how to enable /dev/i2c-0 on 0x64 - donadams - 05-12-2024

Hi All, I've ran through this tut https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Ox64 and flashed my board. Along the way I enabled the i2c options in the buildroot menu but I don't see "/dev/i2c-0 " when booted. I also don't see i2c kernal msgs (not sure if there should be?). i2ctools is installed.
Wondering if anyone knows what the next step is from there? Is there a device tree that needs to be updated?
Thanks

There's no I2C (Linux) driver for the BL808 at present.

So is there any information about I2C (Linux) driver for the BL808 in the near future?

Not really, most development seems to have stalled. Kernel development mainly happens/ed here:
