Jean, Is there a preferred format? "23 6c dc 1c 00 00 00 43" or "236cdc1c00000043" or "0x23 0x6c 0xdc 0x1c 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x43" Or, since it can be thought of as a 64 bit number "0x236cdc1c00000043" I prefer the last one.

Please make it a text file. Binary files in sysfs are supposed to be an exception, not the rule. Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
