Yes, since the module is integrated in i.MX27 that seems the way to go. > Is there any reason why an imx27 based board would not support this > driver? Are there any other chips that could use it, e.g. imx25 or > imx6? No, there's no reason for an i.mx27 board not to support this driver since the module doesn't have any external interfaces. I think other i.MX chips have similar devices but I am not sure to what extent they are compatible or not. Probably Sascha Hauer or Shawn Guo (already in CC) could tell better than me since they have a wider view on the i.MX range. Regards. -- Javier Martin Vista Silicon S.L.
