Hello Greg,
MPIO project team (mpio.sf.net) has been working on MPIO players support in linux. There is a module for providing character special device for access MPIO player from user space software. And issue is that, it is almost the same as rio500 usb driver. Thus, we would like to do the following:
(1) To reuse code of rio500 with small additions/improvements like endpoints and input/output buffers size autodetect. But we definitely don't want to have one driver for rio500 and mpio devices called rio500. So, probably we have to move common code to some stand alone object file which may be used as rio500 driver as well mpio one.
(2) To include result mpio module to kernel. This would be big progress for MPIO project.
How about:
(3) rewrite MPIO code to use libusb/usbfs to not require any kernel
module at all.
Could that be possible? Is there anything that you need to do thatWell, you're right. Mpio might be changed to use libusb. There is nothing special, that should be done in kernel.
requires a kernel module? In looking at the rio500 driver, it can all
be done from userspace too, right?
thanks,
greg k-h
Markus, what do you think about?
