Linux内核源码中drivers目录下包含i2c的目录,其中含有如下文件和文件夹:
1. i2c-core.c 实现i2c核心功能和/proc/bus/i2c*接口
2. i2c-dev.c 实现i2c适配器设备文件的功能。主设备号为89 ,次设备号0~255。提供了通用的read()、write()、close()等接口。
3. chips文件夹 包含一些特定芯片的i2c设备驱动
4. buses文件夹 包含一些i2c总线的驱动
5. algos 实现了一些i2c 总线适配器的algorithm(算法)
此外i2c.h对 i2c_driver, i2c_client, i2c_adapter, i2c_algorithm四个结构体进行了定义。

I2c_adapter对应物理上的一个适配器,i2c_algorithm对应一套通信方法。
I2c_driver对应一套驱动方法,不对应任何物理实体。
I2c_client对应物理实体设备,每个设备需要一个i2c_client来描述。
Client与driver发送关联的时刻在i2c_driver的attach_adapter()函数调用的运行时。attach_adapter()探测物理设备,确定一个client存在,把client数据结构的adapter指针指向i2c_adapter,driver指针指向i2c_driver,调用i2c_adapter的函数client_register()。相反的过程发生在i2c_driver的detach_client()被调用的时候。
I2c_adapter和i2c_client关系是client依附于adapter。可多对一。工程师要做的:
1. I2c适配器的硬件驱动
2. 提供适配器的算法
用具体适配器的xxx_xfer()函数填充算法i2c_algorithm结构体的master_xfer指针,并把i2c_algorithm指针赋予i2c_adaper的algo指针。
3. 实现设备驱动与i2c_driver接口
用具体设备yyy的yyy_attach_adapter()函数指针、yyy_detach_client()函数指针和yyy_command()函数指针赋值给i2c_driver的attach_adapter、detach_adapter和detach_client指针。
4.实现i2c设备驱动的文件操作接口。
I2c核心(driver/i2c/i2c-core.c)中提供了一组不依赖于硬件平台的接口函数,不需要工程师修改,总线驱动和设备驱动之间依赖于核心作为纽带。主要函数如下:
1. 增加、删除i2c_adapter.
2. 增加、删除i2c_driver.
3. I2c_client依附、脱离。
Attach_client(),detach_client()
当具体的client被侦测到并被关联的时候,设备和sysfs文件将被注册,相反,在client被取消关联的时候,sysfs文件和设备也被注销
4. I2c传输、发送和接收。
Transfer() ,master_sent(),master_recv()
5. I2c控制命令分配。
Int i2c_control(),void i2c_cliens_command()
Linux i2c 总线驱动
总线驱动模块加载函数完成两个工作:
1. 初始化i2c适配器所使用的资源,如申请i/o地址,中断号等
2. 通过i2c_add_adapter() 添加i2c_adapter的数据结构,此数据结构已经被xxx适配器的相应函数指针所初始化。
卸载工作相反。
通信方法主要实现两个函数:
master_xfer()在适配器上完成传递给它的i2c_msg数组中的每个i2c消息
functionality()函数用于返回algorithm所支持的通信协议
多数的i2c 总线驱动会定义一个xxx_i2c 结构体,作为i2c_adapter的algo_data(私有数据),包括消息指针,函数索引,适配器访问控制用的自旋锁,等待队列等,而master_xfer()函数完成消息数组中的消息处理也可以通过对此结构体相关成员的访问来控制。
I2c 设备驱动
要使用i2c_driver和i2c_client数据结构并填充其中的成员函数。其中client包含在设备的私有信息结构体yyy_data中,而driver适合被定义为全局变量并初始化。
Static struct i2c_driver yyy_driver={
.diver={
.name=”yyy”,
},
.attach_adapter=yyy_attach_adapte,
.detach_client=yyy_ detach_client,
.command=yyy_command,
};
设备驱动的模块加载函数通用的方法是在加载函数中完成两件事:
通过register_chrdev()函数将i2c设备注册为一个字符设备;
通过i2c核心的i2c_add_driver()函数添加i2c_driver。
卸载先用i2c_del_driver()函数删除i2c_driver,再通过unregister_chrdev()注销设备。
Linux i2c 设备驱动的文件操作接口
写操作:
1. 从用户空间到字符设备驱动写函数接口,写函数构造i2c消息数组
2. 把构造的i2c消息数组传递给i2c核心的传送函数i2c_transfer()
3. i2c_transfer()找到对应的适配器algorithm的通信方法函数master_xfer()去完成i2c消息处理。
大多数情况,我们可以通过i2c-dev.c文件提供的i2c 适配器设备文件接口就可以完成对i2c设备的读写。
