Question

VL53L9CX linux driver

Hello,

 

I am searching for a way to configure the VL53L9CX under linux using I2C.

For previous sensors, a platform-independant driver library was available, but I am failing to find such a library here.

 

How could I get a library that runs under linux, or even just a library without HAL so I can implement it myself using ioctl?

 

Cheers,

Daniel

I have a very basic implementation that works on Raspberry Pi 4 that might be able to get you started.
