Subject: [PATCH v2 0/1] i2c: Add i2c-pseudo driver for userspace I2C adapters.
Date: Mon, 11 May 2020 15:37:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200511223737.46122-1-matthewb@google.com> (raw)
From: Matthew Blecker <matthewb@chromium.org>
This patch adds i2c-pseudo, a module that provides I2C adapters backed by
userspace programs. This allows for userspace implementations of
functionality such as tunneling I2C through another communication channel,
or mocking of real I2C devices whose behavior cannot be modeled with
i2c-stub.
Module naming: A pseudo I2C adapter is analogous to a pseudo terminal.
In the Chromium OS ecosystem we are using this for a userspace I2C adapter
built on top of an existing userspace I2C-over-USB implementation used with
embedded debug devices that act as I2C master to a device under test (DUT).
This arrangement is used for interacting with I2C slaves on the DUT,
particularly for transferring firmware to an embedded controller IC which
receives programming via I2C.
That I2C pseudo controller implementation is here:
