Same is true for docs about current silicon ... but the clock stretching doesn't prevent those FIFO problems, and repeated starts are barely enough to support older versions of SMBus. Is that a *general* mechanism for repeated starts? Or is it just the current/limited one where there can be at most two segments in any combined message, going to the same slave address ... a write of up to 3 bytes (assuming 7bit addressses) then a longer read? Either way: driver updates needed for that! (I'd call clock stretching to prevent those FIFO issues just a bugfix, myself. It should need no driver updates.) > The TWI is now also connected to a PDC, so we can set-up a DMA buffer > for the TWI receives and transmits. Using DMA also implies driver updates. Maybe the best answer would be to remove this and have a g20-specific driver later. - Dave _______________________________________________ i2c mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/i2c
