Detailed Description

Macro Definition Documentation

I2C_BUS_GET_CONTROL

#define I2C_BUS_GET_CONTROL   0x802

Gets the bus control.

The argument type is a pointer to i2c_bus pointer.

I2C_BUS_OBTAIN

#define I2C_BUS_OBTAIN   0x800

Obtains the bus.

This command has no argument.

I2C_BUS_RELEASE

#define I2C_BUS_RELEASE   0x801

Releases the bus.

This command has no argument.

I2C_BUS_SET_CLOCK

#define I2C_BUS_SET_CLOCK   0x803

Sets the bus clock in Hz.

The argument type is unsigned long.

Function Documentation

i2c_bus_alloc_and_init()

i2c_bus* i2c_bus_alloc_and_init

(

size_t

size

)

Allocates a bus control from the heap and initializes it.

After a sucessful allocation and initialization the bus control must be destroyed via i2c_bus_destroy_and_free(). A registered bus control will be automatically destroyed in case the device file is unlinked. Make sure to call i2c_bus_destroy_and_free() in a custom destruction handler.

Parameters

[in]

size

The size of the bus control. This enables the addition of bus controller specific data to the base bus control. The bus control is zero initialized.

Return values

non-NULL	The new bus control.
NULL	An error occurred. The errno is set to indicate the error.

i2c_bus_register()

i2c_bus_destroy()

void i2c_bus_destroy

(

i2c_bus *

bus

)

Destroys a bus control.

Parameters

[in]

bus

The bus control.

i2c_bus_destroy_and_free()

void i2c_bus_destroy_and_free

(

i2c_bus *

bus

)

Destroys a bus control and frees its memory.

Parameters

[in]

bus

The bus control.

i2c_bus_init()

int i2c_bus_init

(

i2c_bus *

bus

)

Initializes a bus control.

After a sucessful initialization the bus control must be destroyed via i2c_bus_destroy(). A registered bus control will be automatically destroyed in case the device file is unlinked. Make sure to call i2c_bus_destroy() in a custom destruction handler.

Parameters

[in]

bus

The bus control.

Return values

0	Successful operation.
-1	An error occurred. The errno is set to indicate the error.

i2c_bus_register()

i2c_bus_obtain()

void i2c_bus_obtain

(

i2c_bus *

bus

)

Obtains the bus.

Parameters

[in]

bus

The bus control.

i2c_bus_register()

int i2c_bus_register	(	i2c_bus *	bus,
		const char *	bus_path
	)

Registers a bus control.

This function claims ownership of the bus control regardless if the registration is successful or not.

Parameters

[in]	bus	The bus control.
[in]	bus_path	The path to the bus device file.

Return values

0	Successful operation.
-1	An error occurred. The errno is set to indicate the error.

i2c_bus_release()

void i2c_bus_release

(

i2c_bus *

bus

)

Releases the bus.

Parameters

[in]

bus

The bus control.

i2c_bus_transfer()

int i2c_bus_transfer	(	i2c_bus *	bus,
		i2c_msg *	msgs,
		uint32_t	msg_count
	)

Transfers I2C messages.

The bus is obtained before the transfer and released afterwards.

Parameters

[in]	bus	The bus control.
[in]	msgs	The messages to transfer.
[in]	msg_count	The count of messages to transfer. It must be positive.

Return values

0	Successful operation.
negative	Negative error number in case of an error.
