The routines in rom are a driver.  The routines for the TI-Protocol IS a
driver.  Thats what i said short hand.

Yeah.  A device driver for linux, or any other OS is a section of code that
defines how things are sent.  Like the parallel port driver.

To better define it, both ways are right.  Most old linux device drivers
will refer to the protocol the driver is for, like the SPP Protocol driver
since the standard parallel can support many different protocols, but only
one is called that...  Many times in old source, the specific protocol is
used for the driver name instead of the port.  If I were to say I had PP
driver code, you'd have to ask is it SPP/EPP/ECP 1.5/7...  Now days, lots
of people come up with new ideas every day.  its just hard to explain.

Since saying TI-protocol means the way bytes are sent on the link port, you
should write that also.  The DSP's that TI makes use a 3 wire serial bus.
:)  and they don't include a protocol other than the standard
LRCK,SCLK,MCLK but that has to be made my the user

VAT would be considered software, but anyway.  :)
