Thank-you As for trying the detect-script, I might not be able to try it because my mips platform does not have enough room in flash to hold perl. I may be able to use an nfs share. I will let you know. (as for the "reserved" register, I don't see what harm it could have to use it as another way to confirm that the correct chip is present; if a problem shows up in the future, it can be changed) -----Original Message----- From: Jean Delvare [mailto:khali at linux-fr.org] Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 3:49 PM To: Anthony Petillo Cc: LM Sensors Subject: Re: I am developing a driver for MAX6900 (RTC chip) > just to let you know, its okay to put my name on the new drivers list: > Anthony Petillo and can you please put me on the mailing list. > > I will be developing the driver for Linux kernel version 2.4 only. OK, I've added this information on our "New drivers" page. I also added MAX6900 detection to our sensors-detect script. Could you please give it a try and confirm it works for you? (BTW, do you think that the "reserved" register at 0x97 could be used for identification? According to the datasheet, it looks like a read-only register that should always return 0x07, although it has a write address too. Strange...)
