6 eeprog - reads and writes 24Cxx EEPROMs connected to I2C serial bus
7
9 eeprog [-fqxdh] [-16|-8] [-r addr[:count]|-w addr] <device> <i2c-addr>
10
12 eeprog uses the SMBus protocol used by most of the recent chipsets.
13
15 Don't forget to load your i2c chipset and the i2c-dev drivers.

51 Bus
52
53 device Device file representing the I2C bus (eg. /dev/i2c-0)
54
55 i2c-addr
56 I2C bus address of the EEPROM (eg. 0x3A)
57
59 Read 64 bytes from the EEPROM at address 0x54 on bus 0 starting at
60 address 123 (decimal)
61
62 eeprog /dev/i2c-0 0x54 -r 123:64
63
64 Print the hex codes of the first 32 bytes read from bus 1 at address
65 0x22
66
67 eeprog /dev/i2c-1 0x51 -x -r 0x22:0x20
68
69 Write the current timestamp at address 0x200 of the EEPROM on bus 0 at
70 address 0x33
