I think creating the directory in the place where we want the files to stay in the long run is ok, if the plan is to add more drivers and make the base code more generic. We don't have to wait until it's too late and we absolutely need a framework ;-) The part I don't understand is how this relates to the regulator framework. Is there any overlap between the functionality provided by the smartreflex framework and the regulator framework? If so, would it be better to extend the existing framework so it can do smartreflex as well?
