access error i2c device file

[janmennen]

I  get EACCESS error when opening i2c-2 device file when using Android-NDK build and called via JNI

When using i2c tools i don't have this problem.

int i2cbus = 2;
sprintf(fileName, "/dev/i2c-%d", i2cbus);

if ((file = open(fileName,O_RDWR)) < 0) {
    LOGE("Error opening %s file=%d error=%d", fileName, file, errno);
    if (errno == EACCES) LOGE("Run as root?\n");
    return -1;
}

Seems  i have to change the access rights of the device file. How to do this permanently. When i do chmod 666  setting is changed but after reboot it is getting its old value.

Does someone knows how to solve this issue

Thanks Jan

Problem is related to security mode avc: denied kernel error

When i enable permissive mode the problem is solved see:

androidboot.selinux=permissive
