Detailed Description

Multi Function Device Interfaces.

Since

3.6

Multi-function devices are external peripherals or on-SoC hardware blocks that expose functionalities that are handled by separate drivers. PMICs are a typical example, they often have e.g. an RTC, LED controller in addition to the regulators.

In the Zephyr Project and thus in the Bridle Project, an MFD driver is a type of device driver that handles devices with multiple functionalities, like a single chip that can perform different tasks, such as managing power, controlling GPIOs, or acting as an ADC. These drivers provide a unified interface for interacting with the device's various features.
