loaded first. depmod should take care
of this.
-Documentation for this board is here:
+This driver used to attempt to set "open drain" from
+the GPIO driver. This is not allowed by the Atmel
+GPIO driver. In newer kernels it warns that this
+does not work. Open drain must be set by the
+Atmel pinctrl driver for Atmel GPIO controllers.
-http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/mlinux/using-mlinux/mlinux-using-accessory-cards/mtac-pulse-usage/
+Atmel calls "Open Drain" "MultiDriver".
-An init script can look in:
-/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/mtac_xdot.ko
+The lack of multidrive was verified in
+kernel 3.12.70, mLinux 4.1.1 with MTAC-PULSE-BP
+in slot AP1. The pin for AP1_NRESET is PB12.
+The AP2_NRESET is PB13.
-to find the driver.
+The device address for PIOB is 0xFFFF F600.
+The offset for register PIO_MDSR is 0x58.
+PIO_MDSR is Multi-Driver Status Register, and
+Multi-Driver is what Atmel calls Open Drain.

+This says that in 4.1.1 mLinux, no outputs for PIOB
+are set to multi-driver.
