HI,

I have compiled the i2c-test tools package , in package list while compiling ltib...could anybody pls kindly let me know how to resolve this issue in making use of i2cdetect, i2cdump, i2cset, i2cget commands for verifying my eeprom in the rootfs shell prompt,

CZ I followed the followed the below steps in using I2c tools was unable to succeed

Am trying for more than 2 days still am not able to verify the I2c interfaced devices using the i2c-tools , I hereby attached the screenshots as well,

Pls kindly do the needful,

I.Mx28 EVK Board : source L2.6.35_10.12.01_ER_source

freescale login: root

BusyBox v1.15.0 () built-in shell (ash)

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

root@freescale ~$

root@freescale ~$ i2c

i2cdetect i2cdump i2cget i2cset

root@freescale ~$ i2cdetect -l

root@freescale ~$ i2cdetect -y

Error: No i2c-bus specified!

Usage: i2cdetect [-y] [-a] [-q|-r] I2CBUS [FIRST LAST]

i2cdetect -F I2CBUS

i2cdetect -l

I2CBUS is an integer or an I2C bus name

If provided, FIRST and LAST limit the probing range.

root@freescale ~$ i2cdetect -y 0

Error: Could not open file `/dev/i2c-0' or `/dev/i2c/0': No such file or directory

root@freescale ~$ i2cdetect -y 1

root@freescale ~$ i2cdetect -F 0

I think the kernel config I2C_CHARDEV not enabled in I.MX28 BSP . You should enable it manually.

Make menuconfig ->device driver ->I2C support->I2C_CHARDEV

The I2C_CHARDEV option description:

Say Y here to use i2c-* device files, usually found in the /dev

directory on your system. They make it possible to have user-space

programs use the I2C bus. Information on how to do this is

contained in the file <file:Documentation/i2c/dev-interface>.

This support is also available as a module. If so, the module

will be called i2c-dev.

Hello Srinivasan,

what does your Kernel print out about I2C while booting?

Is I2C enabled in the Kernel?
