    The document provides steps to interface an Odroid-C2 board with an AMC6821 fan controller chip using I2C communication. It involves installing dependencies, configuring the kernel, building and installing new kernel modules, and testing I2C functionality. Modprobe is used to load the necessary drivers on boot, and edits to rc.local ensure the fan controller is initialized automatically on system startup.

    Interfacing Odroid-C2 with AMC6821 (Fan Controller)

    (I2C Communication)

    Step 1:Switch to Root User

    odroid@odroid64:~$ su

    Password: [Default Password: Odroid]


    root@odroid64:/home/odroid#

    Step 2: Install Depended Packages ( git,gcc )

    root@odroid64:~# apt-get update

    root@odroid64:~# apt-get install lzop build-essential libncurses5-dev

    Install Git:
    root@odroid64:~# apt-get install git

    Install alternative gcc-4.9 :


    root@odroid64:~# apt-get install gcc-4.9

    Step 3:Set Priority for gcc and make high priority for gcc-4.9

    root@odroid64:~# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-5 10


    root@odroid64:~# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 20
    root@odroid64:~# update-alternatives --config gcc
    There are 2 choices for the alternative gcc (providing /usr/bin/gcc).

    Selection Path Priority Status


    ------------------------------------------------------------
    *0 /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 20 auto mode
    1 /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 20 manual mode
    2 /usr/bin/gcc-5 10 manual mode

    Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: ^C


    root@odroid64:~#

    Step 4: Check gcc-4.9 is selected by checking gcc version:


    root@odroid64:~# gcc -v

    Using built-in specs.


    ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
    :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
    gcc version 4.9.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.9.3-13ubuntu2)

    Step 5: Download the kernel source files from git:

    root@odroid64:~# cd /usr/src
    root@odroid64:/usr/src# git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hardkernel/linux.git -b
    odroidc2-3.14.y
    Cloning into 'linux'...
    remote: Counting objects: 51208, done.
    remote: Compressing objects: 100% (47984/47984), done.
    remote: Total 51208 (delta 3707), reused 20881 (delta 2572), pack-reused 0
    Receiving objects: 100% (51208/51208), 139.38 MiB | 2.96 MiB/s, done.
    Resolving deltas: 100% (3707/3707), done.
    Checking connectivity... done.
    Checking out files: 100% (48395/48395), done.

    Step 6: Change to linux direcory

    root@odroid64:/usr/src# cd linux/
    root@odroid64:/usr/src/linux#

    Step 7: Enabling Driver Support for (AMC6821) through following steps

    root@odroid64:/usr/src/linux# make odroidc2_defconfig


    #
    # configuration written to .config
    #

    Step 8: Enabling Driver Support for (AMC6821)

    root@odroid64:/usr/src/linux# make menuconfig

    Now using Down Arrow key Choose the Device Drivers and then Enter
    Now using Down Arrow key Choose the Hardware Monitoring Support and then Enter

    Now using Down Arrow key Choose the Texas Instruments AMC6821 and then press Y

    Now Press S to Save and press E to Exit from curent window until it shows main window
    finally press Esc until you see this window

    Here press Y to save configuration


    Step 9: Now make and Install the modules

    root@odroid64:/usr/src/linux# make -j4


    [Note:it may take upto 60 Mins. For the first time]
    root@odroid64:/usr/src/linux# make modules_install

    Step 10: Copy the compiled files to the boot drive and reboot

    root@odroid64:/usr/src/linux#cp -f arch/arm64/boot/Image
    arch/arm64/boot/dts/meson64_odroidc2.dtb /media/boot/

    root@odroid64:/usr/src/linux#sync
    root@odroid64:/usr/src/linux#reboot

    Step 11: Now install required tools for i2c

    root@odroid64:/usr/src/linux#sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler i2c-tools

    Step 12: Check i2cdetect to verify i2c library (Example Address : 68 for rtc-ds1307)

    root@odroidc2:/usr/src/linux# i2cdetect -y 1
    [Note:1-we are using 1 I2C Device]
    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
    00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
    10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
    20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
    30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
    40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
    50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
    60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 68 -- -- -- -- -- -- --
    70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

    Step 13:Now start i2c,amc6821 using modprobe

    root@odroid64:/usr/src/linux#modprobe aml_i2c
    root@odroid64:/usr/src/linux#modprobe i2c-dev
    root@odroid64:/usr/src/linux#modprobe amc6821

    Step 14: To enable AMC6821 on boot


    root@odroidc2:/usr/src/linux#nano /etc/modules

    [Paste the following content and save it by Ctrl+x and Y and Enter]
    aml_i2c
    i2c-dev
    amc-6821

    Step 15: root@odroidc2:/usr/src/linux#nano /etc/rc.local

    [Paste the following content and save it by Ctrl+x and Y and Enter]
    # Setup AMC6821
    echo amc6821 0x4f > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/new_device
    [Note: where 0x4f replace with your device address]
