to make it working with more than one device shouldn't be hard once it is going on.

Will ask the vendor, what's going on.

Yeah, you seem to sound right.

The register offset is according to the device specs. Of course i already found some wrong offsets etc, maybe this one's wrong too, probably.

It says, the base address is currently 500h

Working with this device, under NDA with the vendor.

Cool, won't be that long, just the bridge part remains, most other parts are done or do exist.
