+## Using dummy_iio driver
+For platforms without IIO hardware the iio_dummy driver can be used. You can
+add the driver by either rebuilding the kernel with IIO component enabled or
+just building the IIO modules and load them.  You must add the following config
+fragment. Known to work for kernel 3.19 and later.
+<pre><code>
 CONFIG_IIO_DUMMY_EVGEN=m
 CONFIG_IIO_SIMPLE_DUMMY=m
 CONFIG_IIO_SIMPLE_DUMMY_EVENTS=y

+### Add driver to kernel
+Boot with new kernel, then load modules

+### Load kernel modules
+Depending our your kernel config, some of these modules may already be loaded.
