Yes, I think there are quite a few tasks for which the "IOWarrior" and the FoxBoard could be the perfect team. For those who don't know that device, here is a link : http://www.codemercs.de/E_index.html to the company who produces it. There is an extensive Datasheet for the device on the download-pages for the IOWarrior. Codemercs have always been very helpful in the process of creating a linux-driver. They provided hardware-samples and a full documentation on the USB-protocol for the device. They also host an active forum for their products. (If I sound too enthusiastic: No I'm not on their payroll!) I would be great if the Kernel-Module for the device could be added to the Kernel 2.6-branch of the the FoxBoard-SDK. (There isn't any working code for the IOWarrior on Kernel-Version 2.4. sorry,) The iowarrior-module is actually part of the standard Linux-Kernel as of version 2.6.22, but since I don't think the Fox-SDK will be updated to this or a newer version in the near furture, it would be nice to have the backport of this driver in the SDK. I will be happy to send the sources and install-instructions to anybody who is interested. > so I would ask to you if you can add more info on your web > site so I'll link it on the Dev.Workshop page > (http://www.acmesystems.it/?id=33) or, if you prefere, I can get your > material to make a new tutorial on the Acme site. A HowTo-Style tutorial for the device already exists. The only thing that has to be added is a short "IOWarrior on the Foxboard" section. (Mainly because we don't have "udev" on the FoxBoard). I will send the current tutorial along with the Kernel-Module-Code to anybody who is interested. Eberhard
