Yeah, I was thinking this too.

Writing a "proprietary" Kernel driver os one thing,
supporting more then one OS another...

OK

I was reading about the I²C Protoco, SMBus, 1-Wire, LVDS, and CAN and my
brain is smiking...  Asl already sayed, I am electronic  engineer  since
over 10 years but have never worked in this job in the  industry,  so  I
have learn MANY things at once to start my project.

Mean, there is NOTHING easy or trivial...
