Help interfacing with I2C bus via SerialIO driver on Windows 10

[JeffreyP]

Is anyone able to provide more information on how you can interface with an I2C device via the Intel Serial IO driver on Windows 10?

I have custom development board based on an Intel Atom x5-E3930 CPU. THe board exposes several I2C, SPI and UART busses to the OS via the Intel Serial IO driver. Post driver install I am able to see the correct number of advertised bus nodes in device manager.

Am I correct to assume that, via the SerialIO driver, all of these devices should be compliant with the SpbCx (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/spb/spb-framework-extension) interface defined by Microsoft? If so, does anyone know if there are useful guidelines, documentation, code samples, or any other type of information (from Intel, Microsoft, or otherwise) on accessing devices through these extensions?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
