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