Hello All,

>From the architecture mentioned in below link.

http://www.embexperts.com/attachments/forumid_9/11012316293acb53699d289750.png

I have some questions:

In the Kernel space:

1. Client driver is refers to Driver for Each connected devices - Example:
EEPROM, I2c_LCD etc.
2. i2c-core - The I2C core layer manages bus adapters, device drivers and
device clients
3. I2c Adapters - ?? I didn't get what it is actually. Can somebody please
explain ?

Thanks

AFAIK, I2C Adapter is basically HOST side I2C controller. And I2C core is
containing some common code (routines) being used by both I2C client (I2C
devices) driver and I2C adapter (controller) driver.
