#27 New driver for HD44780 + C.H.I.P.

[Antonio Petricca]

I just wrote a new conectivity driver for C.H.I.P. board (http://getchip.com) based upon the Raspberry Pi module, but completely rewritten.

How can I submit it to the official source code repository?

lcdproc development has moved to gibhub:
https://github.com/lcdproc/lcdproc

However note, that now there exists a gpio connection type, that obsoletes
all the board specific CTs like raspberry pi.

HTH,
Harald

Thank you for your answer Harald, now I know the new GitHub project. :)

I would like to submit you the fact that my version of the connectivity module has no dependencies from other libraries (like libugpio).

Antonio

My code is enough generic to use GPIO simply changing the connection name.
I have inspected the LIBUGPIO code and it uses the same approach, the SYS
FS to address the GPIO pins.

Antonio

While this is nice, unfortunately having connection types for any SoC
out there just doesn't scale up. People should write connection types
using proper kernel APIs, ie portable code.

(Mind you, we already have a huge amount of buggy code, that nobody
maintains properly. We can't afford to add to that mess.)
