It is possible to access the I2C driver directly and it was my intention to show you how to do this. Unfortunately we did not make it up a level where we can understand how a device driver works. The following exercises it there not part of the examination exercises!

Prepare a buffer with some data to be written to the EEPROM. Use your previous program to read these data back. Power down the Raspberry Pi, wait a minute and then switch it back on again. Verify that you can still read back the data. | ||||||||

The at24c32 EEPROM is mounted together with the DS1307 RTC on the Tiny RTC module (chip on the right). The Tiny RTC module therefore responds to 2 I2C addresses. You find these 2 addresses with the i2cdetect command and you can figure out from the data sheets which of the addresses corresponds to which chip. | ||||||||

Exercise 1: Read the EEPROMThe at24c32 is a 32 kBit device and can therefore store a total of 4096 bytes (4096 * 8 = 32 kBit). Like the DAC it is an I2C device. To make things easier for you, again a library is supplied. | ||||||||

So… Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson: show your talents and find out the contents of the message. Write a program called readEnigma reading the EEPROM and printing its content in hex (%x) and as characters (%c).
Exercise 2: Re-write the program without using the librarySince there are only very few library calls it is also possible to access the EEPROM through pigpio calls avoiding my library all together. Make sure you get the same result as in the first exercise.Exercise 3: Write the EEPROM | |||||||

Exercise 15: EEPROM and Driver AccessGoal:The goal of this exercise is twofold: First we will learn about an EEPROM, a Electrically Erasable Read Only Memory. These devices are often used in instruments to store calibration values or configuration parameters. EEPROMs can usually be read byte by byte but can be erased and written only in blocks. | ||||||||
