Various types of NDA existVarious types of NDA existPosted Sep 29, 2007 11:11 UTC (Sat) by farnz (guest, #17727)In reply to: To Greg Kroah-Hartman by Zoborov Parent article: The Linux Driver Project takes off NDAs vary quite considerably; the last NDA I was under for a chip was simply because the "documentation" consisted of the VHDL source for the various bits of chip, an e-mail address for the hardware team responsible, and a phone number to get hold of the team leader. I was permitted to use this information to document the chip on a "pins" basis; basically, I couldn't say how the chip did something, but I could say things like "the value in the register at offset 0x2c controls the width of the output pulse on pin 23. It's a count of the number of pulses of XTAL1 (wired between pins 5 and 6) for which pin 23 stays high". An NDA of this form would let Greg release both a driver and register-level documentation for the chip he's working on.
