The good news is that the > datasheet is available, that will help a lot. Is it possible for you to estimate time and effort for writing the driver? I don't really have experience in Linux driver writing so far. How much help could one expect? Are there other people interested in or willing to write the driver? I considered asking people from Linux Driver Project for assistance... Sorry for asking probably silly questions, I am new to the kernel development process. Regards, Andreas
