About:
i2c-tools is a suite of I2C tools for Linux that allow users to interact with I2C devices on a bus. It provides utilities to scan for devices, read and write data, and detect kernel drivers. This toolkit is essential for debugging and configuring hardware components like sensors and EEPROMs.

Key Features:

i2cdetect: Scans the I2C bus for connected devices
i2cget/i2cset: Reads from and writes to specific I2C registers
i2cdump: Dumps the register values of a connected device
i2c-stub: Kernel module for simulating I2C devices for testing

Use Cases:

Debugging hardware connections and verifying device presence on an I2C bus
Reading sensor data or configuring device registers manually
Developing and testing I2C device drivers without physical hardware
