Cadence I2C Driver
Introduction
This page provides information about the Cadence I2C driver which can be found on Xilinx Git and mainline as i2c-cadence.c
Zynq has two I2C hard IP. I2C can be used as a master with this linux driver.
There is support for repeated start with some limitations.
HW IP Features
Master mode
Support 16 bytes FIFO
Programmable normal and fast bus data rates
Interrupt support
Repeated start support using HOLD bit
FIFO control using HOLD bit
Slave monitoring support in Master mode.
Known issues and limitations
Repeated start after a read transfer is not supported by this controller. A warning is given when this condition is detected by the driver.
The following are the controller errata:
Missing glitch filter.
I2C Master Generates Invalid Read Transactions
Missing I2C Master Completion Interrupt.
Timing requirement violations
I2C - Standard Mode running faster than 90 kHz violates tHD; STA timing requirement.
I2C - Fast Mode running faster than 384kHz violates tLOW; STA timing requirement.
I2C - Fast Mode running faster than 384 kHz violates tBUF; STA timing requirement.
I2C Missing Arbitration On Repeated Start.
Multi-master configuration works only if all the participating masters are operating at the same frequency.

Kernel Configuration
The following config options need to be enabled:
CONFIG_I2C_CADENCE
It depends on I2C and ARCH_ZYNQ
Devicetree
Refer to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/i2c/i2c-cadence.txt for complete description.
Example
The following example shows adding an I2C node to the devicetree with the various interfaces connected to i2c on zynq zc702 board:
i2c0 {
status = "okay";
clock-frequency = <400000>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&&pinctrl_i2c0_default>;
i2cswitch@74 {
compatible = "nxp,pca9548";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
reg = <0x74>;
i2c@0 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
reg = <0>;
si570: clock-generator@5d {
#clock-cells = <0>;
compatible = "silabs,si570";
temperature-stability = <50>;
reg = <0x5d>;
factory-fout = <156250000>;
clock-frequency = <148500000>;
};
};
i2c@2 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
reg = <2>;
eeprom@54 {
compatible = "at,24c08";
reg = <0x54>;
};
};
i2c@3 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
reg = <3>;
gpio@21 {
compatible = "ti,tca6416";
reg = <0x21>;
gpio-controller;
#gpio-cells = <2>;
};
};
i2c@4 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
reg = <4>;
rtc@51 {
compatible = "nxp,pcf8563";
reg = <0x51>;
};
};
i2c@7 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
reg = <7>;
hwmon@52 {
compatible = "ti,ucd9248";
reg = <52>;
};
hwmon@53 {
compatible = "ti,ucd9248";
reg = <53>;
};
hwmon@54 {
compatible = "ti,ucd9248";
reg = <54>;
};
};
};
};
Test procedure
This section details i2c tests with various interfaces:
Eeprom Test helper script
Writes different patterns to the I2C EEPROM, reads back the contents of the EEPROM and performs data verification.
Inputs expected by the helper script (i2c_eeprom_helper.sh), in that order:
1. The EEPROM to test in the /sys filesystem, a full path
2. Offset from the start of the EEPROM
3. The number of bytes to read/write at the offset from the start of the EEPROM.
I2C eeprom helper script & test logs:
EEPROM Stress Test
The following test can be used for performing eeprom stress test:
Testing RTC
Read Date and Time from RTC
zynq> cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/5-0051/rtc/rtc0/date
zynq> cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/5-0051/rtc/rtc0/dateTesting UCD9248
TI's UCD9248 PWM controllers are commonly used on Xilinx platforms like the zc702.
The Linux driver for these controllers allows voltage and current monitoring through a sysfs interface exposed in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/*.
The driver is documented in Documentation/hwmon/ucd9200
zynq> cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/8-0035/hwmon/hwmon1/in1_min
zynq> cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/8-0035/hwmon/hwmon1/curr1_inputTesting I2C EEPROM
Basic test on zynq zc702 board:
1. Create BIN file using DD command
- dd if=/dev/urandom of=eeprom_in.bin bs=1 count=128 skip=0
128+0 records in
128+0 records out
128 bytes (128B) copied, 0.001327 seconds, 94.2KB/s2. Write BIN file to EEPROM

128+0 records in
128+0 records out

- dd if=/sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0054/eeprom of=eeprom_out.bin bs=1 count=128 skip=0
128+0 records in
128+0 records out
128 bytes (128B) copied, 0.065103 seconds, 1.9KB/sExpected Output
