     1.4 +The i2c-tools package contains a heterogeneous set of I2C tools for Linux:
     1.5 +a bus probing tool, a chip dumper, register-level SMBus access helpers,
     1.6 +EEPROM decoding scripts, EEPROM programming tools, and a python module for
     1.7 +SMBus access.
     1.8 +All versions of Linux are supported, as long as I2C support is included in
     1.9 +the kernel.

    1.11 +These tools used to be part of the lm-sensors package, but were later split
    1.12 +to a separate package. The rationale for that move is that not all hardware
    1.13 +monitoring chips are I2C devices, and not all I2C devices are hardware
    1.14 +monitoring chips, so having everything in a single package was confusing
    1.15 +and impractical.
