DAC8771: Linux driver for DAC8771

Hello Albert,

We have some Linux driver support, but primarily for our Audio DAC devices where the Linux environment is a bit more pervasive. In the PLC space, where I imagine the DAC8771 will find it's home most of the time, I have not seen as significant deployment of the Linux platform - as such our support here is limited and we do not have an existing driver for the DAC8771.

There is a centralized team which can help us source such things, but I will need to check with them concerning what the timing would look like to develop and deploy such a driver. I believe I am also supporting this for you via your local FAE but I will update both the FAE and this thread when I get any information on the topic.

By when do you require the driver?

We've set up the interface between MCU & ADC/DAC EVM.

Firmware engineer is building up the ADC first because there is a firmware sample code from TI website.

is it possible to get the 8771 firmware in 1week?

Albert,

Unfortunately my team lacks much Linux experience as we are primarily an analog team and, therefore, must depend on another organization to source any Linux firmware or drivers. I am told that the cycle time for them is typically 6-8 weeks but I have not yet received a reply on what looks to be realistic.

1 week would be a pretty big stretch, though.
