible is ``"vnd,my-device"`` in 429 devicetree, you would define ``DT_DRV_COMPAT`` to ``vnd_my_device`` in your 430 driver C file: 431 432 .. code-block:: c 433 434 /* 435 * Put this near the top of the file. After the includes is a good place. 436 * (Note that you can therefore run "git grep DT_DRV_COMPAT drivers" in 437 * the zephyr Git repository to look for example drivers using this style). 438 */ 439 #define DT_DRV_COMPAT vnd_my_device 440 441 .. important:: 442 443 As shown, the DT_DRV_COMPAT macro should have neither quotes nor special 444 characters. Remove quotes and convert special characters to underscores 445 when creating ``DT_DRV_COMPAT`` from the compatible property. 446 447 Finally, define an instantiation macro, which creates each ``struct device`` 448 using instance numbers. Do this after defining ``my_api_funcs``. 449 450 .. code-block:: c 451 452 /* 453 * This instantiation macro is named "CREATE_MY_DEVICE". 454 * Its "inst" argument is an arbitrary instance number. 455 * 456 * Put this near the end of the file, e.g. after defining "my_api_funcs". 457 */ 458 #define CREATE_MY_DEVICE(inst) \ 459 static struct my_dev_data my_data_##inst = { \ 460 /* initialize RAM values as needed, e.g.: */ \ 461 .freq = DT_INST_PROP(inst, clock_frequency), \ 462 }; \ 463 static const struct my_dev_cfg my_cfg_##inst = { \ 464 /* initialize ROM values as needed. */ \ 465 }; \ 466 DEVICE_DT_INST_DEFINE(inst, \ 467 my_dev_init_function, \ 468 NULL, \ 469 &my_data_##inst, \ 470 &my_cfg_##inst, \ 471 MY_DEV_INIT_LEVEL, MY_DEV_INIT_PRIORITY, \ 472 &my_api_funcs); 473 474 Notice the use of APIs like :c:func:`DT_INST_PROP` and 475 :c:func:`DEVICE_DT_INST_DEFINE` to access devicetree node data. These 476 APIs retrieve data from the devicetree for instance number ``inst`` of 477 the node with compatible determined by ``DT_DRV_COMPAT``. 478 479 Finally, pass the instantiation macro to :c:func:`DT_INST_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY`: 480 481 .. code-block:: c 482 483 /* Call the device creation macro for each instance: */ 484 DT_INST_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY(CREATE_MY_DEVICE) 485 486 ``DT_INST_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY`` expands to code which calls 487 ``CREATE_MY_DEVICE`` once for each enabled node with the compatible determined 488 by ``DT_DRV_COMPAT``. It does not append a semicolon to the end of the 489 expansion of ``CREATE_MY_DEVICE``, so the macro's expansion must end in a 490 semicolon or function definition to support multiple devices. 491
^ Jared Wolff Example Zephyr Driver repo
Proprietor and lead engineer of Circuitdojo, Jared Wolff has a custom Zephyr device driver underway at Github:
This driver's directory structure as of 2021-08-16 looks like:
air-quality-wing-zephyr-drivers/ . | . +------------+-----------------------+-------------+-------+-----------------+ . | | | | | | . CMakeLists.txt | | | | | . Kconfig | | | | | . README.md drivers/ dts/ include/ lib/ zephyr/ . | | | | | . +------------+--------+-------+ bindings/ aqw.h CMakeLists.txt module.yml . | | | | Kconfig . CMakeLists.txt sgp40/ shtc3/ | aqw.c . Kconfig | | | . CMakeLists.txt CMakeLists.txt sensirion,sgp40yaml . Kconfig Kconfig sensirion,shtc3.yaml . sgp40.c shtc3.c . sgp40.h shtc3.h .
Jared has also shared an AQW driver demo] code project on Github. The demo has a top level Kconfig file whose active stanzas number one, and point to 'Kconfig.zephyr'. This Kconfig file is found in the given Zephyr project source tree, at its top level. There is a lot of information in Kconfig.zephyr in the form of comments. But question now, following Kionix work patch file from Nordic team member Sigurd is, how to inform cmake with include paths, such that a Zephyr app main.c file can include an out-of-tree driver header file?
^ Jared Wolff AQW demo
CircuitDojo proprietor and lead engineer Jared Wolff describes writing an out-of-tree driver, and a separate Zephyr based app, the AQW demo. In 2021-08-19 community form post thread, reply 16 of 22 Jared mentions both "app separate from [out of tree] driver" and "app with driver files contained therein". Only a brief mention. Jared's AQW demo app appears to be separate. Here is the `tree` dump of dirs and files for this demo:
ted@localhost:~/projects/embedded/ncs/zephyr/samples/sandbox-de-ted/jared-wolff/demo$ tree -R . ├── boards │ ├── nrf52840dk_nrf52840.conf │ └── nrf52840dk_nrf52840.overlay ├── build │ ├── CMakeCache.txt │ ├── CMakeFiles │ │ └── cmake.check_cache │ ├── Kconfig │ │ └── Kconfig.modules │ ├── zephyrhttps://community.jaredwolff.com/d/147-undefined-driver-enable-symbols-when-adding-local-driver-and-kconfig/17 │ │ └── include │ │ └── generated │ │ ├── snippets-noinit.ld │ │ ├── snippets-ram-sections.ld │ │ ├── snippets-rodata.ld │ │ ├── snippets-rom-start.ld │ │ ├── snippets-rwdata.ld │ │ └── snippets-sections.ld │ ├── zephyr_modules.txt │ └── zephyr_settings.txt ├── CMakeLists.txt ├── Kconfig ├── prj.conf ├── prj.debug.conf ├── prj.release.conf ├── README.md ├── src │ └── main.c ├── west.yml └── z--build-messages-001--first-build.txt 8 directories, 22 files ted@localhost:~/projects/embedded/ncs/zephyr/samples/sandbox-de-ted/jared-wolff/demo$ find . -name Kconfig ./build/Kconfig ./Kconfig
Also searched for instances of Kconfig, of which there are several in the out-of-tree driver dirs and files, but only one of interest in the demo. We can disregard './build/Kconfig' in the tail end of the above shell excerpt because cmake and or Zephyr build process creates this directory named 'build', in the file system directory where the build command is issued.
