I'm using an iMX.257 CPU. According the Feature list there is hardware
supporting the I²C bus. I hope it is not so CPU-hungry

Nevertheless, I've tested the USB adapter DS9490R which even took more CPU
load as the DS2482

Hmm, I never looked into the OWFS details, but I use the CAPI with one
OW_init() and an OW_get() per loop & device. So I hope it never uses "Search
ROM" and only uses "Match ROM"

OK, this is the benefit of this faster CPU

I'm reading them directly and guessing I have to, because they are not
powered (2-wires connection only, no Vcc). But it's a good idea to try it...

Thanks
