Nobody was interested in doing it or saw the interest.

People building embedded systems write drivers and post them to the embedded lists. But they lack any incentive to follow through and get the drivers included in mainline. Getting drivers into mainline is a major hassle. <BR/><BR/>This seems to be changing now. The people making embedded chips are sponsoring drivers in the kernel in order to reduce the burden on the their customers. Previously the chip companies didn't provide much Linux support at all. This group has incentives to get their drivers included since they are receiving revenue from the chips.<BR/><BR/>This is a significant shift in how the embedded world operates.Jon Smirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070851719018470603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-977684764667858073.post-2633184088624412752007-10-05T13:09:00.000+01:002007-10-05T13:09:00.000+01:00Well, at least that would make some drivers for em...Well, at least that would make some drivers for embedded systems go to the main tree. That's quite rare nowadays (embedded systems builders are the leechers, they take the code but never contribute back).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
