Hy, I need to get some informations stored into the eeprom tlv If i well understand the dts, the eeprom is on the I2C bus 0 address 0x53 When i tried to access with i2c command, it returns the device is busy. ```auto # i2cdetect -y 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f 00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 20: UU -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- UU -- -- -- 50: -- -- -- UU -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 60: -- -- -- -- 64 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- # # i2cdump -y 0 0x53 No size specified (using byte-data access) Error: Could not set address to 0x53: Device or resource busy # i2cget -y 0 0x53 0x0 Error: Could not set address to 0x53: Device or resource busy ``` is it normal? Thanks by advance 🙂 ---

Yes this is normal. It is because the device is bound to the kernel eeprom driver. You can access the eeprom through the standard sysfs interface exposed by the kernel.
