[lm-sensors] How can I use two command bytes for a block read?

[lm-sensors] How can I use two command bytes for a block read?

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 747 bytes --]

Hi,

I am having a little bother interfacing with a device that requires two
command bytes for both reads and writes. I can perform a successful write
using I2C writes but I would rather use the user-space i2c_smbus_ functions
from i2c-dev.h. In the i2c-dev documentation (
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/i2c/smbus-protocol?v=2.6.35;a=arm#L225)
there
is a mention of a two byte command block read but there does not appear to
be any supporting function in i2c-dev.h. Is there a patch available to add
this functionality or could there be another approach?

Just to clarify I need my smbus read transaction to look like this:


 S Addr Wr [A] Comm1 [A] Comm2 [A] S Addr Rd [A] [Data] A [Data] A ...
A [Data] NA P

Thanks

Wayne

Wrong mailing list. Try linux-i2c@vger.kernel.org (copied).

As a general hint, eeprom drivers such as drivers/misc/eeprom/at24.c do this;
you might want to have a look.

Oops apologies, though your advice helped, problem solved.
