.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility can be used to perform raw data transfers (read or write) with devices
|
|
on the I2C bus. It can also scan the bus for available devices and reset the
|
|
I2C controller.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl d Ar direction"
|
|
.It Fl a Ar address
|
|
7-bit address on the I2C device to operate on (hex).
|
|
.It Fl b
|
|
binary mode - when performing a read operation, the data read from the device
|
|
is output in binary format on stdout; when doing a write, the binary data to
|
|
be written to the device is read from stdin.
|
|
.It Fl c Ar count
|
|
number of bytes to transfer (dec).
|
|
.It Fl d Ar r|w
|
|
transfer direction: r - read, w - write.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar device
|
|
I2C bus to use (default is /dev/iic0).
|
|
.It Fl m Ar ss|rs|no
|
|
addressing mode, i.e., I2C bus operations performed after the offset for the
|
|
transfer has been written to the device and before the actual read/write
|
|
operation. rs - repeated start; ss - stop start; no - none.
|
|
.It Fl n Ar skip_addr
|
|
skip address - address(es) to be skipped during bus scan.
|
|
There are two ways to specify addresses to ignore: by range 'a..b' or
|
|
using selected addresses 'a:b:c'. This option is available only when "-s" is
|
|
used.
|
|
.It Fl o Ar offset
|
|
offset within the device for data transfer (hex).
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
reset the controller.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
scan the bus for devices.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
be verbose.
|
|
.It Fl w Ar 0|8|16
|
|
device addressing width (in bits).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh WARNINGS
|
|
Great care must be taken when manipulating slave I2C devices with the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility. Often times important configuration data for the system is kept in
|
|
non-volatile but write enabled memories located on the I2C bus, for example
|
|
Ethernet hardware addresses, RAM module parameters (SPD), processor reset
|
|
configuration word etc.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is very easy to render the whole system unusable when such configuration
|
|
data is deleted or altered, so use the
|
|
.Dq -d w
|
|
(write) command only if you know exactly what you are doing.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Also avoid ungraceful interrupting of an ongoing transaction on the I2C bus,
|
|
as it can lead to potentially dangerous effects. Consider the following
|
|
scenario: when the host CPU is reset (for whatever reason) in the middle of a
|
|
started I2C transaction, the I2C slave device could be left in write mode
|
|
waiting for data or offset to arrive. When the CPU reinitializes itself and
|
|
talks to this I2C slave device again, the commands and other control info it
|
|
sends are treated by the slave device as data or offset it was waiting for,
|
|
and there's great potential for corruption if such a write is performed.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
Scan the default bus (/dev/iic0) for devices:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
i2c -s
|
|
.It
|
|
Scan the default bus (/dev/iic0) for devices and skip addresses 0x56 and
|
|
0x45.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
i2c -s -n 0x56:0x45
|
|
.It
|
|
Scan the default bus (/dev/iic0) for devices and skip address range
|
|
0x34 to 0x56.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
i2c -s -n 0x34..0x56
|
|
.It
|
|
Read 8 bytes of data from device at address 0x56 (e.g., an EEPROM):
|
|
.Pp
|
|
i2c -a 0x56 -d r -c 8
|
|
.It
|
|
Write 16 bytes of data from file data.bin to device 0x56 at offset 0x10:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
i2c -a 0x56 -d w -c 16 -o 0x10 -b < data.bin
|
|
.It
|
|
Copy 4 bytes between two EEPROMs (0x56 on /dev/iic1 to 0x57 on /dev/iic0):
|
|
.Pp
|
|
i2c -a 0x56 -f /dev/iic1 -d r -c 0x4 -b | i2c -a 0x57 -f /dev/iic0 -d w -c 4 -b
|
|
.It
|
|
Reset the controller:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
i2c -f /dev/iic1 -r
