NAME
i2cdump - examine I2C registers
SYNOPSIS
i2cdump [-f] [-r first-last] [-y] [-a] i2cbus address [mode [bank [bankreg]]]
i2cdump -V
DESCRIPTION
i2cdump is a small helper program to examine registers visible through the I2C bus.
OPTIONS
Display the version and exit.
Force access to the device even if it is already busy. By default, i2cdump will refuse to access a device which is already under the control of a kernel driver. Using this flag is dangerous, it can seriously confuse the kernel driver in question. It can also cause i2cdump to return invalid results. So use at your own risk and only if you know what you're doing.
Limit the range of registers being accessed. This option is only available with modes b, w, c and W. For mode W, first must be even and last must be odd.
Disable interactive mode. By default, i2cdump will wait for a confirmation from the user before messing with the I2C bus. When this flag is used, it will perform the operation directly. This is mainly meant to be used in scripts.
Allow using addresses between 0x00 - 0x07 and 0x78 - 0x7f. Not recommended.
At least two options must be provided to i2cdump. i2cbus indicates the number or name of the I2C bus to be scanned. This number should correspond to one of the busses listed by i2cdetect -l. address indicates the address to be scanned on that bus, and is an integer between 0x08 and 0x77.
The mode parameter, if specified, is one of the letters b, w, s, or i, corresponding to a read size of a single byte, a 16-bit word, an SMBus block, an I2C block, respectively. The c mode is a little different, it reads all bytes consecutively, and is useful for chips that have an address auto-increment feature, such as EEPROMs. The W mode is also special, it is similar to w except that a read command will only be issued on even register addresses; this is again mainly useful for EEPROMs.
A p can also be appended to the mode parameter (except for i and W) to enable PEC. If the mode parameter is omitted, i2cdump defaults to byte access without PEC.
The bank and bankreg parameters are useful on the W83781D and similar chips (at the time of writing, all Winbond and Asus chips). bank is an integer between 0 and 7, and bankreg is an integer between 0x00 and 0xFF (default value: 0x4E). The W83781D data sheet has more information on bank selection.
WARNING
i2cdump can be dangerous if used improperly. Most notably, the c mode starts with WRITING a byte to the chip. On most chips it will be stored in the address pointer register, which is OK, but some chips with a single register or no (visible) register at all will most likely see this as a real WRITE, resulting in possible misbehavior or corruption. Do not use i2cdump on random addresses. Anyway, it is of little use unless you have good knowledge of the chip you're working with and an idea of what you are looking for.
EXAMPLES
Dump the whole contents of I2C device at 7-bit address 0x50 on bus 9 (i2c-9), using the default read method (byte mode), after user confirmation:
# i2cdump 9 0x50
Immediately dump the whole contents of I2C device at 7-bit address 0x50 on bus 9 (i2c-9), using I2C block read transactions (no user confirmation):
# i2cdump -y 9 0x50 i
If the device is an EEPROM, the output would typically be the same as output of the previous example.
Dump registers 0x00 to 0x3f of the I2C device at 7-bit address 0x2d on bus 1 (i2c-1), using the default read method (byte mode), after user confirmation:
# i2cdump -r 0x00-0x3f 1 0x2d
Dump the registers of the SMBus device at address 0x69 on bus 0 (i2c-0), using one SMBus block read transaction with error checking enabled, after user confirmation:
# i2cdump 0 0x69 sp
