Description |

----------- |

|

| 25 |
The Savage4 chips contain two I2C interfaces (aka a I2C 'master' |
|---|
| 26 |
or 'host'). |
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 |
The first interface is used for DDC (Data Display Channel) |
|---|
| 29 |
which is a serial channel through the VGA monitor connector |
|---|
| 30 |
to a DDC-compliant monitor. This interface is defined by the |
|---|
| 31 |
Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). The standards |
|---|
| 32 |
are available for purchase at http://www.vesa.org . |
|---|
| 33 |
The DDC bus is not yet supported because its register is not |
|---|
| 34 |
directly memory-mapped. |
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 |
The second interface is a general-purpose I2C bus. |
|---|
| 37 |
This is the only interface supported by the driver at the moment. |
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 |
This driver uses the i2c-algo-bit module which must be |
|---|
| 40 |
modprobed and/or enabled in your kernel |
|---|
| 41 |
(Character Devices -> I2C Support -> I2C Bit-Banging Interfaces). |
