Drivers are very difficult to develop without actual hardware. Generally, the work goes quickly once we have the hardware. -Evaluation boards are fine. Real computer hardware is even better -because it let us do real-world testing over a longer period of time, -and also supports the project in general. +Evaluation boards are fine. Real computer hardware is much better though, +because it lets us do real-world testing over a longer period of time. +In many cases, the way a chipset is integrated in systems must be taken +into acount in the driver, and evaluation boards don't help much there. +Donation of usable computer hardware also supports the project in general, +so hardware which isn't directly related to the development of a hardware +monitoring driver, but can be used to build test systems, is welcome too. If you would like to make a donation, please contact us at sensors@stimpy.netroedge.com. Thanks! +Donations are listed in chronological order. Note that the person mentioned +is the one who holds the device now, which is not necesarily the one to who +the donation was sent in the first place.
