| 19 | Description | |
| 20 | ----------- | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | The LTC4215 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed | |
| 23 | from a live backplane. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | ||
| 26 | Usage Notes | |
| 27 | ----------- | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | This driver does not probe for LTC4215 devices, due to the fact that some | |
| 2d2a7cff JD |
30 | of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will have to |
| 31 | instantiate the devices explicitly. | |

| 33 | Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4215 at address 0x44 | |
| b04f2f7d MCC |
34 | on I2C bus #0:: |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | $ modprobe ltc4215 | |
| 37 | $ echo ltc4215 0x44 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-0/new_device | |

| 41 | ------------- | |

| 43 | The LTC4215 has built-in limits for overvoltage, undervoltage, and | |
| 44 | undercurrent warnings. This makes it very likely that the reference | |
| 45 | circuit will be used. | |
