Linux i2c 驱动实例

主要的数据结构体：

//  include/linux/i2c.h
struct i2c_client {
	unsigned short flags;		/* div., see below		*/
	unsigned short addr;		/* chip address - NOTE: 7bit	*/
					/* addresses are stored in the	*/
					/* _LOWER_ 7 bits		*/
	char name[I2C_NAME_SIZE];
	struct i2c_adapter *adapter;	/* the adapter we sit on	*/
	struct i2c_driver *driver;	/* and our access routines	*/
	struct device dev;		/* the device structure		*/
	int irq;			/* irq issued by device		*/
	struct list_head detected;
};

struct i2c_adapter {
	struct module *owner;
	unsigned int class;		  /* classes to allow probing for */
	const struct i2c_algorithm *algo; /* the algorithm to access the bus */
	void *algo_data;

	/* data fields that are valid for all devices	*/
	struct rt_mutex bus_lock;

	int timeout;			/* in jiffies */
	int retries;
	struct device dev;		/* the adapter device */

	int nr;
	char name[48];
	struct completion dev_released;

	struct mutex userspace_clients_lock;
	struct list_head userspace_clients;
};

 

驱动编写：

i2c控制器的驱动一般在platform_device注册列表中注册。（driver/i2c/busses/i2c.c）

从机驱动：

1. 系统初始化时添加以i2c_board_info为结构体的从设备信息，然后在板级系统初始化的时候通过i2c_register_board_info函数，生成一个对应的i2c_client。
2. 在I2C从设备驱动程序里使用i2c_adapter里所提供的算法
3. 将i2c从设备的特有数据结构挂载在i2c_client.dev下
