It'd also help if you could publish code along with your mail, in general people are much more likely to review concrete code. > In simple terms, this framework will offer something like this: > Current[1-N]_limit - set of current limits > Voltage[1-X]_limit - set of voltage limits What would the voltage limits be? Whatever is going on here there should be some integration with the regulator framework, modern regulators are often able to report when they go out of regulator and able to impose current limits.
