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:: | |
| d0c892f5 | 9 | |
| 2e049d61 | 10 | /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<device-directory>/slave-eeprom |
| d0c892f5 | 11 | |
| 59d3d604 WS |
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: | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | 24c02, read/write, address 0x64: | |
| 17 | # echo slave-24c02 0x1064 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device | |
| 18 | ||
| 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). | |

| d0c892f5 | 25 | As of 2015, Linux doesn't support poll on binary sysfs files, so there is no |
| 2e049d61 | 26 | notification when another master changed the content. |
