Linux I2C slave EEPROM backend |
|
============================== |
|
|
|

|
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.
