Take a look at the following repository, you may find some useful scripts and of course, propose new ideas for testing http://dev.omapzoom.org/?p=richo/device_driver_test.git;a=summary Best Regards Abraham _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
