I2C Slave?

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi

I need to communicate with a I2C master with a BeagleBone black rev3 (Debian) as a slave.

I have search over the internet but not find anything. I'm new with BeagleBone.

I find a lot of example for master but not for the slave.

Can somebody please help me?

 

Regards Stefan

    Thanks for the responses, Gary and shabaz! I had already done some surface level searches for Linux I2C drivers that also do slave-mode but didn't come up with anything conclusive. And I had almost forgot…

    "if you let the master "broadcast" a welcome message to see who responds with an address" The address used for this in the I2C specification is the general call address. I think your are correct that this…

    @ benett Linux 3.19 provides I2C slave mode kernel driver.

    I'd also like to know this!

     

    For my project, I'd like to have the BBB rev C receive I2C (TWI) messages from up to about 25 different AVR microcontrollers on the bus. I just assumed that the BBB was capable of I2C slave mode because it said it "supports I2C" but now I'm not sure -- I can't find any examples or documentation.

     

    For my application, they could all be masters in a multi-master layout, or they could switch modes -- BBB(slave) listen to all others (multi-master) then switch to the traditional I2C BBB(master) speak to all others (slaves).

     

    Let me know what you find!
