Hans-G?nter@24651 | 1 The i2c-tools package contains a heterogeneous set of I2C tools for Linux: |
Hans-G?nter@24651 | 2 a bus probing tool, a chip dumper, register-level SMBus access helpers, |
Hans-G?nter@24651 | 3 EEPROM decoding scripts, EEPROM programming tools, and a python module for |
Hans-G?nter@24651 | 4 SMBus access. |
Hans-G?nter@24651 | 5 All versions of Linux are supported, as long as I2C support is included in |
Hans-G?nter@24651 | 6 the kernel. |
Hans-G?nter@24651 | 7 |
Hans-G?nter@24651 | 8 These tools used to be part of the lm-sensors package, but were later split |
Hans-G?nter@24651 | 9 to a separate package. The rationale for that move is that not all hardware |
Hans-G?nter@24651 | 10 monitoring chips are I2C devices, and not all I2C devices are hardware |
Hans-G?nter@24651 | 11 monitoring chips, so having everything in a single package was confusing |
Hans-G?nter@24651 | 12 and impractical. |
