CONFIG_EEPROM_AT24: I2C EEPROMs / RAMs / ROMs from most vendors

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_EEPROM_AT24 has multiple definitions:

I2C EEPROMs / RAMs / ROMs from most vendors found in drivers/misc/eeprom/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_EEPROM_AT24:

Help text

Enable this driver to get read/write support to most I2C EEPROMs and compatible devices like FRAMs, SRAMs, ROMs etc. After you configure the driver to know about each chip on your target board. Use these generic chip names, instead of vendor-specific ones like at24c64, 24lc02 or fm24c04:

24c00, 24c01, 24c02, spd (readonly 24c02), 24c04, 24c08, 24c16, 24c32, 24c64, 24c128, 24c256, 24c512, 24c1024, 24c2048

Unless you like data loss puzzles, always be sure that any chip you configure as a 24c32 (32 kbit) or larger is NOT really a 24c16 (16 kbit) or smaller, and vice versa. Marking the chip as read-only won't help recover from this. Also, if your chip has any software write-protect mechanism you may want to review the code to make sure this driver won't turn it on by accident.

If you use this with an SMBus adapter instead of an I2C adapter, full functionality is not available. Only smaller devices are supported (24c16 and below, max 4 kByte).

This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module will be called at24.
