The SMBus specification says that LSB always goes first when sending or receiving a 16-byte word. i2c-core and individual i2c bus drivers must follow this specification, even though most I2C slave devices actually transmit the MSB first. It is the responsibility of the I2C chip driver (or user-space in the case of i2c-dev) to swap the bytes if needed. See for example the lm75 driver. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ i2c mailing list i2c@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/i2c
