In my last column [LJ, December 2003], we discussed how I2C bus drivers and I2C algorithm drivers work. We also described how to make a tiny dummy I2C bus driver. This month, we discuss how an I2C ...

Hooking up I2C sensors is something which is generally associated with microcontrollers and SBCs, yet it’s very easy to use such I2C sensors from basically any system that runs Linux. After all, I2C ...

Linux users have a lot of software to be proud of. However, there is the occasional Windows program that does something you’d really like to do and it just won’t run. This is especially true of ...

In the 2.5 Linux kernel development series, a unified device driver model framework was created by Pat Mochel. This framework consists of a number of common structures and functions all device driver ...

Several of the Mid-Range Enhanced Core PIC16 microcontroller devices have a Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP). The MSSP module can be used to implement either I2CTM or SPI communications protocol.

Editor's Note: Embedded Linux has consistently ranked among the top operating systems used in embedded system design. With the rapid growth in interest in the Internet of Things (IoT), the ability of ...
