From 2ac6985a7466a1c8a7aa8b2fa24d360925a82764 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Dyer Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2008 17:36:01 -0600 Subject: soft_i2c.c add option for repeated start in i2c_read() This patch adds a #define to optionally change the behaviour of i2c_read() in soft_i2c.c to send an I2C repeated start instead of a stop-start between sending the device address pointer write and reading back the data. The current behaviour is retained as the default. While most devices will work either way, I have a smart battery(*) that requires repeated start, and someone at some point found a device that required a stop-start.
