I2c协议介绍

Key to symbols

==============

S(1 bit) : Start bit开始位

P(1 bit) : Stop bit结束位

Rd/Wr (1 bit) : Read/Write bit. Rd equals 1, Wr equals 0.

A, NA (1 bit) : Accept and reverse accept bit.应答位和不应答位

Addr(7 bits): I2C 7 bit address. Note that this can be expanded as usual to

get a 10 bit I2C address.

Comm(8 bits): Command byte, a data byte which often selects a register on

the device.

Data(8 bits): A plain data byte. Sometimes, I write DataLow, DataHigh

for 16 bit data.

Count (8 bits): A data byte containing the length of a block operation.

[..]: Data sent by I2C device, as opposed to data sent by the host adapter.

Simple send transaction简单发送传输

======================

This corresponds to i2c_master_send.

S Addr Wr [A] Data [A] Data [A] ... [A] Data [A] P

Simple receive transaction简单接收传输

===========================

This corresponds to i2c_master_recv

S Addr Rd[A] [Data] A [Data] A ... A [Data] NA P

Combined transactions复合传输

====================

This corresponds to i2c_transfer.

They are just like the above transactions, but instead of a stop bit P，a start bit S is sent and the transaction continues. An example of a byte read, followed by a byte write:

S Addr Rd [A] [Data] NA S Addr Wr [A] Data [A] P

Modified transactions

=====================

We have found some I2C devices that needs the following modifications:

FlagI2C_M_NOSTART:

In a combined transaction, no 'S Addr Wr/Rd [A]' is generated at somepoint. For example, setting I2C_M_NOSTART on the second partial message generates something like:

S Addr Rd[A] [Data] NA Data [A] P

If you set the I2C_M_NOSTART variable for the first partial message, we do not generate Addr, but we do generate the startbitS. This will probably confuse all other clients on your bus, so don't try this.

Flags I2C_M_REV_DIR_ADDR

This toggles theRd/Wrflag. That is, if you want to do a write, but Normally message is interrupted immediately if there is[NA]from the client. Setting this flag treats any[NA]as[A], and all of message is sent.

These messages may still fail to SCL lo->hi timeout.

Flags I2C_M_NO_RD_ACK

In a read message, master A/NA bit is skipped.

Terminology术语

===========

When we talk about I2C, we use the following terms:

Bus-> Algorithm

Adapter

Device -> Driver

Client

An Algorithm driver contains general code that can be used for a whole class of I2C adapters. Each specific adapter driver either depends on one algorithm driver, or includes its own implementation.

A Driver driver (yes, this sounds ridiculous, sorry) contains the general code to access some type of device. Each detected device gets its own data in the Client structure. Usually, Driver and Client are more closely integrated than Algorithm and Adapter.

For a given configuration, you will need a driver for your I2C bus, and drivers for your I2C devices (usually one driver for each device).

At this time, Linux only operates I2C (or SMBus) in master mode; you can't use these APIs to make a Linux system behave as a slave/device, either to speak a custom protocol or to emulate some other device.

I2c-dev.c文件完全可以被看作一个i2c设备驱动，它可以被用于用户空间访问adapter.它实现的一个i2c_client是虚拟、临时的，随着设备文件的打开而产生，并随设备文件的关闭而撤销。

I2c-dev.c提供以下几个函数，如下

static const struct file_operations i2cdev_fops = {

.owner= THIS_MODULE,

.llseek= no_llseek,

.read= i2cdev_read,

.write= i2cdev_write,

.unlocked_ioctl= i2cdev_ioctl,

.open= i2cdev_open,

.release= i2cdev_release,

};

实际使用时, i2cdev_read和i2cdev_write使用比较少，不建议使用，因为他们不具有太强的通用性。使用的时候一般就使用i2cdev_ioctl，当然i2cdev_open与i2cdev_release也是需要使用的。

要使用i2c-dev，首先必须把I2C support里面的I2C device interface选上。

下面是一个例子，参考的华清远见的刘老师的，如下
