Chip address for 82580 i2c interface with Linux

[TSuzu6]

Hi! all

I use 82580EB whose i2c interface(SFP0_I2C_CLK,DATA) is connected to an i2c slave device.

I make igb driver as below,

[detail]

-Base ver:igb-5.2.9.4.tar.gz

-patches:add_i2cenable_parameter.patch

i2c_disables_oe_when_reading_scl_and_sda.patch

i2c_tristates_pins_for_high_value.patch

I try to check i2c interface as following steps,

(1)modprobe -r igb

(2)modprobe igb I2CBB=1

(3)modprobe i2c-dev

(4)i2cdetect - 0

-----------------------------result------------------------------------------

WARNING! This program can confuse your I2C bus, cause data loss and worse!

I will probe file /dev/i2c-0.

I will probe address range 0x03-0x77.

Continue? [Y/n] y

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f

00: -- -- -- -- -- 08 -- -- -- -- -- -- --

10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

20: -- -- -- -- 24 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 38 -- -- -- -- -- -- --

40: -- -- -- -- 44 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

50: 50 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I guess that "i2cdetect -y 0" detects 4 i2c interface. Because 82580 has 4 i2c interface.

But the result means that 5 i2c interface are detected.

I would like to know that what device is maeached to each chip address.

How should I confrm the relation between chip address and actual device ?

Best Regards,

Taira

Hello, taira:

Thank you for contacting Intel Embedded Community.

In order to be on the same page, we would like to address the following questions:

Could you please clarify us if the Intel(R) 82580EB implementation has been developed by you or it is a third party design?

Could you inform us if the requested information is related to a technical problem? In case that your answer is affirmative, please give us a detailed description of the issue.

Could you please tell us where you acquire the cited driver (igb-5.2.9.4.tar.gz)?

Could you please let us know the meaning of the term "maeached"?

We really appreciate the information that may answer the previous consultations.

Hi! Carlos_A

Thank you for your reply.

My answers are as below,

(Q1)Could you please clarify us if the Intel(R) 82580EB implementation has been developed by you or it is a third party design?

(A1)Yes, the 82580EB is implemented on our design.

(Q2)Could you inform us if the requested information is related to a technical problem? In case that your answer is affirmative, please give us a detailed description of the issue.

(A2)Yes, I guess that this issue is related to our HW design or our Linux configuration.

[detail]

OS:Fedora 17(kernel:3.4.33.-1 rt47.1.fc17.ccrma.i686.rt)

OS works on general desktop computer(Intel corei-7)

HW:The board we designed is connected to this computer via pci-express slot.

The our board has a 82580EB with the EEPROM of the 82580EB.

One of 4 i2c interfaces on 82580EB is connected to the slave i2c device.

Others are connected to nothing.

I make and install igb driver with i2c patches and modified Makefile on the OS.

I perform the next steps,

(1)modprobe -r igb

(2)modprobe igb I2CBB=1

(3)modprobe i2c-dev

(4)i2cdetect - 0

As a result, i2c bus-0 detects 5 chip address(0x08,0x24,0x38,0x44,0x50)

(Q3)Could you please tell us where you acquire the cited driver (igb-5.2.9.4.tar.gz)?

(A3) I acquired it on https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/igb%20stable/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/igb%20stable/

The Patches are on https://sourceforge.net/p/e1000/patches/28/ https://sourceforge.net/p/e1000/patches/28/

(Q4)Could you please let us know the meaning of the term "maeached"?

Oh,,,sorry for my broken english. "maeached" is mistake. It means "matched".

I would like to know that which chip address correspond to which device.

Hello, taira:

Thanks for your reply.

Based on your previous communication, you should address as a reference your consultations related to this driver to the https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/support support for Intel Ethernet Drivers and Utilities at its developer website.

We hope that this information may help you.

Hi Carlos_A

Thank you for your reply.

I have visited to "https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/support Intel Ethernet Drivers and Utilities | Support for Intel Ethernet Drivers and Utilities at SourceForge.net ".

There is a link which is "Best Way to Get Help" is http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=42302&atid=447449 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=42302&atid=447449

which is download page for ixgbe-5.1.3.tar.gz.

ixgbe-5.1.3.tar.gz is driver for Intel 82599 and 82598EB 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controllers.

(Refer to https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/14687/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-PCIe-Intel-10-Gigabit-Ethernet-Network-Connections-Under-Linux- https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/14687/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-PCIe-Intel-10-Gigabit-Ethernet-Network-Connections-Under-Linux-)

I recognize that driver for intel 82580 is igb driver, not ixgbe driver.

Does ixgbe driver work on Intel 82580 ?

If my understanding is incorrect, please advice.

Taira
