I2c access in the UEFI shell

I am attempting to access the I2c bus from efi code that runs from the UEFI shell. This is on an adlink cExpress-wl module with a 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-8665UE . I am looking for the low level UEFI code to access the I2c over the PHC.

Thanks

Brian

Yes I am developing diagnostic code for engineering bring up of a new board. The CPU module is an adlink cExpress-WL with the I7.  I will be accessing I2c devices on our hardware using code run from the built in UEFI shell. I was doing this over the SMBus (BMC) but it was switched to the I2c bus (PHC).

Thanks

I guess I'm just asking what I need to include in my UEFI compile and what do I need to call to do an I2c read or write.
