Currently, no. However, Apple just posted the source to their new kernel which, among other things, contain a driver for this chip. So that means that it is no-longer undocumented and that someone can write a driver for Linux quite easily. The basic DBDMA stuff should be similar to the current AWACS driver, but the chip configuration (source selection, volume, etc...) has to go thru the new KeyLargo I2C bus instead of the old davbus. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