An excerpt of Jared's most telling reply to date is here:
jaredwolff 5 days ago Edited Here’s the file structure from the Air Quality Wing drivers repository. The most critical files are module.yml and top level CMakeLists.txt and Kconfig. |____dts | |____bindings | | |____sensirion,shtc3.yaml | | |____sensirion,sgp40.yaml |____CMakeLists.txt |____drivers | |____CMakeLists.txt | |____Kconfig | |____shtc3 | | |____shtc3.c | | |____CMakeLists.txt | | |____Kconfig | | |____shtc3.h | |____sgp40 | | |____sgp40.h | | |____CMakeLists.txt | | |____Kconfig | | |____sgp40.c |____include | |____aqw.h |____Kconfig |____README.md |____lib | |____CMakeLists.txt | |____Kconfig | |____aqw.c |____zephyr | |____module.yml If you were, per-se, going to add an application, I would create a folder within this root and call it app (or whatever you like) and put your application Kconfig CMakeLists.txt src/main.c etc. -rw-r--r-- 1 user staff 342 Aug 19 19:34 CMakeLists.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 user staff 124 Aug 19 19:34 Kconfig -rw-r--r-- 1 user staff 34 Aug 19 19:34 README.md drwxr-xr-x 6 user staff 192 Aug 19 19:34 drivers drwxr-xr-x 3 user staff 96 Aug 19 19:34 dts drwxr-xr-x 3 user staff 96 Aug 19 19:34 include drwxr-xr-x 5 user staff 160 Aug 19 19:34 lib drwxr-xr-x 3 user staff 96 Aug 19 19:34 zephyr drwxr-xr-x 3 user staff 96 Aug 19 19:34 app It’s important to understand how the Kconfig and Cmakelists.txt trickle down and work during compilation. If you have zephyr/module.yml configured properly ./CMakeLists.txt should be processed first before your application. This is critical for loading drivers correctly. I can’t stress enough looking at some of these repos to see how they’re formatted. It takes a bit of noodling but once you get it you’ll be on your way.
^ Zephyr Driver versus Zephyr Module
Interesting call for help from one Thomas Oggiers and responses from one Simon and another person and collaborator tejlmand:
^ Zephyr Standard Files to Amend for New Driver
Starting review of Zephyr driver files
~/projects/embedded/ncs/zephyr/drivers/sensor
, file Kconfig
is about 215 lines long and appears to source (has stanzas beginning with 'source') for each extent driver. First few drivers sourced in this Kconfig file are:
39 comment "Device Drivers" 40 41 source "drivers/sensor/adt7420/Kconfig" 42 43 source "drivers/sensor/adxl345/Kconfig" 44 45 source "drivers/sensor/adxl362/Kconfig" 46 47 source "drivers/sensor/adxl372/Kconfig" 48 49 source "drivers/sensor/ak8975/Kconfig" 50 51 source "drivers/sensor/amg88xx/Kconfig" 52 53 source "drivers/sensor/ams_iAQcore/Kconfig"
Similarly so for the CMakeLists.txt
file here.
May be important to specify, for a Zephyr application, a device tree root. Zephyr documentation regarding development has a section on this which Ted copies an excerpt here:
Devicetree Definitions Devicetree directory trees are found in APPLICATION_SOURCE_DIR, BOARD_DIR, and ZEPHYR_BASE, but additional trees, or DTS_ROOTs, can be added by creating this directory tree: include/ dts/common/ dts/arm/ dts/ dts/bindings/ Where ‘arm’ is changed to the appropriate architecture. Each directory is optional. The binding directory contains bindings and the other directories contain files that can be included from DT sources. Once the directory structure is in place, you can use it by specifying its location through the DTS_ROOT CMake Cache variable: Using west: west build -b <board name> -- -DDTS_ROOT=<path to dts root> Using CMake and ninja: cmake -B build -GNinja -DBOARD=<board name> -DDTS_ROOT=<path to dts root> . ninja -C build You can also define the variable in the application CMakeLists.txt file. Make sure to do so before pulling in the Zephyr boilerplate with find_package(Zephyr ...). Note When specifying DTS_ROOT in a CMakeLists.txt, then an absolute path must be provided, for example list(APPEND DTS_ROOT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/<extra-dts-root>. When using -DDTS_ROOT=<dts-root> both absolute and relative paths can be used. Relative paths are treated relatively to the application directory.
