Up to eight of +these chips can be connected to the same I2C bus. You can find this +chip on some custom designed hardware, but you won't find it on PC +motherboards. + +The PCF8575 chip consists of a 16-bit quasi-bidirectional port and an I2C-bus +interface. Each of the sixteen I/O's can be independently used as an input or +an output. To set up an I/O pin as an input, you have to write a 1 to the +corresponding output. + +For more information please see the datasheet. + + +Detection +--------- + +There is no method known to detect whether a chip on a given I2C address is +a PCF8575 or whether it is any other I2C device. So there are two alternatives +to let the driver find the installed PCF8575 devices: +- Load this driver after any other I2C driver for I2C devices with addresses + in the range 0x20 .. 0x27. +- Pass the I2C bus and address of the installed PCF8575 devices explicitly to + the driver at load time via the probe=... or force=... parameters. + +/sys interface +-------------- + +For each address on which a PCF8575 chip was found or forced the following +files will be created under /sys: +* /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<bus>-<address>/read +* /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<bus>-<address>/write +where bus is the I2C bus number (0, 1, ...) and address is the four-digit +hexadecimal representation of the 7-bit I2C address of the PCF8575 +(0020 .. 0027). + +The read file is read-only. Reading it will trigger an I2C read and will hence +report the current input state for the pins configured as inputs, and the +current output value for the pins configured as outputs. + +The write file is read-write. Writing a value to it will configure all pins +as output for which the corresponding bit is zero. Reading the write file will +return the value last written, or -EAGAIN if no value has yet been written to +the write file. + +On module initialization the configuration of the chip is not changed -- the +chip is left in the state it was already configured in through either power-up +or through previous I2C write actions. diff --git a/Documentation/i2c/i2c-stub b/Documentation/i2c/i2c-stub index 89e69ad3436..0d8be1c20c1 100644 --- a/Documentation/i2c/i2c-stub +++ b/Documentation/i2c/i2c-stub @@ -25,6 +25,9 @@ The typical use-case is like this: 3. load the target sensors chip driver module 4. observe its behavior in the kernel log +There's a script named i2c-stub-from-dump in the i2c-tools package which +can load register values automatically from a chip dump. + PARAMETERS: int chip_addr[10]: @@ -32,9 +35,6 @@ int chip_addr[10]: CAVEATS: -There are independent arrays for byte/data and word/data commands.
