For the moment, it would be nice for it to work on all combinations of B1 and C1. The B1s are still in use by developers. > Is there any way to tell what kind of accelerometer device the board > has hooked up, other than probing the device? [...] Not without probing. If the board ID is C, then it will have the new chip. If the board ID is B then it may have the old or the new chip, but most likely the old chip. If the board ID is B and the chip is old, then the pullups on SCL and SDA are likely to be missing. OpenFirmware does this [1] by probing address 0x3a at 25 kHz bus rate, and if that fails to elicit a response it configures the bus speed for 400 kHz and the address to 0x32. 1. http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/openfirmware/browser/cpu/arm/olpc/accelerometer.fth#L143 -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
