Hi, Another thing: I noticed the i2c_bit_add_bus doesn't set SDA and SCL lines to a known levels. If the hw driver set them to 1 all is fine and the first START condition is detected correctly. But if they're set differently (for example, if both are zero), the START will not work. I'm not sure if the following patch isn't an overkill, though, and if the lack of initialization is a real problem which shows in practice and not only on my analyzer. In case you think it's needed: This patch makes i2c_bit_add_bus() initialize SDA and SCL lines as required by subsequent START condition.
