/usr/local/sbin/i2cset: invalid option -- '-'
Usage: i2cset [-f] [-y] [-m MASK] [-r] [-a] I2CBUS CHIP-ADDRESS DATA-ADDRESS [VALUE] ... [MODE]
I2CBUS is an integer or an I2C bus name
ADDRESS is an integer (0x08 - 0x77, or 0x00 - 0x7f if -a is given)
MODE is one of:
c (byte, no value)
b (byte data, default)
w (word data)
i (I2C block data)
s (SMBus block data)
Append p for SMBus PEC
Options (7)
| Option | Description | Source |
|---|
-V | Display the version and exit. | man |
-h | Display the help and exit. | man |
-f | Force access to the device even if it is already busy. | man |
-y | Disable interactive mode. | man |
-m mask | The mask parameter, if specified, describes which bits of value will be actually written to data-address. | man |
-r | Read back the value right after writing it, and compare the result with the value written. | man |
-a | Allow using addresses between 0x00 - 0x07 and 0x78 - 0x7f. | man |
Examples (3) from the manual page, untested
i2cset 1 0x2d 0x11 0x42
Write value 0x42 to 8-bit register 0x11 of the I2C device at 7-bit address 0x2d on bus 1 (i2c-1), after user confirmation:i2cset -y -m 0x07 1 0x2d 0x11 0x00
Immediately clear the 3 least significant bits of 8-bit register 0x11 of the I2C device at 7-bit address 0x2d on bus 1 (i2c-1) (no user confirmation):i2cset 1 0x48 0x02 0x5000 w
Write value 0x5000 to 16-bit register 0x02 of the I2C device at 7-bit address 0x48 on bus 1 (i2c-1), after user confirmation:
