Re: [Soekris] Anyone still want a net6501 GPIO driver for Linux?
Alright. ASCII and ye shall receive. Two versions: 1) CentOS 7 rpm build tree: https://github.com/elfchief/net6501-centos7-kernel 1.5) You can just take SOURCES/soekris-net6501.patch from that if you want a patch that should work in most kernel trees (don't forget to update your kernel config 2) https://github.com/elfchief/net6501-standalone -- "make && make load" should get you going. VERY lightly tested, though. Usage examples and details and such are in the README.md of the first repository. Questions/comments/complaints/patches all welcome! -j p.s. Only tested under 3.10 kernels, but I suspect will work under most modern kernels ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech

Interest in the net6501 seems to have cooled, though, so don't want to spend time getting it together for more general consumption if I'm the only one that has any desire to have it. ;) I also would be interested, whatever state it is in!!

My recommendation is to simply publish it as-is on a Github or Bitbucket repository, with a note that it is published as-is. In my experience, some repositories that were unused for years suddenly got attention later. In most cases, in few cases, I polished it at that time, but in quite I lost interest. But even in the later case, those who had interest appreciated that I took the time to publish them, even in non-polished format.
