2 Linux I2C slave EEPROM backend

7 This backend simulates an EEPROM on the connected I2C bus. Its memory contents
8 can be accessed from userspace via this file located in sysfs::
10 /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<device-directory>/slave-eeprom
12 The following types are available: 24c02, 24c32, 24c64, and 24c512. Read-only
13 variants are also supported. The name needed for instantiating has the form
14 'slave-<type>[ro]'. Examples follow:
16 24c02, read/write, address 0x64:
17 # echo slave-24c02 0x1064 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
19 24c512, read-only, address 0x42:
20 # echo slave-24c512ro 0x1042 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
22 You can also preload data during boot if a device-property named
23 'firmware-name' contains a valid filename (DT or ACPI only).
25 As of 2015, Linux doesn't support poll on binary sysfs files, so there is no
26 notification when another master changed the content.
