And do you really want to Well I don't think that would be a problem and if we are talking led's its not going to happen more than a few time a second you have to see the thing flash. I don't want more code in the kernel than absolutely necessary all it takes is one bug. If you really want to make something that can't be done other than in the driver it's some type of streaming mode and then you have to have timers to control the speed. Think any card that needs to program sram based FPGA it would probably go many times faster than todays interface. -- Kenneth Johansson Ericsson AB Tel: +46 8 404 71 83 Borgafjordsgatan 9 Fax: +46 8 404 72 72 164 80 Stockholm kenneth.johansson@etx.ericsson.se ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
