All,
I'm currently working on adding a driver for an RTC into our kernel.
The chip I'm working with is the Dallas Semiconductor DS1340 and I've
seen drivers for the ds1337 and ds1338 so they're of the same flavor.
I'm not worried about the actual implementation of the driver, but I
want to make sure I'm making use of it in the smartest way possible. I
saw some chatter on the mailing list regarding davinci-rtc and saw that
it was removed in August 2008. Where was the RTC handling moved to? I
want to try and keep the same standard but the kernel I'm using still
calls for davinci-rtc when I compile in davinci-rtc support.
I know that davinci-rtc made use of the msp430 (which I don't have in my
design) so I could replace all those calls with that for the ds1340, but
I think that's a band-aid that'll introduce woes whenever (if ever) we
migrate to a different kernel version. Has anybody integrated their own
rtc chip into their design? I could always just not select Davinci-rtc
from Kconfig and use my own driver and create a device node that way but
if there is a better way I'd like to do it that way instead.
Sorry for the verbage...and thanks for any suggestions.
BJ
