Few questions - thanks in advance about bcm63xx-phone HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi

Q1: Yes you are right, both driver uses the same resources so they can't be loaded at the same time
Q2: Standard SPI driver is very slow. With the last version of kmod-bcm63xx-phone and kmod-bcm63xx-phone-dahdi, it is no more possible to use it.
At least one patch must be applied.
The patch 000-disable-spi-bcm63xx-module.patch
changes the kernel configuration and must be applied if symbol BCMPH_USE_SPI_DRIVER in file inc/config.h, is undefined.
The other patch 001-add-fn-to-spi-bcm63xx-for-quick-transfer.patch
must be used if symbol BCMPH_USE_SPI_DRIVER in file inc/config.h, is defined.
You can apply both patches or only one of them.
Whatever your choice you have to recompile the kernel and flash the firmware (that contains the kernel)
Patches are required for both kmod-bcm63xx-phone and kmod-bcm63xx-phone-dahdi
Q3: As i'm not an expert of Asterisk, i prefer not to provides config files. If you use kmod-bcm63xx-phone the example in README should be a good start.
Personnaly I use kmod-bcm63xx-phone because with dahdi caller id does not work with my phone (dahdi handles only Bell signaling with FXS lines)
Q4: Yes FXO ports are not handled. I don't intend to support FXO because i can't test (HG553 does not have any FXO port)
Q5: Yes i know that only one core is active with bcm6358. I've read that enabling the second core is tricky and beyond my skills.

Thanks a lot for detailed answer. Regarding FXO port I think about ADSL port:

ADSL port is not an FXO port !
And as there's no public documentation about Broadcom ADSL devices, it is a very difficult taks to make a driver for it !
