This is a proof-of-concept backend which acts like an EEPROM on the connected

I2C bus. The memory contents can be modified from userspace via this file

|
||||
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.
