How to enable and access i2c bus 3 in kernel?

naveennvn · ‎10-14-2015

Hi all,

I'm using LS2085A board. By default i2c bus 0 is selected , there we can able to read and write the register values.

I need to read the register values from i2c bus 3.

In u-boot i can able to read those registers. For selecting i2c bus 3 i used "i2c dev 3" command.

But in kernel i can't able to select and read the i2c bus 3.I tried via accessing /dev/i2c-3 but i'm not getting. I don't know how to select the bus 3.

Can any one help me on this?

Thanks in advance,

-Naveen

Hello naveennvn,

You could use i2c-tools package to do verification, please add "i2c-tools" in IMAGE_INSTALL variable of recipe meta-fsl-networking/image/fsl-image-core.bb and rebuild image with "bitbake fsl-image-kernelitb".

root@ls2085aqds:~# i2cdetect 3

WARNING! This program can confuse your I2C bus, cause data loss and worse!

Hi Yiping,

Thanks for your response,

Actually in my setup i had connected the some peripherals in i2c bus 3.

In u-boot it shows properly :

=> i2c dev 3

Setting bus to 3

=> i2c probe

Valid chip addresses: 00 4C 50

But in kernel those slave addresses are not showing :

root@ls2085aissd:~# i2cdetect -y 3

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f

00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

60: 60 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- UU

Why those slave addresses are not showing on kernel ? How to enable in kernel ?

Can you help me on this ?

Thanks,

-Naveen

Hello naveennvn,

Please check whether Kernel configuration contains the following.

CONFIG_I2C=y

CONFIG_I2C_BOARDINFO=y

CONFIG_I2C_COMPAT=y

CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=y

CONFIG_I2C_MUX=y

CONFIG_I2C_IMX=y

For the dts file, please enable fsl-ls2085a.dtsi and with i2cx node enabled.

If your problem remains, would you please also attach Kernel boot log.

Have a great day,
Yiping

Hi Yiping,

Above kernel configurations all are already enabled and i2c node also enabled in fsl-ls2085a.dtsi file.

Now also the problem remains same. I'm not able to access the i2c bus 3 in kernel.

Is there any modifications in board files?

Here is the i2c related kernel log :
