I have been writing a guide on how to do this. Get the following patches: http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/devel/i2c/linux-2.6/linux-2.6.0-test9-i2c-doc-porting-clients.diff http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/devel/i2c/linux-2.6/linux-2.6.0-test9-i2c-doc-sysfs-interface.diff http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/devel/i2c/linux-2.6/linux-2.6.0-test9-i2c-doc-writing-clients.diff And apply them to your 2.6 kernel tree. Once your documentation is up-to-date, you should be able to start working. Porting drivers isn't really hard, although it helps a lot if you have already written such a driver. Feel free to ask questions here. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
