Linux I2C device驱动

零. Linux I2C驱动框架

 一. I2C device Driver in Linux Kernel注册过程

1. Get the I2C adapter.
2. Create the oled_i2c_board_info structure and create a device using that.
3. Create the i2c_device_id for your slave device and register that.
4. Create the i2c_driver structure and add that to the I2C subsystem.
5. Now the driver is ready. So you can transfer the data between master and slave.
6. Once you are done, then remove the device.

1.Get the I2C adapter

You can check that using the command ls -al /sys/bus/i2c/devices/.

        struct i2c_adapter *i2c_get_adapter(int nr);

2.Create the board info(是一个结构体)

struct i2c_board_info {
  char type[I2C_NAME_SIZE];
  unsigned short flags;
  unsigned short addr;
  void * platform_data;
  struct dev_archdata * archdata;
  struct device_node * of_node;
  struct fwnode_handle * fwnode;
  int irq;
};

You can use I2C_BOARD_INFO macro to initialize the essential fields of struct i2c_board_info.

I2C_BOARD_INFO ( dev_type, dev_addr);

dev_type – identifies the device type
dev_addr – the device’s address on the bus

3.Create Device

struct i2c_client * i2c_new_device ( struct i2c_adapter * adap, struct i2c_board_info const * info);

*adap – Adapter structure that we got from i2c_get_adapter()
*info – Board info structure that we have created

This will return the i2c_client structure. We can use this client for our future transfers.

4.Create the device id（一个结构）

struct i2c_device_id {
  char name[I2C_NAME_SIZE];
  kernel_ulong_t driver_data;
};

4.Create the i2c_driver（一个结构）

struct i2c_driver {
  unsigned int class;
  int (* attach_adapter) (struct i2c_adapter *);
  int (* probe) (struct i2c_client *, const struct i2c_device_id *);
  int (* remove) (struct i2c_client *);
  void (* shutdown) (struct i2c_client *);
  void (* alert) (struct i2c_client *, unsigned int data);
  int (* command) (struct i2c_client *client, unsigned i
