* Question about own battery driver

Hey,

I am busy with creating a battery driver for an embedded system and want
to let my driver interface with the acpi interface.

Is there information available somewhere on how to do this or are there
drivers available I can use as example.

I have already looked to the sources in the kernel and at
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/ , but found nothing that could help me.

Thanks in advance,
Bart

Do you think your embedded system can accommodate ACPI subsystem,
which is huge.

Wat do you mean with huge? Is the kernel side or the user-space side
big?
My device uses an Intel PXA255 processor en has 64MB ram.

I have just seen that ACPI is not supported for ARM. Am I right?
What should be the right thing in this case? Write my own driver and use
an own interface to communicate with the driver, or is there some other
system in the kernel where my driver belongs and that I need to use.

Thanks,
Bart

No, it's not, just because of the size of ACPI.

Maybe you need to ask linux-arm ML.
