Actually the guy who specifies our products sent out a mail on an internal list asking for this functionality, which I unwisely stepped up to deliver. I should've just sat on my hands. | even the LED is superfluous. we should ignore it. (as such i don't see an mpu | being needed to do anything with the LED while charging - why? we don't need to This pretty nicely makes my point, we should not be arguing at this late stage about simple device behaviours that should have been specified from the start. This is a huge morale suckage that puts us in a place that actually doing anything that has to make any assertions into any of the huge undefined spaces invites nothing but armchair opinions about how it should have been done differently. | in the end we dont have a spec. we have an existing platform we are stuck with | - for better or worse. if anything software should simply adjust to it and make | do. don't try and do things the hardware just won't be good at. some things are | raw requirements for the hardware, and we just can't ship without it, others | are entirely soft. :) This is not a way forward. The lack of adequate marching orders affects things like the build system as I mentioned that is a pure software issue already. In particular when it comes to the next platform, we can participate in specification formulation but ultimately once that is done, the decision about MPU or not falls out of the needs of a truly detailed functional spec, not out of your personal opinion formed some distance from, eg, pcf50633.c. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkhI8gAACgkQOjLpvpq7dMpZ9wCfVuZabfu2mQFunUdnfDXJJ+D0 Ks4An2EUBp30xxVHYm/XMEz5etZIObDu =6V6F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
