Introduction to I2C and I2Cdev

I2C was initially invented by Philips as a simple 2-wire low-speed communications interface between CPUs and simple peripherals. Used primarily in embedded systems to connect things like I/O devices, it is now used, under various names, by most IC manufacturers on many System-on-chips. This seminar will introduce I2C and the I2Cdev API which allows you to write I2C drivers from userspace in Linux.

All the Embedded Apprentice Linux Engineer classes will involve using embedded hardware during the hands-on labs.
