Re: [Gumstix-users] NSSP driver available?

[Craig H. <cr...@hu...>]

Mark hi.  There is NSSP/ASSP stuff in the current kernel we ship with. =20=

I'm currently in the midst of migrating from 2.6.7 to 2.6.9 (which=20
rolls a lot of PXA/arm stuff into the mainline kernel), and when I get=20=

there, I'll be using the bkpxa NSSP/ASSP patch (of which I think an=20
earlier version forms the basis of the current support).  Basically all=20=

this does is define a bunch of addresses of NSSP registers and makes=20
them available to the kernel.  You'll still likely have to write a=20
kernel driver for whatever it is you're trying to do with the=20
biometrics sensor.  Should be straightforward though in theory.  I may=20=

actually be delving into the NSSP stuff in more detail than merely in=20
applying the patch in the next couple weeks though, as we've got a=20
prototype gumstix in the lab now which has a device hanging off NSSP.
