the i2c mailing list is dead for the sensors mailing list contact phil at netroedge.com I don't think any of the sensors drivers use irq's. There are a couple in the i2c package (grep irq kernel/*.c). I don't know if any of them are anything good enough to use for an example... we are working on bringing our drivers in line with 2.4/2.5 standards, I'm not sure which of those is the closest to your "elegant" standard... mds Markus Schorer wrote: > hi, > > i would like to join the linux-i2c ml. > > and my question is: ;-) > > i have a i2c controlled chip, that has a "data available" signal. > i've connected it to an interrupt. > how do i service the chip, eg read the data, in/from an interrupt? > > is this a case for a bottom half? what options do i have? > what is elegant? > > regards, >
