i2c Device Detection

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings,

Being relatively new to i2c I wanted to verify that my conclusion
reached from doing some initial reading on i2c device detection is
accurate:

Based on the nature of an i2c bus there is no automatic detection of
an i2c device "plugged into" a system in the kernel. For example, an
embedded Linux system boots up and 10 minutes later someone attaches a
smart battery to the running system (to a bus that also has a smart
battery charger, for example) - there is no way to automatically
detect the device and run some initialization code in a device driver
every time the battery gets connected to the i2c bus, correct?

Regards,
Gerard
