There is a generic GPIO framework in the make. Search the linux-kernel mailing list archives. > Maybe to connect the chip's GPIO to something and request its irq ? Yes, the GPIO somehow needs to generate an IRQ. On most embedded machines you can usually tell the GPIO controller you want that, on PC you usually have to wire up something yourself. > Do you know if someone already did this ? Some 15 years ago. Intel 8255 programmable peripheral interface with some glue logic wired to an ISA bus. I think I still have the card somewhere, but it's hardly useful today anymore. Erik -- They're all fools.
