the series gets rid of the fragile binary config data and handle_pdata() - I like it, but haven't tested yet is there a reference to the specification of the new config format? the format of the old pdata->config was immediately obvious from reading the source, the new way not so much...
It's basically: OBP_RAW V1 family_id variant_id version build x_size y_size num_objects info_block_crc config_crc <type> <instance> <num_bytes> <object_bytes...> (repeat last line for each object/instance) Everything is ASCII hex. It's designed to be simple to parse/generate. We also have an INI like format called xcfg which is much friendlier to humans, but parsing that in a kernel driver would be a bit horrid. I can point you to a bit of code that writes it: https://github.com/atmel-maxtouch/obp-utils/blob/master/src/libmaxtouch/config.c#L39 It will not read the config CRC, but you can get that from dmesg output (it's in T6 messages). You can try the mxt-app tool without the driver changes via i2c-dev, just run it like "mxt-app -d2 -a4b" (for /dev/i2c-2, addr 4b). cheers -- Nick Dyer Senior Software Engineer, ITDev Hardware and Software Development Consultancy
