I2C enabled ?

Postby Nico38 » Sun Sep 02, 2012 8:54 pm

Hi,

Is Archlinux delivered with I2C support built-in ?

Best regards,
Nicolas

Ok, so how do I start the i2c driver ?
i2c-dev does not exists on my system.

I believe that Y would indicate it is built in. Verify your `uname -a` output versus `ls /usr/lib/modules` just to be sure.

I've found it in /usr/lib/modules/3.2.27-3-ARCH+/kernel/drivers/i2c.
I'm a silly boy. I tried running i2c-dev directly as an application.
modprobe i2c-dev works perfectly.

Thanks for your help.
