On another note, would it be possible ...

To recap the conversation about the Cypress issue, I was personally able to provoke what looked like an issue with the Cypress device driver by sleeping the laptop. It didn't happen each time, but in ten sleep/awake cycles, I saw it once and figured that was good enough to write a bug report. Yes, unfortunately this test was run after the season was already underway. My preference would be to let FIRST determine how I/O will be done for the DS in upcoming years, and include sleep/awaken tests to verify it works as intended and document any workarounds or configuration issues that will improve the issue.
If the same HW is to be used and it is not possible to get the sleep issue fixed at the driver level, it should be possible to update the DS to restart the driver when it appears to be hung. Code to diagnose and restart the driver has not been written, or I'd gladly let encourage FIRST to release it. In general, I'd prefer to fix the root problem instead of bonking other SW over the head when they don't seem to be responding.
