i2c help needed

Hi:

I have a custom i2c device (one that looks like memory, you can do reads and writes to it) connected to my BeagleBone Black.

According to the online docs, I have the device connected to: i2c2: 0x4819_C000

However when I do an i2cdetect -l I only see:

i2cdetect -l

i2c-0 i2c OMAP I2C adapter I2C adapter
i2c-1 i2c OMAP I2C adapter I2C adapter

i2cdetect -F /dev/i2c-1

Error: I2C bus name doesn’t match any bus present!

i2cdetect -F /dev/i2c-0

Error: I2C bus name doesn’t match any bus present!

I don’t see to be able to see anything on any i2c buses in the system.
The hardware seems to be correctly connected.

Is there some configuration thing I need to do to get i2c working properly on my BeagleBone Black ?

I am using the Debian image on my uSD card to boot:
bone-debian-7.4-2014-03-27-2gb.img.xz (Wheezy stable)
(KERNEL: BeagleBone/BeagleBone Black: v3.8.13-bone47 kernel)

I seem to be befuddled as I think some junk should show up on i2cdetect or i2cdump but I get nothing.
Help ? Ideas ?

Thanks in Advanced.

Try with just the i2c bus number or without the /dev/ like:
i2cdetect -F 0
i2cdetect -F i2c-0

Thanks. I’m not sure what strangeness was going on but then it started working. :wink:
