從 2.6.27-davinci1 開始，由於引進了新的 i2c framework，導致 dm6446evm 上許多走 msp430 的週邊都不能用了，例如 rtc-davinci-evm 與 IR receiver 等等。到今天 2.6.32 都快 release 了，還是沒有人把 driver port 過去...

沒辦法，公司產品需要，所以咧... 只好自己動手啦！（這也是 Open Source 社群最有趣的地方！）

悲慘的是，寫好 driver、測試成功以後，居然 linux-davinci 的 mailing-list 不給我寄 @@ 所以只好先放在公司的 git repository 上啦。不過這個網址只是暫時的，也許過一陣子會改...

English Version

Start from 2.6.27-davinci1, linux introduced the new i2c framework, which causes many peripherals of the msp430 chip on dm6446evm stop working, such as rtc-davinci-evm and the IR receiver. As for today, although the 2.6.32 is about to get released, but the driver is still stays unusable...

Too bad, my company just uses dm6446 in our product, which I just have to port them by my own! (Which is the major fun for an Open Source community!)

But what bothers me is that, after I successfully wrote the driver, and verified it's working great, I cannot submit it on the linux-davinci mailing-list due to some unknown error (used to be able to send a mail there...) @@ so i just have to put the files on my company's local git server. However this is a temporary domain name, it may or may not be changed later, anyway.
