Introduction

The I2C controllers can function as a master or a slave in a multi-master design. They can
operate over a clock frequency range up to 400 kb/s.


Source path for the driver:
https://github.com/Xilinx/embeddedsw/tree/master/XilinxProcessorIPLib/drivers/iicps
Driver source code is organized into different folders. Below diagram shows the iicps driver source organization

The source code for the driver is included with the Vitis Unified Software Platform installation, as well as being available in the Xilinx Github repository.

Note: AMD Xilinx embeddedsw build flow has been changed from 2023.2 release to adapt to the new system device tree based flow. For further information, refer to the wiki link Porting embeddedsw components to system device tree (SDT) based flow
The .yaml(in data folder) and CMakeLists.txt(in src folder) files are needed for the System Device Tree based flow. The Driver .tcl and .mdd files are for the older build flow which will be deprecated in future.
