Changing SMBUS of WGI210 with I2C

48 Views

Hi, Intel

I'm designing custom Hardware (OS: Linux) with WGI210 for 1G ethernet functionality.

Q1. I am asking whether it is possible to replace SMBUS of WGI210 with I2C.

Q2. If designing with I2C is possible, how to set individual sub-addresses for 4 WGI210 is possible.

Q3. If n WGI210s are connected to one SMBus, and the CPU and WGI210s are each connected to n WGI210s via n lanes of PCIe, how can the CPU access (address) WGI210 separately even though there is no external SMBus address hardware setting pin on the WGi210?

The capture below is the custom Hardware Block diagram I plan to design.

Regards,
