1==============================2Linux I2C slave EEPROM backend3==============================4 5by Wolfram Sang <wsa@sang-engineering.com> in 2014-206 7This backend simulates an EEPROM on the connected I2C bus. Its memory contents8can be accessed from userspace via this file located in sysfs::9 10 /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<device-directory>/slave-eeprom11 12The following types are available: 24c02, 24c32, 24c64, and 24c512. Read-only13variants are also supported. The name needed for instantiating has the form14'slave-<type>[ro]'. Examples follow:15 1624c02, read/write, address 0x64:17 # echo slave-24c02 0x1064 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device18 1924c512, read-only, address 0x42:20 # echo slave-24c512ro 0x1042 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device21 22You can also preload data during boot if a device-property named23'firmware-name' contains a valid filename (DT or ACPI only).24 25As of 2015, Linux doesn't support poll on binary sysfs files, so there is no26notification when another master changed the content.27
