Hi,

Most interesting question!

What about CBUS GPIO support?

For bitbang mode (on the data lines) - yes. But for bitbang on CBUS - no.


I have sent a proposal a few weeks ago but Greg did not like special 
sysfs stuff :-P
He asked me to use the GPIO subsystem for the CBUS pins. I am out of 
time until july. But I still want and need CBUS support in parallel with 
serial/FIFO operation.


Regards

Philipp
