some ALSA drivers use their own i2c functions, although there is a generic i2c layer on linux kernel. for example, delta.c or ews.c of ice1712 driver use i2c (SPI) transfer (which calls ak4xxx-adda.c). but it's rather complex to refer... the i2c transfer is really easy to implement. do just like the spec says. a pseudo code is like below. chip_select_low(); udelay(1); for (i = 15; i >= 0; i--) { set_bit_clock(0); udelay(1); if (value_to_send & (1 << i)) set_bit_data(1); else set_bit_data(0); udelay(1); set_bit_clock(0); udelay(1); } chip_select_high(); > does sound/drivers/dummy.c makes sense for such a driver ??? the dummy driver is irrelevant to the BUS type, so it makes some sense to read the code :) Takashi ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
