The sleep I removed there only delays the time between the reset pulse and the function exiting, it doesn't populate the "slave_present" variable with a different value. The reset pulse and the wait that the ds1wm implements (by raising an interrupt at the end of it all) is spec'ed on the 1-wire specification, and the DS1WM_TIMEOUT is a really long time. So there should be plenty of time for the slaves to acknowledge the reset and participate in further communications. So here's my hunch. We observed this here on our circuit too. It is possible that the pull-up resistor on your circuit is too resistive which would make the slave device fail to properly come back to life after the reset pulse (bus shorted to the ground) when the drain opens, and hence not able to cope well with the search that follows. The 1ms wait basically gives the slave(s) time to charge up again (with the drain open, the voltage is high). The weird thing is that the ds1wm_reset function returns 0, since the while loop executes more than once, so it did find a slave (slave_present obtained from the PDR status bit), so the slave is kinda there... But the search fails somehow after that. Maybe there is something in your slave's spec sheet that could help, although the ds1wm reset timings. So I still think the debug trace and knowing if you have only one slave on the bus would help me figure this out. New question: what slave(s)? is it the DS2760? PS: there are also controls in the DS1WM_CNTRL register that has to do with strong-pull-ups which are just not used by the driver yet. refer to: http://datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/DS1WM.pdf > > Regards, > Paul > > --- On Fri, 24/6/11, Jean-Fran?ois Dagenais wrote: > >> From: Jean-Fran?ois Dagenais >> Subject: Re: w1/ds1wm regression after 2.6.39: "bus error, retrying" >> To: "Paul Parsons" >> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, johnpol@2ka.mipt.ru >> Date: Friday, 24 June, 2011, 17:15 >> Hi Paul, >> >> Sorry to hear that. 2.6.39's ds1wm driver did not support >> dynamically finding the slaves on the bus, it would limit >> it's search to 1 and exit.
