Description Darren Hart 2012-05-04 00:27:14 UTC 
The FRI2 BSP should enable and expose the functionality of the integrated accelerometer.
Comment 1 Darren Hart 2012-05-25 22:59:03 UTC 
The LIS331DLH accelerometer is connected to a CPLD I2C bus. Neither the accelerometer nor the bus have upstream drivers. The bus has a driver approaching inclusion. I am writing the accelerometer with input from 3 incomplete/not-upstream drivers for the device. This provents these from being enabled in the 1.2 timeframe. Bumping to 1.3.

Bumping the priority as I feel the FRI2 should be a flagship BSP for meta-intel as our most attractive Intel embedded device.
Comment 2 Darren Hart 2012-06-22 16:47:38 UTC 
This involves a major rewrite of the available driver as well as integration with additional similar drivers.
Comment 3 Darren Hart 2013-09-19 15:37:13 UTC 
The driver work is completed and we now just need to backport to 3.10, or wait for a 3.12+ linux-yocto. Not urgent.
Comment 4 Richard Purdie 2014-05-03 17:47:12 UTC 
Did this happen with 3.14?
Comment 5 Darren Hart 2014-06-09 22:48:04 UTC 
Yes, the driver is now upstream. The only remaining task is to create an industrial meta-data hierarchy and include it with the intel-core2-32 build as fri2 will use this MACHINE going forward as the EMGD driver is no longer supported on current kernels.
Comment 6 Darren Hart 2014-07-15 21:50:35 UTC 
TunnelCreek CPUs will be removed from the 1.7 release. As such, this BSP will not receive an update.
