Thanks, this will be useful to get started; anyway, it implies a
knowledge of what is a "bus driver" or a "chip driver". I've read other
articles but I'm still a bit confused. Could you give me a very very
quick description of all kind of i2c-related drivers?
What is the preferred way to actually test the driver, I am quite
comfortable with a solder iron if I have to connect a simple device to
try a connection
bye!
