Opencores I2C Core and uClinux Driver

I have added an Altera Avalon SOPC Builder I2C Master component based on the Opencores I2C Host.

http://via.dynalias.org/svn/fpga/cores/i2c_master/trunk/ (http://via.dynalias.org/svn/fpga/cores/i2c_master/trunk/)

Either download using the web, or use SVN to check out the project..

I simply created a wrapper for this and the necessary files to drop this component onto the Avalon bus, so I don't take any credit for this core. This will just make it easier for new people not wishing to go through this hassle.

Also, I am working on getting the uClinux driver up and running. There is an Opencores driver already included in 2.6.16.1, so I will just be modifying/testing that and posting the results here.

    Hippo,

    OK. I can confirm, I have compiled the uclinux image w/o problem (w/ oc i2c master).

    Now, I need some things to test it.

    Can you point me to some apps and code for testing this ?

    I assume I have to create a device /dev/i2c-0 in romfs_list ?

    I will wire the hardware to some devices I have. Many thanks.

    You should create a new topic for a new question.

    If the thread got too long, it is difficult to read by others.
