The i.MX6 supports standard I2C at 100khz, or using fast mode for 400khz operation. The CPU has 2 I2C buses used on the TS-4900.

I2C 1 is internal to the TS-4900 and connects to the RTC and FPGA.

Address Device
0x28-0x2f #FPGA
0x57 #NVRAM
0x6f #RTC

The second I2C bus is brought out on CN2_28 (SCL) and CN2_30 (SDA). This bus has no devices except those added by the baseboard.

Note: It is also possible to request the kernel to bitbang additional I2C buses as needed. See an example here.

The kernel makes the I2C available at /dev/i2c-#. You can use the i2c-tools (i2cdetect, i2cget, i2cset), or you can write your own client.
