Linux I2C slave EEPROM backend
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
by Wolfram Sang <wsa@sang-engineering.com> in 2014-20
|
|
|
|
This backend simulates an EEPROM on the connected I2C bus. Its memory contents
|
|
can be accessed from userspace via this file located in sysfs::
|
|
|
|
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/<device-directory>/slave-eeprom
|
|
|
|
The following types are available: 24c02, 24c32, 24c64, and 24c512. Read-only
|
|
variants are also supported. The name needed for instantiating has the form
|
|
'slave-<type>[ro]'. Examples follow:
|
|
|
|
24c02, read/write, address 0x64:
|
|
# echo slave-24c02 0x1064 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
|
|
|
|
24c512, read-only, address 0x42:
|
|
# echo slave-24c512ro 0x1042 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
|
|
|
|
You can also preload data during boot if a device-property named
|
|
'firmware-name' contains a valid filename (DT or ACPI only).
|
|
|
|
As of 2015, Linux doesn't support poll on binary sysfs files, so there is no
|
|
notification when another master changed the content.
