= Overview =
This How-To is meant to be a starting point for people to learn use I2C for IGEP v2 devices as quickly and easily as possible. In this how-to, we use a program that reads and decodes EDID information from display. This program was tested in [http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-m/headless/final/linaro-m-headless-tar-20101108-2.tar.gz Linaro Headless] with [[Linux Kernel 2.6.35.y|Kernel 2.6.35.y]] and [[How to get the Poky Linux distribution|Poky Linux distribution]].<br>

There are some functionalities that are not implemented (see code comments) and other new ones that appear in other revisions. Besides, this program only parses the first EDID 128 bytes block. But this code is only a sample enough to learn to learnt use I2C.<br>

At any pointThere are some requisites to follow this guide:  *[https://www.isee.biz/support/downloads/item/igep-virtual-machine-sdk IGEP SDK VM]: follow the [http://isee.biz/component/zoo/item/igep-sdk-software-user-manual IGEP&nbsp;SDK&nbsp;SOFTWARE&nbsp;USER&nbsp;MANUAL] (chapter 2.3 "Setting up and running the VM") or install [http://labs.isee.biz/index.php/How_to_setup_a_cross_compiler#Download.2FInstall_IGEP_SDK IGEP&nbsp;SDK] in your host computer<br> *[http://www.isee.biz/products/processor-boards/igepv2-board IGEPv2], if you see a mistake you can contribute to [https://www.isee.biz/products/igep-expansion-boards/igep-berlin IGEP BERLIN] or [https://www.isee.biz/products/igep-expansion-boards/igep-paris IGEP PARIS] (in this Howguide is used I2C located at HDMI connector) *[http://labs.isee.biz/images/8/8c/Parse-edid-Tobeta3.tar.bz2 parse-edid-beta3.tar. bz2]<br>

'''NOTE:''' use these steps with [http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-m/headless/final/linaro-m-headless-tar-20101108-2.tar.gz Linaro Headless] .
In this How-to, I used pre-compiled modules, because: it's quick and it works. All versions of Linux are supported, as long as I2C support is included in the kernel. <br>
To make sure that I2C driver works well, follow the next steps (tested in [http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-m/headless/final/linaro-m-headless-tar-20101108-2.tar.gz Linaro Headless]), to install i2c-tools:
<pre>sudo apt-get install i2c-tools
</pre>
= Compile and Run<br> =
Download '''(upload source code)''' [http://labs.isee.biz/images/8/8c/Parse-edid-beta3.tar.bz2 parse-edid-beta3.tar.bz2] and extract it.
There are some things that is interesting learn, before compiling the program. Open '''(main program)''' it and seek next lines:<br>
<pre>//1==enabled 0==disable
#define FORCE 1
//Address DVI Standard: 0x50
#define ADDRESS 0x50</pre>
Constant FORCE is defined to allow this program acces access to I2c, although other program programs use this oneit at the same time. It can be dangerous in writing operations but in this cause read operations don't have sense no use itproblems.<br>
Constant ADDRESS is defined to acces in specific I2C address, in . In DVI devices , 0x50 is default address, that means that same bus other peripherals can be connected to same bus with more peripheralsother 7 bit address.
See the code below:<br>
<pre>for (i=0;i&lt;=255;i++)
{
}
} </pre>
The program uses i2c_smbus_read_byte_data function to get information from display, "i" variable is the EEPROM address, . EEPROM (Slave) reads address and from Omap (Master), after , EEPROM send sends the address value to Omap (Master).<br>  More information about [[Peripherals Summary#I2C|I2C]].<br>  Compile program using IGEP SDK: <pre>arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc parse-edid-beta3.c -o parse-edid-beta3</pre> Export binary to IGEP using [[Transfer files via SCP|scp]]: <pre>scp parse-edid-beta3 root@&lt;IGEP IP address&gt;:/home/root </pre> Run program as root.
