Donation of an I2C host adapter to lm_sensors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



thanks for the offer.
I briefly reviewed the information about the product on your website.
It is a USB device, correct?

We'd like to know more about the software work required.
Must an i2c driver talk to the device through the "aardvark dll"
or will it work directly with the USB device?
Will the source for the DLL, or the API, be available and GPL'ed?

All our drivers are kernel modules. I'm not sure it's feasible or wise
to try and interface to a binary userspace library from a kernel driver.
In fact I'm sure it isn't.

If you could describe or sketch the SW and the interfaces, and what
software you'll be providing to us, and what you have in mind, 
we'll then like to discuss further how best to get involved.

thanks
mds
