How to use the I2C on ATOM Bay trail Board?

My board used E3845 and I used I2C0 to link one pca9534 to be used as an I2c to GPIO and one AT24HC04B to be used to save something important. The other I2Cs are not linked any devices.

I download the linux-stable kernel as the document tizen-ivi-m2-kernel-ltsi-linux-support-package-atom-e3800-gsg.pdf described. Made and updated the linux kernel.

Can anybody tell me how to use Baytrail's I2c? Please give me some advices or some source code for my reference.

Thank you!

Hello, suipingli:

Thank you for contacting Intel Embedded Community.

In order to better understand your consultation, we want to address the following questions:

Could you please tell us if the affected project is a third party one or it has been developed by you? In case that it is a third party design, please give us all the information related to it.

Could you please inform us the Operating System (OS) related to this situation?

Could you please let us know where do you download the driver related to this condition?

Please let us know all the information that should answer our questions.

Waiting for your update.

Best regards,

Carlos_A.

Hi, Carlos A,

The first , this project is developed by ourselves.

The second and third, the OS is Linux, the version is Linux localhost.localdomain 3.10.28-03142014-ltsi+ # 2 SMP Fri Aug 4 16:44:39 CST 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux. I download the linux-stable kernel as the document <<strong>tizen-ivi-m2-kernel-ltsi-linux-support-package-atom-e3800-gsg.pdf > described and updated the linux kernel by myself.

For the project used as an embedded plan, I deleted the i915 driver,then I can not find anything through i2cdetect tool. I found that x86 baytrail board do not use pure i2c, it uses i2c through gpio.

Can you tell me how to use pure i2c?

Thanks.

hi, Carlos A,

I referenced the document which you toled me. And I writed the byt-i2c.c driver, but it still not worked right.

I'll past my code below, please tell me what matter about it, thanks.

}

hi Carlos A,

Another question about this. When I input lspci command, I got the message like follows. I can not get the information of SIO( BUS:0, Device:24, Fun:0~7, DeviceID: 0F40~0F47) from PCI. I wondered whether this is right or not?

hi, Carlos A

I want to know if there is new linux-kernel version for atom baytrail board? If there it is, please tell me how to get it.

Thanks.
