Hi Pramod

please try latest official i.MX23 EVK Linux BSP release

L2.6.31_10.05.00_SDK_SOURCE  : Linux 2.6.31 Source Code Files 2010.05 Release.

Hi Pramod,

I suggest you to use kernel 4.1 with and apply the following patch:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/shawnguo/linux.git/commit/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx23.dtsi?...

It will be part of 4.2 kernel, but you can apply it manually and I2C will work. Then you can add the dts entry in the imx23-olinuxino device tree file.

Regards,

Fabio Estevam

[fabio_estevam]

And here is the patch that adds i2c to the olinuxino board:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/shawnguo/linux.git/commit/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx23-olinu...

[igorpadykov]

Hi Pramod

if you are using successfully imx233-olimax kernel,

then seems your board is based on olimax board.

Suggested Linux BSP release was developed for i.MX23 EVK,

not for olimax board. I would suggest to post this to

Olimex
