06:11 PM Software Development: RE: I2C Board Support Package
I'm realizing I'm not clear on the hardware. Is it the card that is "Rev B" or the board the card is seated on? Is it... Dennis Volper

Hi Dennis,
I tried the same steps as you listed above on a revision A board as well as a C board and don't see thi...

Sorry, did not manage to dig that out of the kernel. What I could use now as a sanity test is an i2cdump address of s... Dennis Volper
06:47 PM Software Development: RE: I2C Board Support Package
The 1 does indicate which bus. It tells i2cdump to open "/dev/i2c-1" instead of "/dev/i2c-2". It is used to append ... Michael Williamson

The board rev is the same, a few differences with some of the hex codes. But doesn't the 1 in that command indicate w... Dennis Volper

OK. Looks like your I2C0 port is up and running and is communicating with the on-board devices in the kernel.

05:31 PM Software Development: RE: I2C Board Support Package
I2C0 is actually /dev/i2c-1 (bus numbering for i2c starts at 1 in the kernel, it's a bit arbitrary actually).

Michael Williamson
04:46 PM Software Development: RE: I2C Board Support Package
So my problem is I'm only seeing /dev/i2c-1 after the boot. Dennis Volper

Hello Mr. Volper,
Are you still stuck on this issue, or did reseating the card resolve the I2C problems?
