Bus segments behind multiplexers are very real. * I am surprised that you use the term "trunk" for all segments, be they in front of or behind multiplexers. When I think of a multiplexer, I designate the segment between the controller and the multiplexer as the trunk, and the segments behind the multiplexer as branches. Other than that I am rather happy with your page, which explains the problem and the proposed solution clearly. -- Jean Delvare -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
