• I2C Tools

Summary

• The I2C driver can be loaded dynamically and it provides the basic facilities to interface with any I2C device.

• The I2C driver creates a number of new folders and it also accepts ioctl commands.

• As an example of using the driver, the HTU21D is easy to set up and read. It also has a dedicated Linux driver which is discussed in Chapter 14.

• Without clock stretching support, all we can do is to poll for data to be ready to read.

• Computing a CRC is something every IoT programmer needs to know how to do in the general case.

• There are a number of command line tools that let you work with I2C, but they need to be used with caution.
