Hi Mike

Hi all,
I use the Foxboard (FoxGM) with the alpha firmware for a project at school.
Is
there a possibility to monitor the button press (or any GPIO ports/pins
configured as digital input) without polling it?
your question is really an interest one.
Looking inside foxbone syscall
(http://svnweb.tuxfamily.org/filedetails.php?repname=crisos/svn&path=%2Ftrunk%2Ftarget%2Flinux%2Fetrax%2Fpatches-2.6.19%2F500-foxbone_syscall.patch&rev=57&sc=0)
there are some interrupt related stuff, investigate into it a bit you
can see a call to request_irq documented here:
http://www.silicontao.com/ProgrammingGuide/GNU_function_list/request_irq.html
Should be pretty to see some example code who use IRQ on foxboard!
Please let us know your experience
At the moment I do the following

Any better solution is highly appreciated!
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Mike
