It looks like you have two I2C devices operational. I2C-0 and I2C-2 I2C-0 is for the internal use of the BBB, to talk to the power supply, and on-board EEPROM. You should not use this I2C bus for anything.
I2C-2 is the I2C bus brought out to Pins P9-19 and P9-20. Is there a reason that you can not use this I2C bus? --- Graham == On Sunday, May 24, 2015 at 11:34:20 PM UTC-5, prashuk jain wrote: > > i tried the second one and dont want to go for first one. > > Earlier there were two I2C enable by default, but in this one there seems > one. > > Can someone please tell me the proper steps, if I want to enable I2c in my > kernel "Linux arm 4.0.1-armv7-x2 ". > > These devices are present > root@arm:/sys/bus/i2c/devices# ls -l i2c-* > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 25 09:52 i2c-0 -> > ../../../devices/platform/ocp/ > 44e0b000.i2c/i2c-0 > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 25 09:52 i2c-2 -> > ../../../devices/platform/ocp/4819c000.i2c/i2c-2 > > but when i do > sudo i2cdetect -l > there is no output. > > Without degrading the kernel to 3.8, Any help to enable i2c would be > appreciable. > > Regards :)) > > > > On Tuesday, 27 January 2015 22:19:43 UTC+5:30, Graham wrote: >> >> I think you have three choices: >> >> 1.)
