Create I2C device functionality for control of devices by SM/Zynq data path #210

@pwittich

Description

@pwittich

We need to create a I2C device functionality that will allow the MCU to relay commands from the Zynq via I2C for configuration and reading of registers on various devices that only the Zynq MCU has access to.

These devices include

  • Firefly devices
  • LGA80D Dc/DC converters
  • clock chips
  • the MCU itself

The Zynq would initiate a command, which the MCU would read (high priority interrupt), get the necessary information (either from MCU memory or via an explicit I2C r/w to the attached I2C busses), and then put the information on the bus back to the Zynq, possibly delaying the response to the zynq (I2C clock stretching?).

The first blush proposal is to support I2C registered access only with a fixed data size (8 bit addresses, 16 bit data). Expand the address space with pages as is customary with I2C devices.

Page Information
0 Frequent baseline information.
1 LGA80D devices
2-2+20 Firefly devices -- one page per device?
23 - 23+5 Clock devices
