Your clip eliminated the part about this being related to Linux. Linux doesn't want one-off implementations of something like an ADC or PWM driver where you'd essentially be learning the specifics of every driver for every new implementation. Instead, Linux maintainers seek to have implementations of such drivers fall into a bit more generic class and share some portion of the implementation with other devices with similar peripheral features. BeagleBoard.org believes the best way to support the community in the long term is to align with those goals of Linux, rather than stop at simply exposing the hardware features. There are shorter-term efforts at times to expose such features within the community, but we try to stay aligned on the end-game, which is aligned with the goals of Linux itself. > > -- > For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "BeagleBoard" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
