I guess that the "EXTREMELY URGENT" on the package helps ;) although it wasn't that urgent after all - I'm sure I'd have survived one more day. I could test the board under Windows XP - not as easily as it would seem. I had to manually enable IRQ on the parallel port, or the evaluation software wouldn't be able to detect the chip. For some reason, Windows XP had interrupts disabled by default on the parallel port so it wasn't working. After enabling the IRQ it's all OK. I played around a bit with the evaluation software, it's so fun seeing temperatures raising when I put my finger on the chip and transistor respectively. I'll now be moving back to Linux and try to get the board working there. I don't know exactly how to do that. I know we have some modules for talking to i2c devices other the parallel port, but I couldn't get them to work. One of them (i2c-pport.o) doesn't present any device on the bus, the other one (i2c-philips-par) show a chip at each address, full of zeroes each time - so this must be wrong too. I'll be investigating that now. However, I'm much more knowledged about i2c client chips than about i2c bus masters, so I don't know exactly where to start from. Has anyone on the list experience with ADM eval boards? Thanks a lot Sean! I'll tell you as soon as I can get the board working under Linux. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
