Usage

Overview

I2C is a two-wire bus developed by Philips used for connecting integrated circuits. It is commonly used for connecting devices such as EEPROMs, temperature sensors, fan controllers, real-time clocks, tuners, and other types of integrated circuits.

The iic driver provides a uniform programming interface layer between I2C master controllers and various I2C slave devices. Each I2C master controller attaches an iic framework; several slave devices can then be attached to the iic bus.

All I2C slave devices are uniquely identified by the address on the bus. The master accesses a particular slave device using its address. Devices are found on the bus using a sophisticated scanning routine which attempts to identify commonly available devices. On other machines (such as sparc64 and macppc) where the machine ROM supplies a list of I2C devices, that list is used instead.

System Management Bus (SMBus) protocol is also supported by emulating it with the I2C commands.
