I think it'd be cool if you could remove HAL objects (pins & params) at runtime, without removing the module that owns them. This feature would make the hostmot2 driver quite a bit easier to configure; check this out. You could initialize all the FPGA I/O pins as GPIO inputs, and create a bit for each higher-level function (each instance of encoder, pwmgen, & stepgen) called "enable", initialized to false. The user could set (for example) hm2_5i20.0.encoder.00.enable to TRUE, and all the I/O pins for that encoder would stop being exported as GPIOs and start being used for the encoder instead. The encoder's HAL objects would appear and the GPIO HAL objects would disappear. That would be sweet. But in the absence of that feature, i have to do all the configuration at load-time, using cumbersome modparam text strings or structs preloaded into the FPGA RAM. - -- Sebastian Kuzminsky The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking. - -- Albert Einstein -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIEk6TRxgLDhu2PVMRAg+1AJ48jBKeYcQp+rL6RU0fA25jhcqv7wCfZ3oS BOIEi8eFnZdzr3BjfDWB6Vk= =2l1c -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
