@ -225,15 +225,15 @@ In general, the kernel should know which I2C devices are connected and
what addresses they live at. However, in certain cases, it does not, so a
sysfs interface was added to let the user provide the information. This
interface is made of 2 attribute files which are created in every I2C bus
directory: new_device and delete_device. Both files are write only and you
must write the right parameters to them in order to properly instantiate,
respectively delete, an I2C device.
directory: ``new_device`` and ``delete_device``. Both files are write
only and you must write the right parameters to them in order to properly
instantiate, respectively delete, an I2C device.
File new_device takes 2 parameters: the name of the I2C device (a string)
and the address of the I2C device (a number, typically expressed in
hexadecimal starting with 0x, but can also be expressed in decimal.)
File ``new_device`` takes 2 parameters: the name of the I2C device (a
string) and the address of the I2C device (a number, typically expressed
in hexadecimal starting with 0x, but can also be expressed in decimal.)
File delete_device takes a single parameter: the address of the I2C
File ``delete_device`` takes a single parameter: the address of the I2C
device. As no two devices can live at the same address on a given I2C
segment, the address is sufficient to uniquely identify the device to be
deleted.
