Introduction
The LogiCORE™ IP AXI IIC Bus Interface connects to the AMBA® AXI specification and provides a low-speed, two-wire,
serial bus interface to a large number of popular devices. This product specification defines the architecture,
hardware (signal) interface, software (register) interface, and parameterization options for the AXI IIC Bus Interface module.

Note: To view the sources for a particular release, use the rel-version tag in github. For example, for the 2020.1 release, the proper version of the code is: https://github.com/Xilinx/embeddedsw/tree/xilinx-v2020.1/XilinxProcessorIPLib/drivers/iic
The driver source code is organized into different folders. The table below shows the ospipsv driver source organization.
Directory | Description |
|---|---|
doc | Provides the API and data structure details |
data | Driver .tcl, .yaml and .mdd file |
examples | Example applications that show how to use the driver features |
| src | Driver source files, make and cmakelists file |
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.
