Reading / Writing from an I2C device

Variscite includes I2CTools as a part of the default file system build, examples of optional commands:
i2cdump - dump the content of an I2C device
i2cset - write a single character to an I2C device
i2cget - read a single character to an I2C device.

In addition follow 'C' code example as describe in the linux kernel documentation : https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/i2c/dev-interface

Variscite's system integrated I2C devices

Note: Don't manipulate Variscite's on-SOM EEPROM, or you will damage the SOM!

When the device is marked with "UU" it says a driver is using it.
Driver with numbers are available.
Variscite devices:

I2C-2 0x38 – focaltech touch
I2C-2 0x68 - RTC On carrier
I2C-2 0x52 - EEPROM on carrier
I2C-2 0x53 - EEPROM on carrier
I2C-2 0x1A – audio codec
I2C-2 0x50 - EEPROM on SOM. Do not write to it!
I2C-2 0x51 - EEPROM on SOM. Do not write to it!
